We love to be titillated by the amorous adventures of our politicos. Consider the following: Bill Clinton, JFK, Mark Sanford, Eliot Spitzer, and Anthony Wiener.
Mark Sanford went on a trip with his girlfriend in South America while telling his staff he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. The voters reelected him as their governor.
Bill Clinton opened his zipper, took out his erection, and had his intern give him oral sex in the Oval Office of the White House. The American public continues to love him.
JFK bedded a lot of women while president. He also bedded a hooker, the Judith Exner woman. But, he didn't pay. Didn't have to. The Chicago gangster, Sam Giancana, picked up the tab.
Anthony Wiener, to the best of my knowledge (based on NY newspaper accounts) never committed adultery. His transgression was more serious. By putting a shot of himself in his shorts on Facebook, he was acting childishly. NY voters have yet to be heard from.
Eliot Spitzer patronized fancy hookers in Washington DC. How does this compare with the other politicos? It seems hardly less noble than wielding the highest office in the land over some simple minded intern to gain a sexual favor. Mark Sanford had a girlfriend, who he referred to as his soul mate. One can only wonder whose wife felt more betrayed, Sanford's or Spitzer's.
As to Wiener -- he's just childish and ought to be sent back to the third grade.
