Sex scandals seem to plague both Democrats and Republicans through tweets, text messages and, in Larry Craig's case, games of bathroom stall footsie. Rep. Anthony Weiner's recent admission of lying about tweeting out some embarrassing photos has landed him in the political sex scandal hall of fame. But let's not forget some other uncomfortable moments of politicians backpedaling their way to the truth. Wouldn't it be easier to admit it off the bat?
When your name is Weiner... - You'd think that having a name like his would be motivation enough to stay out of trouble, especially the kind where you expose your...well, you know.

Madam." Here's the confession of one of her more well-known clients, Sen. David Vitter.

"I did not have sexual relations..." - It's the first phrase that comes to mind when you hear the words "political sex scandal." Who can forget when former President Bill Clinton denies and then admits his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

For all you goobers who continually bang the "Americans are such prudes about you-know-what" drum, it's not about Weiner/Clinton/Spitzer/Craig/whoever doing stupid things with their junk, it's about THE LYING. REPEATEDLY. SOMETIMES UNDER OATH. Just so they won't get in trouble at home. What are they, twelve?!
Here's a tip for real grown-ups: when you get caught doing soemthing stupid, confess immediately, and apologize for your lapse in judgement. Then there's NO STORY.
"What are they twelve?" LOL!
Do we need to laugh?
Ugh. He's got to go (period) There should be no question about it. This lying is sick behavior. Ugh.
Bill Clinton is probably still in the doghouse over that affair. Oh, and women do cheat; they just are better at not getting caught than men are (evidently).
It is disgusting the amouint of coverage on the Weiner Saga
CNN has devoted on every news report
Last night. Situation Room.John King USA,Arena, Piers Morgan,and Anderson Cooper 360
There are more important news to report.
Have you become a scandal monger station
TOTALLY AGREE WITH PANTSONFIRE
"I did not have...." LOL! Still laughing!
The only reason we know about this is besause he's a public figure. The whole world is tweeting, texting, s% -ting, see-mailing, why do we want to hold out on our hard working politicos? Why is this thing OK for us, but not them?? Are we still so friggin' puritanical & hypocritical? The only person he has to appologize & answer to is his wife & he'll be in the dog house a long time for this! @Joey Isotta-Frescatto (or something similar)doesn't it blow that CNN can spell all these forbidden words, but we can't! Are they more adult than us? I think it's the opposite with the power to cut our posts! Really Silly!!
Another DC Scandal!..
