I love the responses dealing with why women politicians don't cheat

How do female politicians differ from their male counterparts? They (typically) don’t cheat.

So said the women — senators all — who gathered Wednesday for a breakfast panel discussion hosted by the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.

“You just don’t have the time,” laughed Kay Bailey Hutchison. “With all the multitasking [women] do, who could plan that whole scheme? Getting a flight to South America?” she asked.

Kirsten Gillibrand concurred: “While I’m at home changing diapers, I just couldn’t conceive of it.”

The panel discussion — which also included Dianne Feinstein and Susan Collins — took place in the Kennedy Caucus Room and was moderated by Cokie Roberts, who called the 17 women serving as U.S. senators “the last bastion of nonpartisanship in the Senate.”

The ways in which female politicians support one another — across party lines — was much discussed. But sisterly bipartisanship extends only so far — and not as far as Sarah Palin, it seems.

Said Feinstein of Palin: “She was inexperienced, had a lack of knowledge and [had] a limited worldview.”
