Eagleton: Being a mental case who might one day have his hand on The Button is still a disqualifier.
Kennedy: Caught with a dead hooker. That rule still applies.
Hart: Hubris. He shouldn't have boasted that he didn't cheat on his wife. He was begging to be caught as a hypocrite.
Eagleton wouldnt have an issue today when mental conditions are considered a disease
Kennedy wasnt caught with a dead hooker
Hart was the first one in part because he dared the press and they werent on his side.
I know she was a secretary, but she was fooling around with a married man.
You've heard that expression, haven't you? There are only two things which can kill a politician's career. To be caught in bed with a dead hooker or a live boy. Teddy fell into the "dead hooker" category.
And you can't possibly believe that if it was discovered today that Hillary Clinton had received shock therapy you guys wouldn't start three hundred and eighty-six thousand topics about it.
