Bill O'Reilly's latest sex scandals have rounded out the sexual-assaulter Republican trifecta of Donald Trump, Roger Ailes, and Bill O'Reilly.
And the Republican governor of Alabama resigned today due to (using illegal measures to cover up) a sex scandal.
Amusingly there is a wikipedia list of federal political sex scandals in the US. Since 2000, there have been 12 Republican scandals and 6 Democrat ones. In the 90s there were 11 Republican scandals and 6 Democrat ones.
Seriously what is it with Republicans and sex scandals? Is there something in the water that makes Republicans particularly prone to adultery? Does all the "family values" talk set them off? Or is it that evangelical Christians are more prone it to due to the sexually repressive teachings being the equivalent of "don't think of an elephant" and all they can do all day is think about the potential affair and what a big temptation it is for them?
In the case of Trump, Ailes and O'Reilly, I think it's just that they are really stupid people and don't understand the correct social behaviors when it comes to hitting on women appropriately. Somebody needs to sit them down and have a version of 'the talk' with them, but where it is explained what it is appropriate versus inappropriate to do when flirting with a woman.
