Meh. Considering in the grand scheme of things, this is nothing when compared to Senator David Vitter (R., LA) frequenting the DC madam...and that involved illegal activity. It generally takes a sociopathic personality to run for public office, hence the bad behavior, but Democrats and Republicans have a pretty equal share of idiots. As for eating their own, it all depends on the climate at the time and the constituency of that particular idiot. Vitter has no viable competitor so despite campaigning heavily on "family values," he essentially got away with THE most tawdry sex scandal of this century.
