It is true that power is a powerful aphrodisiac. Many young
college girls fall for their middle aged professors and many
politicians cannot resist temptation. I think that it is a
defect in emotional intelligence on the part of the
politicos who risk their marriages and their careers for a
fling. John Edwards learned this to his sorrow.
I do not give a flip what they do in their private lives and
how they conduct themselves in private. What I object to
is the media and how they exploit sexual behavior and
expose the innocent party to the media.
Sex has been around forever. It wasn't just discovered
by the baby boomers. I can just visualize Barbara Walters
picking over every detail of the Weiner scandal with Mrs.
Weiner. There is more to a marriage and a life than
sex and having said that I wouldn't tolerate infidelity
for a minute because it is a breach of trust. Mrs.
Weiner evidently has a different view than I do and
I respect her generosity.
Enough of these sex scandals! The politicians should be
discreet and the media should back off.
