Why do politicians cheat on wives?
WASHINGTON — What is it with philandering politicians?
Why do men in power — the ones on pedestals — think they are above their constituents and can get away with cheating on their spouses, particularly these days amid intense media scrutiny and when peccadilloes are arguably more politically damaging?
It is a long list of those who thought they could jet off to Argentina, cruise on the yacht Monkey Business, check into a hotel under an assumed name or use an escort service and never get caught, never have to come clean.
The names quickly come to mind — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, Sen. John Ensign, Sen. David Vitter, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one-time Democratic presidential hopefuls John Edwards and Gary Hart, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, current New York Gov. David Paterson.
