Cain in the Neck?

So, what, is it a pre-requisite that all male politicians must now be go outside their marriages to get into, or stay in, office? You got Clinton, Schwazzeneggar, Weiner, Strauss-Kahn, and now Herman Cain. I know, if it's true, it happened years ago, right? But, look, it's affecting him now!

Here's the skinny. I don't care if you don't plan on running for President of the United States one day or not. It doesn't matter. Do the right thing! Don't hit on maids at your hotel. Don't use a cigar as a love toy with your intern. Don't father a child with your housekeeper. And, don't put your hand up the skirt of the woman you are next to if (and it's a big "if") you are married!

See, politician or not, if you are married, don't go chasing (and in some instances, catching) other women. Should these men be elected into, or stay in, office? Does it mean that they would be poor leaders? I don't know. Some would say their marriage and sexual life is separate from their political careers. Others would say if he cheated on his wife and pushed himself on another woman, who's to say he would cheat on his constituents and push himself aggressively on others in office?

Really, what it comes down to for these men, is their relationships at home. What is i about power and the need to have your sexual cake and eat it, too? Does being a politician make men this way or do men with the propensity to cheat on their spouses make good politicians? I don't know the answer to that.

But I do know that if you decide to cheat because you think t will never catch up to you in your career, you may be right, but it will absolutely catch up to you in your relationship with your partner. And, when it comes to yuor last day on earth of what will be your last thoughts: your job or your marriage?
