Where the FUNNY CHICKS are at.
Cheating Politicians: A Couple of Questions
The list of animals that mate for life (to name a few of many) includes: gibbon apes, wolves, termites, coyotes, barn owls, beavers, bald eagles, condors, swans, cranes, pigeons, red-tailed hawks, angelfish, ospreys, geese, whales, penguins and black vultures.
Notice that male politicians are not on this list.
As you have surely heard by now, yet another politician has been found to be cheating on his wife. This time, it’s Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina. Sanford recently left his home state, wife and four boys and went to Argentina for seven days to be with his long-time mistress. Told everyone he’d be “hiking along the Appalachian trail.” (Is that what kids are calling it these days?) Sandford had dismissed security detail before his “hiking trip.” None of his staff knew where he was or how to contact him. He’s admitted that he’s been involved with his mistress for at least a year, and we’ve learned he took a state-fundedbooty call trip to Argentina last year. He says it was all legit South Carolina business he was conducting in South America at that time. This brings us to…
Question 1: Do you think politicians have to go to tailors to have pants specially made large enough to accommodate their HUMONGOUS cajones?
There was a bit of a panic when no one could find Mark Sanford during his latest trip to South America. I would have suggested putting out an APB for a guy with an enormous head stuck up his a$$ right between two GINORMOUS testicles. (I mean tell me Sanford's not sporting a citation set! He was even among the most vocal in calling for Bill Clinton’s resignation after Clinton’s infidelity!)
Whenever one of these politician-cheating-on-his-wife scandals breaks, debates about whether marital fidelity matters when it comes to a politician’s job performance follow. That brings us to…
Question 2: Do you think it matters if a politician cheats on his wife? (I say wife, because while there may be some unfaithful female politicians out there, I have yet to hear about it.)
I say it definitely matters and the case of Mark Sanford should lay to rest any questions about your political fitness when you’re a cheater. If you, as my state’s governor/country’s president/state’s representative, etc. can’t keep a promise to the people you love the most (your wife and children) then why should I believe you’ll keep any made to me as a citizen or constituent? If you as a governor/elected official are so led by your hormones that you’ll run off to South America (or wherever) without security detail and without telling your staff how to find you, you are not acting responsibly. If you are so led by your libido that you are leaving a trail of love notes broadcasting your steamy affair, then you are as dumb as you are skanky. You do not possess the common sense, honor, responsibility and judgment to hold high office and routinely make decisions that will directly affect others' lives.
Of course, not all politicians cheat, but it seems plenty do. In the future, I think before any of us use the words “wolf,” “ape” or “vulture” to describe someone’s bad behavior, we might want to rethink it and use the term “politician” instead. After all, a wolf, ape or vulture can at least mate for life!
