Where have all the role models gone?

I am writing this next blog not necissarily for the actual info in the article but the basis of the article. I am so tired of hearing about the love life of government officials and all the scandals they have been a part of I mean enough is enough. This particular article focuses in on Montana Senators Max Baucus's latest scandal he has managed to get himself into. According to foxnews.com the senators nomination for U.S. attorney just so happened to be the woman he had been having an affair with and is now the boyfriend of, not so long after his wife left him for the cheating. I am so tired of these people that we are electing to help run our country and their inability to keep it in their pants. I understand this happens all the time and the reason it is such a big deal for these people is because they are public officials or in Tiger's case famous athletes but come one. No matter how you want to sugar coated to are a public figure in the United States and people look up to you so quit fooling around. I am so tired of hearing more scandal stories in the news than stories of how the people of the U.S. are going to start finding jobs, boosting the economy and working on the real issues, if you find a new love and happened to be marriend, let go of the wife and go hang out with that twenty something blonde. I was told i couldnt have my cake and eat it to and I am not a public figure so niether can you. Grow up, learn some respect, try to find some morals and ethics, or get the hell out of the way so someone who has all those things can help bring this country out of our current problems.

  1. I totally agree with you on this! It is ridiculous that these things are going on. I dont know why these officials seem to think that it is okay to behave like this.. do they not have any shame? Something seriously needs to change here!

  2. It is hard to say that the less-than-stellar behavior of public figures is any more outrageous today than it has been in the past. We've had political figures duel each other, spy on political rivals, have "sex" (depending on your definition) with interns, etc...

    But I certainly do agree that their public image seems to get ignored by some caught behaving badly. We've all done things that we probably wouldn't have if our lives were lived on the nightly news, but that is exactly it; our lives aren't on the nightly news, theirs are.
