In politics, there’s not much more interesting than a ruined reputation, and nothing can top that better than a classic sex scandal. It’s the kind of thing that interests everyone, whether they like to admit it or not. What’s truly interesting isn’t that so many politicians get busted for bad sexual behavior, it’s the wide gamut of stuff they get caught doing.

Within the next week or so I will be featuring a guest post by Montgomery Sibley, the author of a new book entitled " Why Just Her, the Judicial Lynching of the D.C. Madam " that looks at the legal/judicial system as it was brought to bear on Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

The latest ethics pony attempt to trample Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) comes from Senator David Vitter (R-LA). If that last name sets off a bell but you can not quite remember Mr. Vitter, let me refresh your memory.
Senator Vitter was connected with a prostitution ring two years ago and dismissed any suggestion of hypocrisy given his own refusal to resign in the wake of... Read Full Story
