If Bubba "The Big Dog" Clinton were to father a child out of wedlock, like Arnold the Governator did, the bar would be set so low that nobody would say anything except "Do you think the kid will get Secret Service protection?" We already know he is willing to lie through his teeth, even under oath, has Restless Penis Syndrome, and no moral compass. The recent flurry of sex-pose's involving Congressman Weiner, Schwartzenegger, and the rest is mostly because they set themselves so high up on a pedestal of moral or intellectual superiority that they set the bar too high for themselves. Weiner for example, thinks he is the Albert Einstein of politics. The smartest guy in the room. So when his sexting his tweety bird backfired and everyone on the planet knew he was lying and demonstrated in print that he was too dumb to not be doing these kinds of things, the comparison between the LEGEND (in his own mind) and REALITY (naked to the world) was extreme. That's what saved Charlie Rangel. No one expected much from him. Compound that with the denials and attacks on the innocent and you have a perfect storm of "this boomerang is commin' back atcha."
When you are in the habit of dominating everyone in your world with your moral superiority or any kind of certitude, you are setting yourself up for opening up a big can of Schadenfreude whup-ass. You can be 100% SURE that people just can't wait to see you get your come-uppance. Weiner is the latest example. There is a lot of discussion on TV about piling on and "the poor pitiful guy is only human." Personally I love watching him "hoist on his own pitard". It's like Mussolini hinging upside down from a rope at the end of his rule. He was naked too.
