Money and power are tools of sexual success. That is what men want.
The power of office or the awe felt when in the company of a military officer is overwhelming for some women. Whether it is the prime minister of a government, president of the United States, a senator, a governor, or a general the excitement seems utterly exhilarating.
Many of those men know this fact and have taken advantage of their positions. Thus in just the past few days it was announced that former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife was divorcing. We all wondered why? Today the Los Angeles Times revealed in a front page story that Mr. Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with a house maid.
Not to be out done IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was jailed on Monday of this week on an attempted rape charge. This man was a possible president next president of France.
Other names recently in the news include
-former senator John Ensign who has battled ethics problems stemming from an extramarital affair with a former staffers wife,
-former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich who has had three wives (3rd wife, Callista Bisek, was dating and basically living with him while he was proclaiming family values and bitterly criticized the President for his adultery) and is now running for president as a decent Christian with conservative values.
Look back in America’s history and you will find other famous names including General and former President Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, pastor Ted Haggard, and of course Bill Clinton.
America has no concession on illicit sexual activity. Google “Berlusconi” and “prostitute” and you get a million-and-a-half links. Vladimir Putin may also been fooling around to prove his virility.
There is nothing new here. My opinion is all the talk about values and beliefs are worthless. Actions not words are what counts.
