Why Do Politicians Have Affairs?

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Politicians are eerily similar to actors and actresses in that they crave mass adulation. And they are seldom content with what they already have. I am not original in stating that politicians (rather like actors, again) are all too frequently people for whom they are the stars while their family and friends – even their children – are mere satellites.

They are not normal people.

As the great sci-fi writer Frank Herbert wrote, “It’s not that power corrupts – it’s that power attracts the corruptible.”

* What I don’t get is if you’re going destroy your marriage and your career, why not at least got for some beautiful young woman, not some 51-year old that looks like she’s been rode hard and put away wet?
