"The Daily Beast looks at 58 scandals over the past 20 years involving politicians and concludes Republicans have more scandals (32 to 26), but Democrats have bigger ones, based on their methodology (13 out of the top 20).

Democrats tend to have more problems with harassment, staffers and underage girls while Republicans tend to have more problems with prostitutes, hypocrisy and underage boys".


The John Ensign scandal should be in the top 3, there is SO much in his scandal (affair, parents paying hush money to mistress, ethics violations, finding job for son of mistress, etc.)...

2. Methodology is crap

Foley's was rated way down there an you can't tell me that his is not one of the creepiest. Way worse than a ton of them.

4. The GOP spends all it's time regulating morality and sex, while doing none of it themselves.

In addition, the GOP doesn't want any woman to have an abortion, except for when one of their daughters is knocked up by a scary minority dude. Then it's OK.

5. It's more heinous than the numbers. The republicans campaign and fundraise

based on fevered adherence to "traditional values" and demonization of those who don't belong to their club.

6. Do republican sex scandals come in 3's like celebrity deaths do?

I seem to think so - first we had Eric Massa's gay sex sting, now we have Michael Steel's strip club binge. Who's next? :popcorn:

7. Republicons definitely the LEADERS when it comes to Diaper Sex with Hookers

No other political party has Family Values that even begin to approach that, um, standard.

8. To imagine that these are the same people that blew a gasket after seeing Janet Jackson's nipple for

all of 3 seconds during the Super Bowl halftime 6 years ago.

"OMG!!!1111!!! It's gonna corrupt our youth!!111!!!!!!"

9. So does having more scandals on their side make our side better?

Cause from where I'm sitting having any scandal at all is bad.
