I may be stating the obvious and indelicate here, but why the moral crusade against philandering politicians--Clinton, Guiliani, Charlie Wilson, hell even Larry in the bathroom stall--when we all know that the qualities of smarm and charm that gets things done also gets the ladies (and perhaps gentlemen). Now, I am far from being an antifeminist by acknowledging this fact of life. In fact, I am sure the same rule applies to women in politics as well, heretofore unnoticed because:
1) women haven't been involved in American national politics very long
2) women don't get caught.
I am not condoning adultery either, but can we not accept some level of moral ambiguity along with its necessary counterpart, intelligent thinking?
