Don't Cry For Me, Argentina

I asked my boy, a high-school freshmen, in the wake of Mark Sanford's field trip to Argentina if Governor Sanford was a Republican or a Democrat. Without a moment of hesitation, he said Republican. Spitzer, Edwards, and of course Clinton had their sexual misconduct, but the Republicans seem time and again to be the ones with the fidelity to their vows issue. Newt Gingrich, Larry Craig, David Vitter and John Ensign are but only a few of the Republicans who not only castigated others for their sins of the flesh but have sometimes orchestrated their political assasination.

Karma will also get you in the end.

So why is it that Republicans tend to be the sex vandals and wife cheaters?

Maybe Republicans are sexually wayward . . .

1. Because they marry young, and, as they years go by, their regrets lead them into other arms.

2. Because they don't know any better.

3. Because they stoke up on a haze of Viagara and alcohol.

4. Because they don't care what they do, so long as they believe the right things.

5. Because they are bored with the silliness and sameness of their sad existence.

6. Because their stpford Republican trophy wives drive them bats.

7. Because their slacker Republican kids aren't worth the trouble.

8. Because their church likes tales of redemption-- the more sordid the better.

9. Because they don't care how life is conceived, only that it is conceived.

10. Because they usually can get away with it.
