It isn't sex that gets these guys in trouble, it's hypocrisy.

4. I wish more would stop scouring for a conspiracy and realize that he

dug himself his own grave.

5. But why Spitzer and why now ? A Watergate ring was exposed yrs ago

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12634250 /

apparently only Duke Cunningham got 'exposed'. Now Bushco is using their 'intell' on their perceived enemies.

BTW, check the publishing date on the MSNBC story above. They've been sitting on this for HOW LONG ???

Brian Ross and Lisa Myers were 'covering' this story, or should I say, covering-up for quite awhile now.

"It's all part of a growing ongoing investigation into corruption in defense and intelligence contracts, which already has sent former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham to prison and, legal sources say, may threaten others in Congress and the CIA. "

Just who were these others ? Looks like we'll never know.

10. I don't see it that way. But you and I have discussed it already.

This was an ongoing investigation. The sad thing is that Elliot should have known better. He needs to resign.

[EVDebs]

12. THAT was an ongoing investigation too. Bill Clinton knew better too

but if Linda Tripp, you know, the Delta Force secretary and Bush holdover, hadn't put made things soooo public...well, there you go !

[JackRiddler]

6. I think the cliche you are looking for is

he made his own bed!

;)

[EVDebs]

8. Yep. Osama's still loose and this is the biggest fish they can fry !

Howzat for cliches ? THIS is the biggest fish Bushco could fry. Pathetic, eh ?

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Heheheh...unfortunately both are apropos.

[Dr.Phool]

9. He did not!!! The devil made him do it.

Some public crying, and repentence, and all will be forgoten.

[bluerum]

15. No. It's the sex.

[KharmaTrain]

7. Power, Ego...

I recall the saying of power being the ultimate aphrodisiac...and with it comes virility. The ego and the libido go hand in hand in many "highly motivated" people. It's not just the sex as much as the aura that goes around it...the feeling of being "sexy" and thus a confirmation of that power. For some it's the number of conquests, others its the "big catch" and still others its just the ego trip of feeling or being the high roller, living the loca vida.

13. Bingo!

14. Us country folk call it "thinkin' with the wrong head."

Why go past that?
