Hey, we’ve got our first political sex scandal of the spring. Not as charming as an Easter basket, but maybe livelier. What would you guess the most common response was?
A) “Oh my God, not Rep. Matt Gaetz!”
B) “Matt who?”
C) “Is that the guy who they say keeps passing around pictures of naked women?”
I would go with C, but it’s perfectly possible a lot of people are still perplexed when the name comes up. Which is sort of a shame. If Americans love a sex scandal, they prefer it to involve somebody who’s reasonably important.
