The Top 10 Political Sex Scandals of All Time Alternet

I'm sorry, I can't believe they left out David Vitter's being dressed in diapers. Wtf?

No mention of Cleveland either... let alone Washington:

>> Between 1785 and 1786, the first president of the United States, George Washington (1732-1799) had a child named West Ford with a black girl of 15 or 16, known as Venus, who worked as slave planting of his half-brother John Washington. <<
​

or Tyler:

>> President John Tyler (1790-1862), tenth president of the United States the most prolific of American presidents owned many slaves.

There were frequent intimacy with many of his female slaves. He had two known illegitimate children, a girl who was treated with consideration by the Tyler family and a son John William Dunjee (1833-1903) who became pastor of the Baptist Church, professor and founder of the newspaper"Harper's Ferry Messenger". << (both quoted from here)
​

Hard to believe diaper-dressing and slave-rape didn't rate while an Oval Orifice blowjob did -- even though they do mention Thurmond's fathering of Essie Mae Washington Williams.

I don't know who they refer to with the airport proposition thing. They don't even bother to identify him. Frankly this list needs work -- they're not giving our history its proper lascivious due.

I thought of the Vitter mess too. Amazing to me that he, Coburn and Santorum can show their faces and downright astounding that Santorum is again running for prez.

Actually they never mentioned Larry Craig either. Which is a bizarre omission.

Larry Craig was the bi airport dude who was arrested for trying to proposition a cop in the Minneapolis airport.

I thought they said that guy resigned and then un-resigned. That threw me off.

He reigned, and then resigned, and then resigned again when his colleagues told him that his next congressional committee assignment was to investigate the theft of paper clips from halls of congress.

Bill Clinton s ong history of sexual assault

Washingtonpost.com Special Report Clinton Accused

Clinton s list of ignored accusers - Illinois Review

Here is a post from U.S. message that lists clintons victims...

Eileen Wellstone, a 19-year-old English woman, said Clinton sexually assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford where Clinton was a student in 1969. In fact, Clinton was expelled from Oxford and earned no degree there.

Juanita Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton’s gubernatorial campaign, said he raped her in 1978. Mrs. Broaddrick suffered a bruised and torn lip, which she said she suffered when Clinton bit her during the rape. Broaddrick gave a stunning interview to NBC’s Lisa Myers about the assault.

Carolyn Moffet, a legal secretary in Little Rock in 1979, said she met Gov. Clinton at a political fundraiser and was invited to his hotel room. “When I went in, he was sitting on a couch, wearing only an undershirt. He pointed at his penis and told me to suck it. I told him I didn’t even do that for my boyfriend and he got mad, grabbed my head and shoved it into his lap. I pulled away from him and ran out of the room,” she said.

Elizabeth Ward Gracen, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state title. Gracen later told an interviewer that sex with Clinton was consensual. Her roommate Judy Stokes has said the ex-Miss Arkansas told her she was raped after the incident.

Paula Corbin Jones, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones with an $850,000 payment.

Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, D.C., political fundraiser, said Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation’s capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She fled.

Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton’s leased campaign plane in 1992, says presidential candidate Clinton exposed himself, grabbed her breasts and made explicit remarks about oral sex. Zercher said later in an interview that White House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about the assault.

Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, said that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November 1993. Willey became a target for a Hillary directed smear campaign after she went public.

Vitter definitely should have made the list. The problem was that he had his office in New Orleans, and a grown man finding sexual satisfaction wearing a diaper in an incident involving a prostitute, would not even make the front page of the Picayune,,,,,
