A vegetarian with a taste for stuffed pigeon and assorted wild game. And he certainly did have several side gigs with the ladies--but none could be considered "affairs" since he didn't marry Eva until 40 hours before the end.

Salma Hayek: Weinstein Threatened to Kill Me, Forced Me to Shoot a Full-Frontal Scene
Bullitt County Coroner Dave Billings said the Republican state representative — and self-proclaimed “Pope” of his Louisville church — most likely killed himself Wednesday. His body was found near a bridge on Greenwell Ford Road in Mount Washington, in a spot called the River Bottoms. He had a single gunshot wound to his head.

Matt Lauer’s office sexcapades known to media elites, who roared with laughter over lewd jokes at 2008 ‘roast’
The 2008 Friars Club roast took place at the New York Hilton and was attended by everyone from future President Donald Trump to TV legend Norman Lear to a constellation of New York’s media elite including Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Nancy O’Dell and Howard Stern. Also on hand were numerous top executives from across the business and almost everyone who was anyone at NBC News. Fox News has confirmed many details of the roast with a media executive who attended, and has also drawn on the one contemporaneous account of the roast, which appeared in The Village Voice.

In many ways, losing Franken was a blow to democrats. Still, since Minnesota has a Democratic Governor, his replacement will be a Democrat, making him somewhat expendable.
It will be interesting to see what the Democratic Party will do when a democratic senator or representative from a state with a Republican Governor faces similar allegations.

I had not heard about the Ralph Shortey thing. Pig.
Why does it seem that a fairly high percentage of politicians have this predilection for purchasing young people(not young adults, young as in teenaged) for sex?
I wonder how that percentage stands up against populations as a whole. Because......well, yeah.

It's when your ridiculous exaggerations cross over to being outright lies, that you lose all credibility, even for your new pseudonym.

I can guess two reasons:
1. When a politician does it, another politician or special interest helps it get publicized (whereas non-famous pursuers of underage people languish in prisons and Megan's law databases but might not get articles about them).
2. People who hold public office (or those in very senior executive positions) are often people who are drawn to power, and relish the opportunity to exercise that power or experience others acknowledging their power. Having paid for a young and impressionable/manipulable person to do things they wouldn't otherwise do would be a big stimulus of experiencing power, a sort of drug for those addicted to it.

I take a less analytical approach. It's because they are sleazeballs. Politics is proof that scum floats.

regarding Al Franken - he remains resigned from the Senate and the governor of MN has named his replacement, he has said nothing about "unresigning"

Any one of you, out there, RIGHT NOW, who hasn't grabbed a butt. . . or a face. . . or the back of a neck. . . stand up and be counted!
...Of someone who would not expect that sort of a move from me? Of someone who is not intimate with me? Never once.
I stand at attention. Count me. And I'm sure I'm not alone by a long shot.
