Recently, the Washington Post ran a story headlined "8 political sex scandals that threw the nation into a frenzy."
Longtime Post reporter Roxanne Roberts wrote that story.
Here's one politician who made Roxanne Roberts' list:
"We're all going to have to seriously question the system for selecting our national leaders that reduces the press of this nation to hunters and presidential candidates to being hunted, that has reporters in bushes, false and inaccurate stories printed, photographers peeking in our windows, swarms of helicopters hovering over our roof and my very strong wife close to tears because she can't even get in her own house at night without being harassed. And then, after all that, ponderous pundits wonder in mock seriousness why some of the best people in this country choose not to run for high office."
Who was that and how did he get on the list of 8?
Who are the other seven?
What's the history behind each of the frenzies?
And what do they all have in common?
