To keep from crying

The best take I've seen so far on the Lori Chavez-DeRemer scandals is a hilarious one, by a guy named Gary Legum, on Wonkette. A sample:

This ability to avoid the spotlight has allowed Chavez-DeRemer to get busy banging a subordinate behind her husband’s back. ALLEGEDLY.

Of course, Noem has also allegedly been banging a subordinate behind her husband’s back. It’s just that adultery is the least repulsive thing about Kristi Noem, whose ethical ledger is so deep in the red that cheating on a spouse might not even be worth recording....

See, it’s fine for us to drink in the office during the workday, because the office is our dining room table and there is no one around to catch us at it except the occasional Orkin man. It’s another thing for a Cabinet secretary to do it. Although by DC standards, affairs and drinking in the office during the workday sound pretty tame. Powerful people have been getting drunk and chasing subordinates around their desks since time immemorial. We’ve written about more than a few congressional dalliances in our time.

If you want a chuckle, then as we used to say in the prehsitoric times of the blogsphere, read the whole thing.
