Out of all the sex scandals in Washington, who had the lowest standards?

Question

I realize this will make the Republicans beat a path to my door to say thank you but, I'm curious about what other people think. Out of all of history, who had the worst taste in promiscuous behavior?

My money is on Mark Foley.

Answer 1

Honestly the most heinous sex crime didn't happen in Washington (and neither did Larry Craig's "crime").

John David R. Atchison, a Republican prosecutor in Florida, was arrested while flying to meet who he thought was a woman he had talked to online, who had agreed to let him have sex with her 5 year old daughter. He was ACTUALLY conversing with an undercover police officer online.

He was quoted in the online transcripts as alluding to molesting dozens, possibly hundreds, of young children, as he told the officer he "never hurt the little ones" and had done this "hundreds of times".

I say "was" because this brave Republican molester, sex criminal and rapist killed himself in his jail cell. We may never find out how many young lives this monster destroyed.

Answer 2

When you say the Lowest standards?
Do you mean that they were involved in acts of a sexual nature where one party provides the other unsaid party with satisfaction. And that the party member that receives this service from the unsaid party non member that is performing the unspoken task at hand. is in some way slightly unattractive or a little on the repulsive side and one would not care to be interacting in any way, shape, or form with unsaid party if it involved the touching of any part of unsaid party that had been intimately involved in the sexual act of both parties.
I am I right?
If so the answer in GW Bush Jr

Answer 3

Within' this year I'd say Mark Foley. If you are going to talk about sex with say a 16 year old on the Internet... What is stopping him from sexually harassing a 15, or 14 year old boy?


He is one of those people we see on MSNBC, and he is no different in any way... Oh, except he is rich.

Answer 4

I, too, think it is Mark Foley. Here we have a guy who is careful enough not to actually hit on the pages until they reach the age of 18, but underhanded enough to begin carefully setting them up for it before they reach 18. Sneaky, and disgusting to boot. I have no problem with gays at all, in fact I'm all for gay marriage rights. But Foley came uncomfortably close to being a real pedophile, which has nothing to do with being gay. In my mind, he is one. Just one smart enough to pay attention to the details that could get him jailed. And one of the worst things about this is that he was frigging Chairman of some committee dedicated to rooting out pedophiles and protecting children.

Answer 5

You can tell who the Bush groupies are by looking at the people that think Clinton had lower standards then Mark Foley, a pedophile, or Larry Craig who tried to sell HJ's to men in an airport restroom. You Bush groupies are ridiculous.

Answer 6

This is not a answer to your question. More of an observation. I cannot get over how many neo's hate Bill so bad the his heterosexual relations are worse than Craig's attempted homosexual relations. Or my GOD MARK FOLEY! Is his sexual appetite somehow more acceptable? Not only would they seemingly toss aside the basic principles of their party ( guns,God and GAYS) they would gladly toss aside that kind of deviance for a political party. I hope you dint have young men and women that are reallying on you to let them know whats right and wrong. Who knows maybe one day you would just have to tell them to "take one for the team"

Answer 7

Soliciting anonymous gay sex in a public toilet is just about as filthy as you can go...come on.

I understand the "rage-factor" appeal to Mark Foley. You think of people molesting kids and it can really make you want to kill.

However, when Mr. No-men-in-wedding-dresses ends up offerring to take a shot in the mouth from a complete stranger while sitting on a public toilet? Nah man...Craig all the way...

Answer 8

In history? Wow -- that opens the field up pretty wide.

Mark Foley wins hands down for skirting the bounds of pedophilia.

However, special mention goes to Barney Frank for running a prosititution ring out of his home with is gay lover. Of course, when the whole thing came out, he pulled a Hillary and said he didn't know anything about it....but it was pretty sorted.

Answer 9

I wouldn't!

You know after a long day of debating which such a large mass of people and all dat!

Could get a bit sticky I should think

After all being the republicans most important member.

Maybe it would be best to leave him to his own dearvices

In fact best leave the hand shaking to Dick

Answer 10

I would agree with you on Mark Foley. The man presented himself as a crusader against child abuse and exploitation. Turns out he was crusading against himself. That is sick and disgusting.
