Hall of Shame

Mark Sanford, Republican

“Disappeared” to Argentina for several days to continue his extramarital affair with a woman he met eight years ago.

John Edwards, Democrat

Had a child out of wedlock with an ex-campaign worker while his wife was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Eliot Spitzer, Democrat

Paid $15,000 for at least seven liaisons with high-priced prostitutes as New York Governor and possibly five times as much as Attorney General. He’s been married for twenty years and has three children.

Mark Foley, Republican

Resigned after explicit sexual email messages to underage male interns surfaced. This is part of a history of similar abuses over the previous ten years, partially explained away as a “drinking problem.” Now lives openly gay.

Bill Clinton, Democrat

Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Gennifer Flowers, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Sally Perdue, Monica Lewinsky … nothing more need be said.



What’s the deal with these moral imbeciles? Are they so deluded that they actually think they won’t get caught? Is the thrill of the sex act so all-consuming that they will risk – and ruin – their lives, their reputations, their futures, and, most importantly, those of their wives and children? I don’t get it.

But I do come to a couple of conclusions. First, it’s a non-partisan issue. There’s something in the brain chemistry of a male politician that makes him susceptible these idiotic, immoral activities. Just as many democrats fall as republicans. It affects the evil party as well as the stupid party indiscriminately. There’s often a feeding frenzy when a republican gets caught with his pants down, because of two things: the press is overwhelmingly liberal, and often republicans campaign on family values. But it’s no less disgusting and repulsive when a democrat does it.

Someone who steals my wallet who says it’s okay to steal under certain conditions is no less guilty of theft as someone who steals my wallet after proclaiming from the rooftops that stealing is wrong.

Second, the only adequate response that has any degree of honor, however infinitesimal, is immediate resignation. Disappear from public service, please, as soon as possible. Mark Sanford, you need to go, now if not sooner, and stay out of the limelight. Forever. We need to forget about you. Forgiveness is your wife’s to give, and you better get on your hands and knees and beg for it. You can’t repair the marriage you so callously destroyed and run a state government at the same time. Go. Goodbye.

We will not allow these moral dimwits to remain in power. They do not deserve the respect and honor of the positions they seek.
