Wonkette
The diligent worker bees at MSNBC have generated a dozen and a half or so names of prominent politicians who have been caught in the past decade sticking their parts into ladies who were not their wives, or expressing an interest in sticking their parts into gentlemen or boys who were not their wives either. It’s a sad day for feminism, as nobody can seem to think of any women politicians who sleep around. [First Read]
Crib sheets are nice…but I prefer bingo cards.

Simone de Beauvoir is rolling in her grave.
The list may be long, but what we don’t know would probably fill books. Human nature being what it is, it would probably be best if everyone STFU about family values, the sanctity of marriage, homosexuality, etc. and went about their business. Prurient interest notwithstanding, of course.
Republicans so far in front 11-10 and 3-1 in same-sex affairs. Tied at 1 in the bastard children department.
“nobody can seem to think of any women politicians who sleep around”
There is the story of Sarah Palin and Todd’s business partner; unfortunately that hasn’t been confirmed.
I read that the Queen of England had quite the thing for stable boys back in the day… does that count?
The week of the Larry Craig press conference, AMC was filling in for Mika on Stupid Joe. After 5 “I’m not gay”’s and only 4 “I love my wife”’s, she said “apparently he’s not gay more than he loves his wife. Thank you, Ana Marie. That will stay with me always.
JMP:
Beat me to it. The Snowbilly was supposedly involved in a love triangle with two men and a whole much of snowmobiles.
I think this raises a couple of issues:
1) In most studies, women do cheat as much as men - they are just smarter and cheat with less people reducing the chances of getting caught (I am not trying to imply anything here, I just seem to remember studies to this effect);
2) There are sadly fewer women in politics; and
3) Finally, yes, men are scum!
Susan Collins? I’ve heard some things. I know she’s single, but you said “sleeping around,” which I’m told single people sometimes also do.
The fact that we can’t get accurate Whore Diamond ratings on the femmes (ou hommes) fatale involved in these scandals is also a Crime Against Feminism. Why should they not receive proper acknowledgment for all the hard work they did, spending up to 8 minutes at a time beneath onion-y smelling pols?
I’d like to think it’s because women are smarter, stronger, classier, and more disciplined than men, but I may be a little biased.
Apparently, “values voters” is code for “philandering, blowhard, wrapped in Jebus Republican”…
Terry: Now you must apologize to David Letterman.
Re: Newt:
As he was weighing a 2008
That’s a lie. He weighs a lot more than that.
There’s apparently a Clinton Curse. All the “family values” foamers and fascists who were screaming the loudest that he had to go seem have been caught doing the same thing and worse.
Karma is a bitch.
What has happened to my Wonkette? No rabbit bestiality pix, please, Sarah.
I guess everyone has forgotten about Helen Chenoweth. (I know I have.) It was said of her that she proved it was possible to fuck one’s brains out.
“COCKTOBER” doesn’t have the same funniness as a meme now that the GOP scandals have reverted to the boring old pecadillos with adult women who actually consent. And not in public bathrooms. And no IM’s about “jackin’ it” and spilling one’s seed on a plaster cast. Also.
Or is it just me?
The 21st century is still weak in my estimation.
Scrodd: It’s far too early in the season to declare it a loss. Patience.
Scrodd: It is only June. This is the warm up period, or foreplay.
as nobody can seem to think of any women politicians who sleep around.
I’ve been trying, but Dianne Feinstein keeps popping into my head. (not the “sleep around” part, but the “woman politician”) And then I think of never having sex ever again.
I need a Viagra IV.
This is all very well and good. But if the MSM really wants to rehabilitate its reputation, they need to come up with no less than one picture of Lolita from Argentina by noon today….eastern time….preferably posing with a salad under a palm tree
Let’s just set up a cap-and-trade for affairs. $50K per affair; $50K additional hypocrisy charge if you’ve politically condemned the form of relationship discovered. Santorum’s tab for a man-on-dog affair would have been $100K, for example. Maybe add a $10K kicker for unclassifiable kink (The Vitter Diaper Dispensation, let’s call it).
To encourage open disclosure, politicans can buy a license to fuck whoever-whatever-whenever for only $25K, if purchased prior to an election.
Boojum: I forgot that it’s the warm months when the closeted no-gay-marriage crusaders go seeking anonymous toilet goblin antics, tall reeds at the “cruisey park,” and outdoor glory holes.
And let’s not forget summer is a great time to take the pages down to the Anacostia flats.
