No one knows if Assemblyman Mike Duvall (California, R) actually had sex with the women, or was just trying to impress his friend with sexual exploits. He did claim there was spanking involved. Unfortunately, there waa an open mic near him when he spoke, and so everything he said was recorded for everyone to hear. And a conversation about your possible love affair (or fantasy) is apparently enough to get labeled immoral and unprofessional... if you're a politician.
Assemblyman Mike Duvall resigned in disgrace after he talked about having sex with a woman
Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the spotlight recently about his sexual misconduct, but he has already left the Governor's mansion, and it's unclear how his "love child" will affect his future.
But unlike John Edwards or Anthony Wiener, also in the news for an illicit love affair and a Twitter photo of his private parts, respectively, Mike Duvall (R, CA) stepped down within 24 hours after his conversation was made public. His career ended because of his bragging! Are voters really that unforgiving and rigid? Or are they just jealous that politicians appear to have juicy love lives while they don't?
Maybe the trick is to be President: Presidents Clinton and Kennedy had sexual liaisons that didn't affect their popularity, and they follow a long line of philanderers and players in the White House.
Certainly politicians are condemned more than any other profession for their sex lives.So if you work in politics and you have sex, any sex, STOP. Right this minute. Your constituents don't want to hear about it. Because they don't want to think that you get lucky, when they don't.
