What is about politicians that they can't keep their pants on?
Hart, Clinton, McGreevey, Spitzer, Edwards, Sanford, the list is endless. It's now so commonplace that politicians who aren't doing it might be the exception. The common thread seems to be they're all middle-aged males. Which begs the question why any woman would want to have sex with these guys.
I wonder about these guys whose judgment and decision-making is at least theoretically why they got elected. It shows an obvious lack of self-control. I also wonder about their morals. Sanford did his dallying on Father's Day. Apparently sex with his mistress must have been better than being with his four school-age sons on that day. That's pretty shameless but not as much as John Edwards cheating on his wife while she had cancer. That's so low I'm not even sure Bill Clinton would have thought of that.
The Clinton episode amazed me because of the number of people who continued to support him. Why do supporters of these guys think they are going to get treated any differnently from the way he treated his wife? Pure and simple: if he lies to his wife he sure as hell is going to lie to us.
At least Mrs. Sanford is handling it with class. She kicked his ass out of the house and didn't show up for his news conferences holding his hand and looking sad. That's what this country needs more of--wives who stand up to these guys' behavior. Do you know what would be great? If she ran for office and beat his ass. Cool.
