What Is It With Politicians and Sex?

Do they think they Can't get caught? They go out of their way to prosecute people who sell sex, as well as those who buy it. Then they're caught buying sex from the same kinds of people they're prosecuting--and they say "it's a personal matter." Is it? I think if you DO the same things for which you're putting other people in prison, you're WORSE than a hypocrite. New York Gov. Spitzer did just that, and his own actions took it out of the "personal matter" class. Rep. Mark Foley of Florida was a big advocate of punishing any adult who had sex with minors. “They’re sick people; they need mental health counseling,” he shouted. But then ABC News caught Foley sending sexual instant messages to minors. Maybe he thought if he presented a "tough on child sex" demeanor, they'd never think he was engaged in it. Yes, he didn't "get caught" having sex with a minor, but it's only a matter of time if he's writing such things TO minors. Politicians work too hard to convince us they're "[protecting us" from sexual predators while they're really making lifetime sexual predators out of innocent teens who are only "doing what comes naturally" together. Then they get caught in their own sexual peccadilloes. The new New York governor is even giving "chapter and verse" about his own "sexual misdeeds" to "get it out there" so no one would be able to hit him with it later. What's going ON here?
