My platform for any elected office

I hereby solemnly swear to the great reader(s) of this blog that if I am ever elected to any public office, the only vagina my penis is going to come in contact with is that of my future wife.

That said, we've got another political sex scandal on our hands, this time courtesy of Detroit.

A Wayne County prosecutor said Monday she will seek felony charges against Detroit's embattled Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

Kilpatrick, who is married, has been snarled in a well-publicized sex scandal since January after The Detroit Free Press reported he exchanged romantic text messages with his then-chief of staff, Christine Beatty.

The Detroit Free Press reported in January that in an analysis of nearly 14,000 text messages on Beatty's city-issued pager, it found some from 2002 and 2003 that indicated the two were having a romantic affair.

The newspaper report contradicted testimony Kilpatrick gave last August in a court case brought by police officers against the mayor and the city of Detroit alleging the mayor retaliated against the officers for their role in investigating his office. Critics alleged that Kilpatrick committed perjury in the case and called for his resignation.

In testimony during that case, Kilpatrick and Beatty both denied having a romantic relationship.

Will this ever end? I mean I knew politics and sex scandals go hand-in-hand, but this is starting to get ridiculous. Based on the little article about the charges against Kilpatrick, this sounds a lot like what happened to Clinton. Maybe Kilpatrick needs to work on biting his bottom lip a little harder so he looks marginally more sincere next time he lies to his constituents.
