The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Three consecutive Republican sex scandals, none of which contained any information on actual sex, resulting in three resignations.

Republicans don't even having exciting sex scandals. Democrats at least actually get some and then ride out the storm (generally successfully, has any other than Gary Hart really fallen to one in the last 30 years?) keeping the story alive for many extra news cycles.

Say what you will about the hypocrisy of the Republican perpetrators, they do seem to suffer the consequences when that hypocrisy is revealed.

Even more boring since two of the sexless sex scandals involved things that shouldn't be problematic anyway (calling prostitutes and subtly signaling an interest in bathroom sex).
