The joys of political sex

[Louisiana1976]

It’s time for political sex scandals to reclaim their rightful place in our national discourse. The way things have been going lately, you’d think extramarital sex only happened to professional athletes.

Consider the case of Senator Max Baucus of Montana. We learned last week that the recently divorced Baucus had nominated his girlfriend, Melodee Hanes, to be a U.S. attorney without warning the White House that they were an item. You would expect this to create quite a buzz. Particularly since Baucus is a major player in the health care debate, which makes it possible to talk about his sex life while pretending to be discussing the prospects for a public option.

But, no, it’s been Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods. How much can you say about a guy who golfs?
