I agree totally Sara, the Teapot Dome Scandal affected the country much more than Harding's choices of mistresses (although the broom closet incident has since been disproved I've found out). I was just pointed out that none of the presidents were squeaky clean.

Grant's administration is probably the MOST corrupt of any in history. It also didn't help that he was a raging alcoholic and wasn't coherent enough to make some important decisions.

FDR had mistresses as well and rumor has it that he may have known about Pearl Harbor and didn't do anything about it because he knew that the U.S. getting involved in WWII would help bring us out of the Great Depression. That's never been proven, but, my point is, that there is no politician that isn't corrupt somehow. They wouldn't get as far as they did without doing SOMETHING shady.

And as far as the presidents sleeping with anything with 2 legs in a skirt, I could care less, as long as he does his job....the mistresses are between him and his spouse...NONE OF MY BUSINESS!!! And I would really rather not read the sordid details in the newspapers everyday.
