the fact that people say its a scandal kind of makes it one though doesn't it? how many times does the word 'scandal' show up in your post?
and how can you say that male politicians never get nailed to the wall for sex scandals? what about ex-president Clinton? what about that one dude who got caught texting or chatting with one of his pages to do wierd shit with him? what about the generals who were kicked out of the Armed Forces for admitting homosexuality?
do women catch alot of undeserved shit when they're public servants? sure, but i think its unfair to say that men don't get their fair share
regardless, it seems like this is becoming a tangent of what the thread originally meant to discuss. for argument's sake, lets just choose a sexually ambiguous name like "alex smith." if alex holds public office, is it surprising that his/her life is under more scrutiny than your average citizen?
