Republicans send their offenders home. Democrats send theirs back to Washington.David Vitter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vitter critter was relected.
Rs only care abuot sex scandals if the other guy doess it.
Oh, really? How many Republican sex scandal-ers hung around in office, versus how many Democrat sex-scandal-ers? Wanna count?
Jack Ryan - allegedly propositioned his own wife - outta there.
Mark Foley - sent inappropriate e-mails to pages - outta there.
Larry Craig - allegedly tapped his foot in a bathroom - outta there.
Ted Kennedy - left a girl allegedly pregnant by him in an Oldsmobile to drown - died in office decades later
Bill Clinton - flashed an employee, had sexual relations with an intern, was credibly accused of rape - finished second term and continues to campaign for Democrat candidates
Barney Frank - homosexual prostitute ran a call-boy ring out of his house - still in office
John Edwards - cheated on cancer-stricken wife and produced illegitimate child with mistress - continued to campaign for for Democrat candidates and causes
Gerry Studds - had sex with a 17-year-old Congressional page - re-elected to the House six more times
Anyone else notice that, not only does the Republican Party toss it's people off the train when they get in a scandal, but that Republican sex scandals don't seem to involve anyone actually having sex?
John Ensign is still there. Newt Gingrich will probably make a run for the top job again. Newt's dalliances were exposed after the Republicans made too much noise about Clinton's sexcapades, and he was replaced as Speaker of the House by Bob Livingston who was short-lived in the position when he confessed to the entire House membership of his own extramarital affairs. (They gave him a standing ovation. Go figure. But maybe it's because he cried.)
I accepted long ago that most men can't keep their zippers up, no matter how high profile they might be, or which party they represent. It's just one of those genetic codes that rears its ugly head (no pun intended) when the caveman mentality trumps all common sense.
