No, it's not about lying...it's about sex, it's always about sex.

Last week simply when the pictures surfaced or were alluded to, the media went ape-shit because it was about sex. Now they say the lying is the problem. No it was lying about sex...sex brought this issue to the forefront, and sex always does because the collective media has tiny little minds and cannot comprehend complex issues, so they always jump when there's something about sex.

Oh, and we're still in Libya and Afghanistan. And Iraq.

1. Sex and money. Of course, money is used to obtain sex, one way or another.

2. Sex sells a lot of adveritising for the media. Froth vs substance.

3. For me, and hopefully for DU generally, it's about lying.

The MSM can stew in their sexual juices all they want; but the big issue is the lying.

8. Which of your political heroes has never lied?

I'm also assuming that you, also, have never told a lie?

4. it's about egocentric politicians who don't think....sad and pathetic really

5. Yes, if it were truly about lying....

We would be prosecuting Bushco and allies for Iraq, Enron, the budget effects of MediCare Part D, the tax cuts, ad nauseum.

Sex makes everyone pay attention because even stupid people can understand it. But tangled political and economic stories? Try getting the average American to even stay awake for that stuff.

6. Don't forget about the stupid...

So is it the sex or the lying or the incredibly poor decision making?

7. Indeed. If it was about lying than we would be talking about Clarence Thomas
