Sex Scandals in the Sun

By Gail Collins

...The nation is always going to have political sex crises, but, in a perfect world, we would confine them to Congress. The only thing you really need members of Congress to do is vote the way you want them to. They can be a day away from indictment or as crazy as a loon and it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference.
For instance, you may be totally unaware that this week we got a new chapter in the story of the private life of Representative Steve Cohen of Tennessee. His saga went like this:
■ Congressman gets caught sending a lovey-dovey text to an aspiring swimsuit model.
■ In defense, congressman announces that the woman in question is actually his recently uncovered love child.
■ Congressman and surprise daughter take DNA tests for CNN. There’s no relationship.
■ Asked for further comment, congressman tells a female reporter: “You’re very attractive, but I’m not talking about it.”....
