In the wake of political sex scandals including South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Nevada Sen. John Ensign, ABC's Cokie Roberts took the opportunity on June 25 to suggest that the fundamental flaw in each case was the male gender.

"World News with Charles Gibson" anchor asked question of why such affairs ever begin.

"It's an admission that can doom the most promising political career," Gibson said. "So, why do politicians tempt fate and cheat on their wives? Why do so many think they can get away it?"

I'm glad they've enlisted the enlightened one at ABC to tackle this difficult cultural issue...

This tripe coming from a female news reporter that used her sexual charms to get ahead. What a jerk.

[M203M4]

The mental giants have found the problem. The reason why two married men had affairs with two married women is because men think with their penises! Rape was involved...who knew? Thanks ABC!

[refermech]

The truth is at times we are completely out of control. And women take full advantage.

I’d say hellry’s past of adultery incl her latest with live-in gal-pal, a paid Saudi agent, shows it’s not a gender thing. Kookie is an idiot to say it is male only.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Cokie Roberts has sexual charms? What do you know that I don’t? :-)

[Carley]

As slick willie opined.

Because he could.

"So, why do politicians tempt fate and cheat on their wives? Why do so many think they can get away it?"

Duh. Because most career politicians are arrogant sociopaths and narcissists.

Cokie Roberts has sexual charms? What do you know that I don’t?

When she was a lot younger. Today is a different story.

Tell us what you know! All I know is she had political connections, her parents were legislators; and she's still on her first husband.

“Kookie is an idiot”

You could have stopped right there and been totally right.

LOL

Better question, why can Bill Clinton rape and molest women and still be highly regarded by the feminist community?

Answer: Because they are liars and hypocrites.

So what, Congress is trying to vote on cap and tax that will cost each one of us thousands of dollars per year, shutter local businesses including restaurants, and put our economy into a tailspin. Also we will be taxed additionally to pay the higher electric and heating costs (natgas, heating oil) for millions of lazy people that do not pay taxes. Heads up!

Bill Clinton had a (D) next to his name like the killer Ted Kennedy. So as long as your political affiliation is (D) femnists will adore you and you can even get away with murder.

Liberalism is a disease in need of eradication before it kills the Republic ... and kooky Roberts spittling with braindead Gibson gives us a prime example of the putrifaction in our midst. Deadsouls rot individuals from the inside out, as one can see and figuratively smell with kooky Roberts and shiftless, feckless, worthless sap Gibson.

[Kid Shelleen]

What part of the body is the mistress thinking with ?

[MHGinTN]

HINT: it is something attached to him not her, and she desires to rule over ‘it’.

[Buckeye McFrog]

...because the typical female pol who is out looking for an affair can find no takers? (since clearly Sarah is not in the market...)

[HighlyOpinionated]

Sorry guys, but I agree with Coke-E. You guys like to be adored. A female comes up who giggles at your stale jokes, tells you how handsome you are and ignores the bad breath, sweaty feet, jangling gut and the dandruff, and runs her hand in a sensuous way on your arm or better, your leg, titillating the inner thigh and you fall for it nearly EVERY time. Doesn't matter so much what she "looks" like if she can get you thinking with your "small head." And your small head says "every woman is a beauty to be taken to bed."

But what I do not comprehend is why some women have such disdain for certain men's wives that they entice those men. I want to shout at this Maria Belen: Woman, where is your self-esteem? What? You so inept that you can't relate to an unmarried man? Or do you like married men because they're "safe" and you don't want to make any long-term commitments?

There goes kookie thinking with her clit again.
