No one in American politics has sex. No one.

Think about it for a moment. The biggest scandals in politics today revolve around sex. Heck, ask Bill Clinton.

While the children of candidates are paraded around in their Sunday best for photo ops, no one voices the reason for their existence. Mom and Dad has sex.

Imagine if Obama’s wife opined “It’s true what they say about black men in bed.” It would kill his run for President. Why? Because American politicians don’t have sex.

Readers of this blog know that I like women. Andrea Harris, webmistress extraordinaire, once accused me of being a lesbian. All I know is that I am not qualified to be President because I like sex.

We have several men running for President who have been divorced. Rudy is on wife number three. Sex must be involved there somewhere. Can you imagine Judy telling a reporter “Rudy really got his freak on last night.”?

On an unspoken level, sex is forbidden. The voters have elected crooks of all types, and more than one dead politico, but they rarely elect someone who has sex. Jeri Ryan sent her husband to the political graveyard when she talked about his suggesting kinky sex. The governor of New Jersey had to resign when it was discovered he had a lover. Paul Wolfowitz is in the same predicament.

A politician can lie, cheat or steal and get elected. Like soldiers, to bend the quote from Sherman, politicians who don’t screw won’t fight.
