Strom Thurmond (R-SC): who, at 22, fathered an illegitimate child after taking advantage of an under-aged domestic worker in his home. The mother of that child was African-American and Thurmond built long political career out of fanning the flames of racism and hatred towards African-Americans. Absolutely disgusting. The man ought to have been slapped in the face, and slapped hard, IMO. ---

Bob Packwood is the best of all. I’m old enough to remember when he was all over the news. His name might even be better than Anthony Weiner’s. ---

The mother of that child was African-American and Thurmond built long political career out of fanning the flames of racism and hatred towards African-Americans. Absolutely disgusting. The man ought to have been slapped in the face, and slapped hard, IMO. But at least he (or his family) paid money to support that child. I don’t know if it was child support or hush money, but that’s better than a whole lot of deadbeat dads. ---

> [@ITR\_champion](#): > > Public sex is a crime. In fact, Jack Ryan’s career was ended because he merely tried to do it. There’s a teeny difference, though, between a willing and happy couple boinking on the steps at night where maybe they might get spotted but probably not, and a guy dragging his wife into S&M clubs around the world and trying to get her to have sex with him (and maybe others) in front of lots of people.
