The day has come where people smart enough to get elected or appointed to public office need survival tips for remaining in office due to sexual improprieties. Never mind the MORAL virtue we might hope people who have been entrusted to impact our welfare through legislative, judiciary and executive functions should have. Forget all of that. Politicians are people too. They are human and real too. There is still a fragment of good old countrypersons who just don’t want to know that our trusted officers brains are responsive to their private parts, as opposed to the hope that their private parts are responsive to their brains. We expect that of pervs (short for perverts), pedophiles, sexual criminals, porn producers and stars, sex traffickers, and those committed to providing stellar sexual service to the underbelly of society: escorts, strippers, prostitutes, high-class hookers, and whores.
Yes, sexual freedom is part of the American fabric which distinguishes us from other nations. Needless to say, that is why infidelity is such a hum drum concept nowadays. Who cares? There is plenty of room on Craig’s list and wait a minute, even websites dedicated to placing wandering spouses with a good hookup or fling. Love, honesty, honor, integrity, loyalty and preserving our health are notions best encapsulated when reading a good heroic novel or when perusing century-old family albums. The world has and is still changing and people who subscribe to some sort of moral excellence are too judgmental, played out and blah.
In the context of present times, a grown-behind married man separated from his wife shouldn’t have any problems having consensual sex with a young woman who just turned 18; At least, that’s the story to which the first Chinese-American elected to the House, Representative David Wu is sticking. The fact that the young girl claims it was not consensual may not play out in the future. Apparently, the young lady knows it will be his word against hers. Well, I guess Rep. Wu will just sit on the icky bench and join some of his former colleagues now co-louses, Chris Lee, John EnSign and Anthony Weiner. Since these men don’t seem to have enough good sense to know how to be a public servant while safely unzipping the pants at the same time, here’s some discretionary advice:
1. Remember you’re a public servant and what you do in the privacy of your own home or behind some bushes in a park can make or break your entire political career. There aren’t that many former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry’s. Not too many of you can be a straight-up crack addict, curse
