<p><a href="http://newsbusters.org/node/8110"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Rep. Mel Reynolds, an Illinois Democrat, was involved in a sex scandal with a teenage girl. Yeah that&#8217;s what you want out of your elected Representative.</span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,982753,00.html"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Republican Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon couldn&#8217;t keep his hands off women.</span></a>  Bad sure, but you&#8217;ll read much worse, if you don&#8217;t know it already.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/packwood.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1281" title="packwood" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/packwood.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="298" /></a></p>
<p>Senator David Vitter Louisiana Republican has always denied his connections and use of New Orleans prostitutes.  <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/16/vitter/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">However the good Senator did come clean about his number showing up on a DC madam&#8217;s phone list as well as a few other &#8220;issues&#8221; he has cleared up with his wife and our lord and savior.</span></a></p>

<p><span>We all remember Senator Larry Craig who inadvertently has made airport <span>men&#8217;s</span> bathrooms an uncomfortable place to be. Senator Craig has taken the Clinton approach of denial.  </span><a href="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2007/08/larry_craig_still_not_gay.html"><span style="color: #ff0000;">But don&#8217;t worry he&#8217;s not gay.</span></a><span style="color: #ff0000;">  </span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/larry-craig.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1279" title="larry-craig" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/larry-craig-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> </p>
<p>New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned after news becomes public that he paid for the services of a high end call girl.  Ironic since Spitzer came into office, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/12/nyregion/12cnd-resign.html"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;as a fierce enforcer of ethics in public life.&#8221; </span></span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/elliot_spitzer.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1276" title="TV DRIVING WITH DOBBS" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/elliot_spitzer-239x300.jpg" alt="" width="239" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;The Whore&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/12/mcgreevey.nj/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey took a different approach to sex scandals when he came out of the closet as a gay man and resigned as Governor of New Jersey. Unexpected for a Republican. </span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/12/mcgreevey.nj/"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">The Governor, the former (maybe current) lover, and his poor wife.</span></span></a></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mcgreevey-and-co.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1353" title="mcgreevey-and-co" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mcgreevey-and-co-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Detroit Mayor Democrat Kwame Kilpatrick who is undergoing a fight for his political career.<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-mayor8-2008aug08,0,6091568.story"> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">As hard as he tries he can&#8217;t seem to stay out of jail for parole violations</span></span></a><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">.</span></span>  However parole violations aren&#8217;t a major concern for the married Mayor who was busted by text.  <a href="http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080124/METRO/801240417"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Text messages the Mayor sent in 2002 and 2003 indicated he had a sexual affair with his chief of staff (who is pictured below).</span></span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/kwame06.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1282" title="kwame06" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/kwame06-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/beatty-kilpatrick.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1283" title="beatty-kilpatrick" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/beatty-kilpatrick-300x207.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/31/BAGM3NSFGQ7.DTL"><span style="color: #ff0000;">San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom committed a cardinal sin by having an affair with his campaign managers wife.</span></a><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span> Having worked a brief stint in local and national politics I can tell you what a total, colossal violation of trust this is. Especially given the nature of this relationship. Newsom trusted his political future to his campaign manager the least he could do is not f*&amp;k his wife.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/gavin1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1355" title="73172174JS005_Campaign_Mana" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/gavin1-229x300.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The one time aid and wife to the campaign manager.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-divorce11-2008jul11,0,6546861.story?page=1"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Republican Presidential candidate and Arizona Senator John McCain had a little known affair with his current wife when he was married to his ex-wife.</span></a></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span> This past affair hasn&#8217;t made much headlines for McCain and really goes to show that sex and politics don&#8217;t have to mean the end to a political career.  It just means you&#8217;re just not a good person. That&#8217;s all.  She&#8217;s the winner!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mccain-wife.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1356" title="mccain-wife" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mccain-wife-300x206.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="206" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN0848432520080808"><span style="color: #ff0000;">John Edwards recent marital infidelities have left his personal life splattered like a bug across the windshield of American politics. Of course we delight to learn that Senator Edwards has faults, is human, isn&#8217;t a cyborg, unlike his old running mate - Senator John Kerry (who is now rumored to be a potential VP choice for Obama).</span></a>  However John&#8217;s affair really takes the cake.  Not only did he cheat on his wife which is an unconscionable offense in and of itself but the icing on the cake was the fact that his wife was in remission from cancer at this time of the affair.  Well done Senator you&#8217;re the biggest son of a bitch I know.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w1sPvLpG0T4" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w1sPvLpG0T4"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Senator and the &#8220;other&#8221; woman</p>
<p><a href="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/johnedwardsaffair.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1357" title="johnedwardsaffair" src="http://www.madnessletters.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/johnedwardsaffair-300x222.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="222" /></a></p>
<p>My point here is that these are our leaders.  The people we elect to represent our interests.  Now no one is perfect but come on get it together.  What pisses me off the most is that these representatives spend most of their time screwing us, the taxpayer, with higher taxes, less services and in many cases can&#8217;t even pass a budget on time leaving many families out in the wind and costing us millions more in interest payments because they can&#8217;t do their jobs.  Given all these significant deficiencies how do they possibly have the time to f*&amp;k all these people and us at the same time?</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re anything like Madness you&#8217;re up late every night watching either Phelps just f$^king dominate or 12 year old women divers jump from a height that&#8217;s not for the weak willed and make literally no splash.  Yes it&#8217;s creepy.  One of the odd things, that for some reason at this Olympics, has everyone talking is why Olympic divers shower after every dive?  Madness&#8217;s first thought was shrinkage, second thought addictive chemical bath.  Apparently I&#8217;m a little off.<a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/The-mystery-of-the-showering-divers?urn=oly,100472"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> Why Olympic Divers Shower.</span></a></p>