I think extramarital affairs are as frequent among the commoners as they are among our ruling elite, but your local city bus driver doesn’t feel the need to publicly announce that he’s been schtupping his wife’s sister and cry like a little bitch. It’s because they’re god-fearing, values-having elected officials that they have to maintain this image of perfection, which is difficult since all politicians are filthy narcissists. But truly, the affairs of politicians just seem more frequent because affairs in that sector are announced in all the newspapers. If you watch Maury Povich you know that everyone’s sleeping around.
You are NOT the father. Also.
It’s because the women politicians are sooooooo kinky that their paramours are shocked into mortified silence.
Mamie Eisenhaur buttsexed the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff 1953-55.
NoWireHangers: Sad, but true. Everybody is fucking everybody. It is the way of the world.
blader: I concur, though I am still holding out hope that “Lolita” has a cock tucked up under those sexy panties.
NoWireHangers: Widepread infidelity is not even a recent phenomenon, as anyone familiar with, say, The Canterbury Tales knows. . .
This is also another reason why the Conservative insistence on a return to “Traditional Values” is a crock o’ poo. There never was any Golden Age of stable, functional American families, outside of television.
Wait a minute–Mark Sanford had an affair with John Ensign?
Is that what happened?
“It’s a sad day for feminism…”
We need that Stormy Daniels to get elected. That would even things out a whole lot.
I’ll have an affair, but I simply refuse to travel to do it. I mean, a person has to have SOME standards.
lizard scum:
I believe the picture is from one of the infamous Wonkette commenter Naked Bunny with a Whip’s many dates.
FWIW, Gov. Patterson’s wife and Gov. McGreevey’s wife, (the smokin’ hot) Dina Matos McGreevey, both confessed to various forms of wickedness.
“Sad but true”? Why sad? Sounds like everyone is getting some, just say’n.
liquiddaddy: I heard that Bess Truman was a regular cum-dumpster also.
Mahousu: Regarding her death, as Dethklok lead singer Nathan Explosion would say, that’s pretty metal.
Mahousu: Glad you got that one. She fucked all the way to Congress with no tears or apologies to anyone. She put the ho in Idaho! Remember when she wanted to be called congressman?
drewonline:
Women cheat less than men? That would mean that most extra-marital affairs are between men then?
ph7: Or erection.
‘nobody can seem to think of any women politicians who sleep around.’
Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster.
Do deranged wingnut fantasies count?
Pelosi’s still pretty hot, if you define “hot” as the female version of The Joker.
MOG: Having been on the receiving end of a cheater’s lies and hurtful words/actions, I can tell you it sucks much monkey ass.
Women politicians probably are more careful because the stakes are higher. If a guy screws around, it’s like eh, a little unpleasantness but really just another guy screwing around (unless it’s with a tranny hooker or whatevs). If a woman screws around she is an evil bitch whore who should probably be stoned to death, the end.
I spent all yesterday talking about how Mark Sanford must have teh gheys b/c he showed up alone at a Britney Spears concert. Imagine my embarrassment late last night when I finally realized that it was Eric Cantor who’s the Britney fan. Sanford, Cantor, yeah whatever.
My sincere apologies to teh Wonketz for my addledness, I know I’ve let you all down. Now I’m going down to Argentina to cry about it for a few days.
On the bright side, there’s still another closeted Repubtard shoe to drop …
Folks at MSLSD have way too much time on their hands.
nappyduggs: Me too. See, once upon a time there was an unwritten rule among serious reporters that the sexcapades of our First Lady’s were to stay out of print. So, Pat Nixon’s regular threesomes with Lionel Hampton and Sammy Davis, Jr., and Nancy Reagan’s ability (sans gag reflex) to unhinge her jaws and gobble down Frank Sinatra’s entire tenor sax section went unreported. Maybe some discretion from our modern media in these current circumstances is warranted.
Rs still are blanking Ds on the score of women calling 911 from their closets after being choked senseless during a “back rub.” Aggravated sexual assault slash attempted rape has got to give bonus points to that side. And I think that settles the competition.
Hilary Clinton totally fucked herself a number of times during last year’s primary. Does that count as cheating on one’s spouse?
It’s a sad day for feminism, as nobody can seem to think of any women politicians who sleep around.
Point of Information: The slipaway dalliance was pioneered by famous hypochristian Aimee Semple McPherson, who thought nobody would notice the most famous pastor in America going out to pasture for a couple of weeks. She provided a kidnap alibi, complete with walkthroughs, and never owned up. That’s the way it was done back then, before incriminating e-mails.
lizard scum: I think that bestiality is all rabbits CAN do, being beasts and all.
