A married congressman sent out some cheesy self-shots via twitter and whatever else. He’s got some problems that, as far as anyone can tell, are totally irrelevant to anything, harmed no one other than himself, but his party wants to talk policy not penis pics, and declaring a total lack of interest in such matters is not an option. It’s less of a problem for a prince or any other politician actually to be a pervert among perverts than to be seen as shameless about it, or about the even worse offense: not of lying, but of lying clumsily.

Eleanor Roosevelt moved to Manhattan in 1933, the year her husband was inaugurated, and lived at 20 East 11th Street, a row house, as a plaque on the building informs us. In 1942 she moved to 29 Washington Square West, an apartment house, where another plaque informs us she lived until 1949. The neighbors had to know. The newspapers surely knew. The First Lady and her husband publicly lived apart, where they were free to have their own sex lives without any interference from the press.
