Such as Nevada senator John Ensign; well, I'm with Matt Taibbi.
[pic of the Senator with Miss Nevada USA for 2006, Tiffany, from 2006 Nevada Queens]
He had an affair with a campaign aide, not Tiffany, but as Taibbi said:
I am going to really enjoy the inevitable media fragging Senator John
Ensign is going to take because of his holier-than-thou attitude during
the Lewinsky scandal, when he called on Clinton to resign for having an
affair. What’s especially delicious about this is that Ensign back then
and during the Larry Craig scandal played the “Because of these bad
apples, even God-fearing, recreational-sex-disdaining politicians like
me are now going to be called sexual deviants” card. He’s sold that
angle hard on a number of occasions (”There’s too many people that
paint with a broad brush that we’re all corrupt, all amoral,” he once
said). He said a lot of stuff, and it’s all going to be dragged back
out now and shoved in his defeated, suddenly elderly face.

Or as my old pal Jack Vacek used to say: "These Republicans, they like to pretend they don't have dicks."
Okay, time to draw the curtains…yours truly is off to Big Sur for an anniversary with the missus. Back Monday. See you then (virtually)…
