I am sure there are plenty we don't get to hear about!

Haha, I went to high school with the guy (male prostitute named Steve) that Barney Frank got caught with.

None. They are all boring as hell and nobody would give a fuck if it was their next door neighbor that did the same shit. For some reason the media thinks we care and they make such a nice show of it that we watch and forget that we don't actually care.

Well it depends... what do you consider to be worse? Banging hookers and college chicks and denying it or banging dudes and underage boys and denying that you are gay?

Both parties have some individuals who behave badly.

But, the Democrats, as a party, distinguish themselves with an institutional corruption that knows no equal. The best example is the Clinton impeachment in which they completely disregarded the law and the facts to get a result they wanted.

The Republican Party does not generally tolerate bad behavior.

Neither. What leaders do behind closed doors is irrelevant to me.

However a lot of people like to involve themselves in other peoples private matters. Then weigh against some sort of morality standard that dumb people believe in.

I would not give a shit what my leaders do until they fuck up what they are hired to do. Lead.

Republicans have the worst most embarrassing sex scandals but Democrats break the law more often.

I find it more entertaining that it's this cycle in which every time a new person gets caught red-handed they somehow think they can lie about it and nobody will find out. Good grief, tell the truth, take the fall out, move on and things might just work out.

Some serious assertions here, bro. Please respond with an itemized list of corroborating FACTS regarding said event.

Thank you

Equal I guess... :pimp

For me it is normally the republicans that have the worst scandals. Not that what they are doing is any worse, but typically they preach to the moral right and denounce this kind of behavior only to then get caught doing it themselves.

So "conservative" hypocrisy is worse the "liberal" hypocrisy?

Banging some "P" on the side should be accepted as what powerful men do. In some countries, if you have a consort, you are seen as a "manly man".

To me, the worst scandals are those by people who condemn the actions of others while indulging themselves in the same practices.......like that creep, Senator Larry Craig, that got caught soliciting men in airport bathroom stalls.:disgust

I agree with you on the Larry Craig example. Self-righteousness blinds people to their own failings.

Sex Scandals are bullshit. People should not care at all if a politician gets some extra on the side. The US (and partially Canada) are screwed up when it comes to this.

Just imagine if Weiner told the truth from day one. "Yes, I emailed my junk to some people I shouldn't have. I'm sorry and it was a mistake, now lets get back to work". That would have been the coolest thing he could have said.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh True-Believer Syndrome is a hell of a drug

True... when Clinton got his dick sucked, the Republicans couldn't tolerate being left out so they set out on a witch hunt that disregarded the law and facts, all so they could attempt to get what they want.

The Republican Party doesn't tolerate bad behavior but they welcome in hypocrites.

:1orglaugh

I vote for Anthony Weiner

Weiner is just the most recent victim of media hysteria and conservative intolerance. In a couple of weeks, we will probably be having the John Edward's Misappropriation of Political Contributions to Coverup Mistress Trial.

New week, new faces, new scandals and nothing really new. Just people behaving badly.

Weiner should of manned up, just admitted to the incident, apologized and said "I'm not going to comment on it anymore so let's get back to work."

they're all kind of funny


that they are even scandals in the first place

It doesn't matter to me, one party is just as worse as the other.

What slays me is they get elected on their "family morals and values" but the truth is they are no better than anyone else.

Exactamundo. :thumbsup

It depends. Take for example this situation with Anthony Wiener. I don't follow him closely so I don't know what he has or has not said in the past, but assume for the sake of this argument that he has never said anything about the sanctity of marriage and about maintaining a high personal moral standard. On the other hand you have a republican who has spoken out about the sanctity of marriage and has spoken out at length about personal morality. Then let's say they both twitter pics of their cock to some girl and have text sex with her over Facebook. Neither of them has acted well and they both are wrong and out of line, but is it not a little more hypocritical of the person who has taken the stance of being a high moral authority to be doing this kind of stuff?

Dude everytime you post is nothing less than pure Comedy!

If ignorance is bliss you must be ecstatic, not to mention you're one ugly fuck.

i think the republicans seem to love the cock a lot more than the dems..

and its ironic since all the ones that were involved in gay scandals spent so much time and effort persecuting the gays..

The question is flawed; each 'scandal' is its own event, and should be judged on its own facts. The political affiliations of the people involved are irrelevant.

In terms of pure entertainment value, I definitely prefer scandals that involve highly self-righteous and moralistic people. (The more austere and puritanical they claimed to be prior to getting caught with their hand in the nookie jar, the better.)

It's just not as much fun to kick a guy when he's down if that guy never publicly condemned the very same acts that he privately engages in. :2 cents:

Yep. Self-righteousness adds a whole new comedic layer to a tragedy

You said it a lot better than I tried to.

Scandals = media grist
