Where are the Sex Scandals?

[ThomWV]

I have been told and it is my understanding that most sex crimes are not the result of a lust for sex but a lust for power.

Given the power-hungry nature of the top of our Government doesn't it seem odd that we haven't seen (because we haven't been looking for it?) sex scandal after sex scandal? Considering the hundreds of power-mad men in Washington now, particularly in the highest seats of the Executive and Congressional branches but also all the hundreds of political appointments at the Agencies and Bureaus.

Look what they did to Clinton. Remember when a Congressmen dove into the Potomac to catch the attention of a prostitute? How many young Pages in the Congress might as well have spent a day with a pedophile priest? And Britain, ah Britain. Now those are people who know how to put on a sex scandal.

So, you gotta ask, given that the circumstances seem to be so right, where have the sex scandals been for the last 5 years. Their "Religion" is no defense, its a sham anyway.

1. "Power-mad" women aren't capable of participating in sex scandals?

Interesting.....................

2. Simple, their sex doesn't get reported

it's a private matter.

3. they are immune from examination and criticism

even their most heinous, incomprehensibly evil crimes are routinely defended and covered up by the corporate media

4. Take a peek under the rug.

That's where the sex scandals are. I'll give you two choices for why they aren't headline news:

1. Media complicity
2. Media is too busy reporting the myriad of other scandals with true national import to write stories about the numerous RW sex scandals which, albeit damning, pale in the face of national treason by our highest representatives.

Now, with that said, I'll get the parade of recent RW sex scandals with this:

- Gay Male Prostitute given choice role in WH Press Corp despite utter lack of credentials.

Add you own below.

5. I'd love to see Jeff Gannon do a story on this topic

6. There's a sex scandal that is missing in action

Amazing that the press just seemed uninterested in a male prostitute's frequent visits to the White House in the dead of night.

7. My guess....

...is that sex scandals (and other crimes) are the linchpin that keeps politicians in check.

The sex scandals are the underlying framework. If you step out of line--then someone who wiretapped
you reveals to the nation (and your family) that you've been spending quality time with a young
staffer.

Frist ticked the establishment off. Look at what's happening to him. His scandal always existed. It was dormant until someone pulled the trigger.

Look at what happened to Bill Clinton, less than 48 hours after he traveled to NOLA and spoke
candidly (on camera) to Katrina survivors. He made Junior look like an incompetent, uncaring moron. Out-of-the-blue two bimbos appear at the Clinton Library--wanting to protest and showcase his past sexcapades. Bill ducked and remained silent. Where are those two bimbos now? We haven't heard boo from them since. They are earmarked for publicity when Clinton steps out of line.

What I find chilling--was the behavior of a Senator. He was the best friend of Paul Wellstone--a true progressive and champion of liberal ideals. He came out and STOOD WITH the neocons on the Schiavo thing. He spoke as a proponent of their outrageous behavior, during a press conference--right along side two other conservatives who were making a mockery of American ideals. I'll never forget the look on this Senator's face. It was as if he didn't want to be there--like he was forced to stand with this circus and say something positive. They've got dirt on him, and the neocons reminded this Senator that they would use it--if he didn't grace that podium.

I wouldn't put it past these thugs to use children, prostitutes, homosexual encounters to blackmail everyone. What was Gannon's open remarks about "I remember you, Joe Biden" all about? This administration does next to nothing about human trafficking. Possibly they use children, men and women from other countries to blackmail people in high places. I'm sure there are logs of videotapes in some vault.

I know this sounds tinfoilish--but something is the glue that holds this corruption together. We practically blow a gasket when a Dem politicians speaks out against the sick, unprecedented evil that abounds in our government. There should be truckloads of politicians speaking out DAILY.

Where are they? None of this makes sense--unless you assume that the anti-neocons have been emotionally muzzled.

Just my windy 2 cents.

10. You mean like the Franklin affair?

Ok, that was Poppy's, but you know what's said about acorns or apples falling.

Oh and Gannon doesn't count?

11. I always thought

that most sex crimes were about sex, although I was also aware that many people thought differently. Still, I think they are about sex, as most sex offenders are men, and men have been known to have sex with a walrus.

In any event, I don't see that the two are mutually contradictory. They can be about both at the same time. Men acquire power because many women are attracted to it.
