yavash has got it right. You see it because powerful people are newsworthy not because it is statistically more common.

I think the bigger question is why do conservatives leave power after such scandals while liberals hang around.
We'll tell the liberals that what they did was wrong, but they can still keep their elected position.

Is this Weiner guy stepping down? I don't think so.
Is Rangel still in office? Sure he is.
Is Rep. Christopher Lee still in office?
What about that William Jefferson fellow? How long did he stay in office after the FBI busted him for taking bribes?

Go ahead and bring them up!
Republican Congressman David Vitter (still in office)
- Identified as a client for a prostitution ring.
- A proponent of "asbtinence only" education saying, "Abstinence education is a public health strategy focused on risk avoidance that aims to help young people avoid exposure to harm...by teaching teenagers that saving sex until marriage and remaining faithful afterwards is the best choice for health and happiness."
Do you agree you got pimp slapped with this one? If so I'll move on to the next.

Is that the best you've got? He used a prostitute at some time in his life? From what I was able to research on this guy is that he was in a list of names that used the service, but no dates and no record of how many times.
That ranks right up there with Weiner and Jefferson.
Although I do think you are correct, he should have stepped down in disgrace. He is the exception that proves the rule. How many more Republicans have continued after public disgrace?
Where are the liberal Dems who have stepped down?

Yeah, what was I thinking?? I'm sitting here acting like a married man banging prostitutes is a real sex scandal.
" From what I was able to research on this guy is that he was in a list of names that used the service, but no dates and no record of how many times."
Well then there's the part where he even admitted wrongdoing, but that's just a small side note, right?
"That ranks right up there with Weiner and Jefferson."
Yeah, banging hookers ranks WAAAAAAAY up there with explicit internet interaction.
"Where are the liberal Dems who have stepped down?"
What, you're already done with Republicans not stepping down? I was just getting started! John Edwards.
