Escaping Presidential Sex Tapes
Things could be worse. If the millions who wanted John Edwards as President in the past decade had had their way, the nation would now be involved in a scandal to make Bill Clinton look like Mr. Monogamy.
The prospect of an X-rated video starring a Commander-in-Chief surfaces in the current court battle over possession of tapes showing Edwards in carnal congress with Rielle Hunter, who bore his illegitimate child.
As legal maneuvering over possession goes on in North Carolina, if history is any guide, they will eventually end up on YouTube, alongside the “I Feel Pretty” video about Edwards’ $400 haircuts.
What was he thinking? The candidate who made honesty his campaign hallmark was not only cheating on a cancer-stricken wife he exploited politically but letting his videographer lover record their acrobatics.
If he were in the White House today, President Edwards would be no doubt be telling us that, just like his vote for the Iraq war in 2002, the mistake of falling in love only proves he is fallible and asking forgiveness even as Congress researches whether being a moral moron is grounds for impeachment.

How do you know there were acrobatics? On second thought, don't answer that question.
I must be a terrible person, because when I read this article, my first thought was to put together a mental list of all the current prominent politicians who the average person might like to see in a sex tape.

“Moral Moron”…..sounds gay.

Why buy a tape, you can see most of them engaged in prostitution daily on C-Span.
Yeah and some are quite artistic about how they stick it to us.
[...] To think he was in the running. [...]
I nominate Leonidas for zing of the day.
On the other hand, we'd certainly see a lot of turn over in our public officials were we to require them to perform their jobs in the buff…
I think a bunch of fat, old people in the buff would pretty much kill all C-SPAN coverage.
Yes, until the new generation of 20 yo hotties get elected to Congress. After that, we could set it up as a pay-per-view source of federal revenue, and we'll likely end up with no stupider a legislative branch. It would certainly get the 20-something male demographic interested in politics.
Oooooo… mud wrestling instead of mud slinging. And it would probably raise the level of debate. Heck, that would even put more women in congress.
