Get burnt! As married crusader of family values, Republican Mike Duvall found out when his explicit remarks about sexual conquests were broadcast over an open microphone. He talks in graphic detail about two women he slept with, at least one of whom appeared to be a lobbyist with business before the utilities committee on which he sat as vice chairman. Needless to say, he’s gone the way of Paddy ‘Pantsdown’, Mark Oaten and more recently Nigel Griffiths this side of the pond.
We love a good scandal and the press go into a feeding frenzy if they get the slightest whiff of sleaze. No surprise then that LA’s KTAL TV went in for the kill.
My advice, look to Shakespeare and learn Mike. In Measure for Measure, Will tackles the themes of mercy, justice, and truth, and their relationship to pride and humility: "Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall". The villain of the piece, like Mike, is a hypocrite who’s overly zealous about upholding the law, yet has a sexual weakness for nuns! When it comes to the relationship between sex and the abuse of power, Shakespeare had it tabbed!
The moral of the story: don’t set yourself up as a paragon of virtue if you’re caught spit-roasting two chicks, neither of which is your wife!
