  1. A quotation from Molly Ivins

    I do not believe the President’s sex life is any of our business. After thirty years of political reporting, I have been unable to establish a link between marital fidelity and high performance in public office. It really doesn’t matter who they screw in private, as long as they don’t screw the public.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (1998-03), “A Dodge Too Far,” The Progressive, Vol. 62, No. 3
