>> BTW, where's the rule that consensual adult heterosex disqualifies you from high office? Did anyone tell Newt?<< I believe the electorate told him loud and clear. You notice he's no longer Speaker - or in Congress? Fair - although that was after he'd strutted his hypocritical stuff. But I don't buy the argument that pols should be judged on their sexual behaviour (although how hey behave when discussing it is interesting...). There's a specific problem for most Presidents, too, at least these days. In the TV and sound-bite age especially, photogenic looks, charisma, charm, the ability to appeal, ambition, drive... all the characteristics that would be common in successful womanisers, and likely to go along with a high sex drive... Of course, every now and then you'll get a reaction back from that extreme. After the meat serving comes the vegetable <gg>
