I think we should have a new classification. Since these intern types are thinking "relationship", and these congressmen are thinking "easy prey" ...there should be a law against "POWER rape" in government. That is all this is. Condit never intended to leave his wife, as Chaundra thought, at least not for her; so for these thugs that just use women for their weekly punch, lets have a criminal class of rape for politicians(and maybe Mike Tyson), called POWER rape.

A. Pretty poor -- about college frat level. There remains a distinction however between behavior that ought to be scolded as inappropriate or disgraceful, and behavior that should be punished as a crime. Conservatives are usually very alive to this distinction, except when it suits them politically not to make it. There is for example a big difference between having an affair and ending it, and threatening to kill your ex-mistress if she makes a fuss. One is embarrasing, the other criminal. One does not necessarily follow from the other. The Condit case is particurlary murky because we don't know what he did. If he had anything to do with Chandra's disappearance, it's almost ludicrous to lambast him for having an affair with her -- it's an insignficant offense relative to her disappearance and probable death. If, on the other hand, he had nothing to do with it, then he's being crucified in the court of public opinion for something he didn't do. So why do you keep demanding that Democrats say something about it?
