How long a shower will it take to wash the blood off our hands after Bush/Cheney/Feith/Wolfowitz et al killed thousands in two countries we had NO NEED to attack or invade? Amazing the “dirty laundry” of mud, is more “serious” than blood.
Gingrich: three wives, all ex-mistresses; Dole: two wives, first dumped without support because he was “tired of being married”; Reagan: two wives, first dumped because she got an Oscar and he couldn’t; Harding: possibly poisoned by his wife over adultery; Eisenhower: his chauffeuse; McCarthy: married his secretary/mistress; and the list goes on.
It wasn’t too long ago that the standard joke was that adultery was required to be a major Republican contender. Yes motes abound all over the spectrum, but watch out for that 2×4 sticking out of the elephant’s eye.
Less than a decade ago, professional historians claimed they were certain of only three presidents whose sexual activities were totally within marriage: two Democrats (Truman and Carter) and a Federalist (John Adams), no Republicans with certainty.
Mike Luckovitch seems a pretty fair minded guy. He usually goes after rightists, but here you see him going after a Democrat. The cartoonists on the right never go after their own party.
“That’s the key difference between Rs and Ds. This vermin Edwards, an ambulance chaser who cheated on his ill wife…-Righteeo, and newt serving his wife in the hospital with divorce papers is right up there.
There have been an embarrassing number of politicians who get caught with their pants down. Too many foolish men and then how many haven’t been caught?

Too bad that the Supreme Court gave the presidency to Bush.. He could have been the president by now . . . .

What John Ensign did was just as bad if not worse and he got to skate?

What ever happened to that Republican governor that abandoned his post and his family to gallivant with his mistress in South America?
