Some of those aren't so shocking and I don't remember them at all. I mean who cares that a politician was bailed out for a DUI by his mistress? But some I remember quite fondly-Larry Craig's men's room event was a laughable trainwreck from beginning to end.

BTW, what ever happened to "actress" Jeri Ryan?

Why is it surprising or scandalous in any way?

The facts are: humans have strong sex/reproductive drives, (and) they're not always monogamous, despite trying to be most of the time.

Yip-dee-fucking-do.

The US is a sexually repressive culture. Sex is only acceptable under special conditions.

While not a politician, I think Ted Haggard still deserves an 'honorable' mention due to the habit of most pastors to venture into social and foreign policy from the pulpit, in addition to the incredibly potent example of hypocrisy he represents.

Totally outclassed all the other homophobic, closet-gay conservatives with the extra sauce of meth and a male prostitute.

Spitzer is a good one too, Mr. Anti-Prostitution who happens to keep his own personal 'tang reserve. Heh.

maybe because it wasn't/isn't really a scandal. the dude and his wife were both already divorced and seeing other people.
He was supposedly nailing his staffer girlfriend (taxpayer-funded 'tang) while still married, and has now nominated his girlfriend to be an attorney general, I believe. Qualifies for me.

Why is it Republicans are generally the ones having gay affairs and Democrats are generally the ones who arrange to have someone else support their mistresses? Whatever happened to Democrats being the gay ones and Republicans being the cheap ones? Further evidence of the homogenization of the two parties.

you had bad info. his wife and he were separated and then divorced before they started banging, according to official reports. even if that wasn't the real story, i really don't think his wife cared. she was seeing someone else at the same time, too. it's not a scandal... that's called yet another american divorce.

if his gf had no qualifications for the job whatsoever, then, yeah, it'd be a scandal. she was very qualified, so it's not that big a deal.

Well, if your wife manages to hook Mrs 7 of 9, that means you're now stuck with MISTER 7 of 9! Hope you two have a good time! ;)

Btw, "sex scandal" is such a tired expression anyway. Sex isn't scandalous at all, it's quite natural. It's how every human being who's ever lived came into being (until we invented in vitro fertilization, but I digress.)

Only conservative christian moral constipation could possibly turn something so awesome as sex into scandal. :D So it's not really more a case of scandalous individual behaviour here, but of course it makes for bigger headlines in a repressive, constipated society to point out the sex bit, heh.

- Republican sex scandals tend to be hilariously explosive trainwrecks that are always good for a laugh.

Democrat sex scandals are usually just sad little affairs, usually devoid of much of the kinkiness and moral hypocrisy.

Tends to follow the respective policies of both platforms pretty well.

Haha... Lame stereotyping is lame... and still doesn't explain why Jim McGreevy missed the list.

Hitting up random dudes for sex at highway rest stops is kind of kinky... Salacious anyway. And I'm pretty sure Democrats are morally opposed to cheating on their spouses.

Really, I figured he'd be #1.

Don't remember Barney Frank and how his boyfriend ran a prostitution ring out of Frank's house?? Seems at least a little kink to me.

I love the lengths partisans will go to in order to describe how the aroma of their shit is quite different.

I dunno, I tend to agree with him. Republican sex scandals do tend to be hilariously explosive train wrecks that are always good for a laugh. Hiking the Appalachian Trail? Is that the new metaphor for anal sex? Just because I lean Republican doesn't mean I can't appreciate the humor in a political train wreck. It's always funnier when a Senator gets caught chatting up random men in a public toilet if that Senator is also on record talking about how horrible gays are.

Some Democrat sex scandals have been as funny/shocking (McGreevy and Spitzer come to mind), but most are just sad (Clinton.) Some have been more serious, such as Barney Frank's call boy service or Gerry Studds' taking his underage page boy sex toy on foreign policy junkets, or Ted Kennedy's or Gary Condit's dead bits o' fluff, but most of those aren't this past decade.

The funny thing is that his sex scandal basically made Obama a US Senator too.

Yes, the press had a sympathetic judge unseal the guy's divorce records, which destroyed his career and gave Obama an unrestricted rise to the Senate. I'm kind of conflicted about that, though. I mean, on the one hand it's an unproven allegation in a divorce custody hearing (and really, isn't she an adult who can decide for herself whether she wants to go to a sex club and then act on that?) On the other hand, it could have been something really bad that was hidden in order to get a juicy settlement. Still, I'm surprised the judge unsealed the records considering what was there. Just more Chicago style politics I guess.

Who'd have ever thought that a politician allegedly taking his very hot wife to sex clubs would have ushered a totally unremarkable state senator into the White House in just four years?
