Throbber, I can tell you from personal experience that the crazies on the left in politics aren't worth the squeeze. The narcissism and weirdness are just too much. The women I met on the right never presented the opportunity. This is back in the 80's and 90's so things might be a bit different today. If the women in congress are anything like the modern-day hottie teachers, it could be pretty good pickings for a young single guy working on the hill.
On a side note, I will never understand the bang and tattle tell teenagers of today. If at 15-17 I had a hot teacher wanting to use me like the handle of a milk churn, no one would have heard a word about it. I would have rode teach until I was too old for her. Extra credit would have had to have been a part of the agreement, and I think her purchasing a few cases of Rainier pounders every now and then for me and my buddies would have been more than equitable for services rendered, but there would have been no telling mommy or daddy I can assure you of that.
