Forbes, probably to sway US financiers to ignore Foley, Vitter, Craig and the rest, has run a story and photo slide show about international sex scandals, going so far as to print:
Just about every country in the world has been rattled by some sort of political sex scandal in recent times.
Source? It sounds to me like a bit of an exaggeration, but the magazine was published for over 35 years by a closeted gay leather daddy, Malcolm Forbes...perhaps that is still clouding their view. Reading the article I can't help think that the subtle message in the piece is that it's OK for the magazine's readers to write off these scandals because, well, they happen everywhere.

Well Mike, gays can be found in every culture on every continent and they can't seem to stop paying negative attention to us.
What kind of fools do they take us for?
