Agreed, Pop, but that wouldn't solve anything. In this country people need to learn to be comfortable who they are and as a species we have a need to express ourselves, our true selves, in some manner. The more repressed our true selves are the more it will fight to express itself. This ultra conservative senator has been repressing an aspect of himself for so long that it needed to be expressed like this. It was a driven and unbeatable urge of his Id.
The same thing happen to that conservative Christian televangelist/preacher a while back. In the US we are so threatened by our own sexuality it is just sad. In many ways the Euros are more culturally advanced than us in this regard. For example if it was a French president who had an affair with an intern and lied about it no one would think twice, but if a US President does this we get an impeachment trial.
