The 2007 GOP Adulterers Hall of Fame Nominees...

Posted by GottaLaff , Cliff Schecter's Blog at 8:04 AM on December 30, 2007.

It's not the sex, it's the hypocrisy.




What better way to celebrate New Years than to give you Pensito Review's:

2007 GOP Adulterers Hall of Fame Nominees {minus one}


* Ronald Reagan: Lived like a Hollywood playboy during his first marriage
* Richard Mellon Scaife: Rightwing billionaire caught by his wife in LTR with a former hooker

Requirements for Nomination

It's not the sex, it's the hypocrisy.

To qualify as a nominee to Pensito Review's GOP Adulterers Hall of Fame, a person must be a conservative politician or opinion leaders who promotes so-called family values -- and especially the sanctity of marriage -- but who has also had sex outside his or her marriage, or had sex with someone who was married to someone else at the time.

And as a special bonus, The 2006 Top 10 GOP Adulterers list included:


George H.W. Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sen. John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr, Henry Hyde and Gary Bauer.

Being the fair and balanced blogger that I am, I didn't want to exclude last year's contenders.

1. Mark Foley starred in '06.
Don't hear much about how the GOP's favorite child toucher also headed the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children Caucus.