It is not the foolin’ around that gets the male politician in trouble, it’s the hypocrisy. You can’t be preaching family values and be shoving your cock into other people’s parts. You can’t preach about the need to “defend the institution of marriage” when you put your cock in your mistress’ twat. If a politician and his penis are married, and the politician puts his penis in other people’s parts, then the politician’s marriage is not defensible. The marriage is a farce. People are sick of fake, hypocritical politicians who preach what they clearly don’t practice.
Please note: Not one Socilaist-Anarchist in the group. There’s a message there.
Coincidentally, I’ve been contemptuously referring to Republican politicians as “chicken fuckers” for quite a while, so good picture choice SKS.
Sanford has been very intelligent about some issues, like climate change. And now he’s banging some Argentinian hottie. Fox News is right: dude must be a closet Democrat.
PrairiePossum: Before Sanford’s dalliance with an ‘exotic’ tango dancer was revealed in the press, Sanford was a featured speaker at the upcoming, annual Values Voters conference, sponsored by the Family Research Council (motto: “Fighting for the American Family”). Well, he ain’t featured no more. A nation weeps.

Helen Chenoweth
PrairiePossum: Wonkettiers & other eeeevul libruls are “sick of fake, hypocritical politicians who preach what they clearly don’t practice.” GOPers: not so much if it’s another GOPer. IOKIYAR wasn’t invented for no reason.
Like the Europeans & Aussies, I could care less about sexcapades of others, unless there’s something “off” (like Spitzer & whores, or psychologist taking advantage of patient), illegal (kids/rape) or really outrageous about it. Pols, religious leaders, whatever: go for it. Not my bidness, I figger.
Why religulous folks and GOPers feel the need to meddle in everyone’s bedroom is beyond moi. It’s up to the spouse to figure out what they wanna do aboud it. Everyone else should just STFU!
It’s only in Ozzie & Harriet world that folks don’t schtup non-spouses. It is the universal human condition.
As for women not being busted on the list: personal bias sez it’s bc they’re smart enough to keep it hidden from view… ha!
S.Luggo:
While serving in the House, Sanford voted for 3 of the 4 article of impeachment against Clinton citing moral legitimacy and the need for honesty in government.
“The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust. And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.” [Sanford on Clinton, CNN, 2/16/99]
I say Sanford should put on his hiking shoes and hit the trail.
Eleanor Roosevelt was noted for her penchant for strange.
nobody can seem to think of any women politicians who sleep around.
Sexist male that I am, I always just assumed it was because men are super-horny-horndogs from age 13 through 70 and women kind of taper off after age 40, and prefer a nice glass of wine and a foot massage over the athletic sexytime. (Exceptions to every generalization, of course!)
You don’t see many nationally known female politicians under 40, but there are plenty of horndog boys in office, age 40-70.
I am growing tired of feeling sorry for the families of political asshats who screw around on them. There are just too many of them to track these days. The Sanfords get a boost for the Father’s Day betrayal and for Jenny throwing his butt out of the house. Craig and Vitter, a little bit because of the originality of the sin factor. Ensign, who cares? Sarah’s whole family is a basket case that she keeps tossing out in public.
The Dems like Spitzer and Edwards have add to the list, and I’m just getting tired of it all.
The central difference is the moral values issue. The GOP screwer-arounders talk the bombastic hellfire and damnation talk but don’t walk the walk. That renders the party’s whole “family first” and “personal responsibility” and “defense of marriage” talk absolutely meaningless and intellectually insulting. And without that drumbeat of morality, they got nothing.
sad… nobody bangs farm animals anymore
Min: Vibrators.
TeddyS: Yeah but jenny said she loved him and would forgive him yesterday- after she made him leave to get his act together- and he went to screw his honey again -so no sorry for me there.
I don’t care if he is a horndog , has 10 girlfriends and cheats every day butI’m sick of these HTT family/christian values spouters berating everyone else while they are doing the nasty. And people buy this- it just proves how dumb so many GOp voters are.
Know what would be cool? If Jennifer Granholm was on that list.Just sayin.
Kay Bailey got her start as a blow-dried TV talking airhead. She definitely knows how to get her freak on.
bitchincamaro: Win. From now on I vote only for prostitutes, lap-dancers strippers. So when she gets caught screwing around, it’s … well, duh. Anyway, they would more fun and a lot easier to look at. Air Force Annie for Senate!
Lascauxcaveman: Both Ensign and Sanford had affairs with women in their 40s. It’s almost like Hopey’s got the PUMAs taking down his 2012 rivals one by one…
They left Joe Scarborough off the list. I wonder why.
