In just the past decade, America has had its fair share of sex scandals to shake the foundations of capitol buildings in every state. From South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford flying to Argentina for a secret affair to former Senator Larry Craig trying to get some man action in an airport bathroom, America’s politics seem to have become infested with the dirty secrets of the men and women who hold our laws in their hands. Maybe it’s the current technological revolution that allows information to be found much more quickly than in any time in the past, or maybe it’s just the nature of all humans, no matter what nationality. It’s not just American political leaders getting caught in the sexy act, so now we can all breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that the rest of the world also has sexually dirty politicians with newly publicized secrets.
7. Sarkozy’s Embarrassing Friend
In 2009, conservative French President Nicolas Sarkozy attempted to add a little variety to his cabinet by appointing Frederic Mitterand, son of extremely popular former Socialist Party President Francois Mitterand. Frederic was a filmmaker, openly gay, and author of an autobiographical novel in which the narrator, who went by a different name than Frederic, frequents young boy prostitutes in Thailand. The book had been out for some time. No one seemed to care too much about that part until Mitterand very publicly came to the defense of filmmaker Roman Polanski, who had just been arrested for decades-old child rape charges in Los Angeles. When Mitterand came out vehemently against America’s actions, people started to look into the “fictional” accounts of his earlier book. When accused of actually having sex with child prostitutes in Thailand, Mitterand somewhat stupidly admitted to having had sex with male prostitutes, but insisted they were all of legal age. The matter has since been dropped. Whether you believe him or not, it’s not the best way to be introduced into a presidential cabinet.
6. Abdurrahman Wahid, Indonesian Ladies’ Man. Or not.
In 2000, Wahid was both the president and the Muslim cleric when a poor, much younger woman accused him of having an affair with her while she was married. She claimed that Wahid gave her tons of expensive toys and that it all started around the time his wife became paralyzed in a road accident. Of course, Wahid denied it. It has since been proven to be a false claim, but it just goes to show that no matter what country you rule or religion you represent, someone out there will always want a piece of you. Given the year, maybe she was taking a page from Lewinsky’s notebook.
5. Moshe Katsav, Presidential Rapist?
Katsav, former Israeli president, is currently on trial for one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault. What makes this case so striking is the severity of the crime. Rape? It’s difficult to imagine how the American public would react if one of our presidents were ever put trial for such a horrible act. What’s interesting is that in 2007, Katsav tried to plead guilty to the two charges of sexual assault to get the rape count dropped. The public was so outraged that the plea bargain was eventually canceled. So he basically admitted to the sexual assault. The trial is ongoing, but somehow I don’t think it’s going to end too well for him.
4. Palestinian Aide, Naked on a Bed
Earlier this year, a top man in Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ cabinet was caught on tape in the nude. He doesn’t actually do anything naughty on film, just calls a lady to come over and join him. But the lady in question says Rafiq Husseini was willing to trade her government favors for the sex. Fortunately for her, and unfortunately for him, that sex never happened. Instead, the president’s administration caught a lot of flak and Husseini got canned. Of course, Husseini says he was set up by the Israelis. Even if that were the truth, he was still about to give up some sweet government perks for some sweet perky nipples.
3. Paraguayan Presidential Paternity
Not all Catholic scandals involve child molestation. When Fernando Lugo, Paraguayan president, was only a Catholic Bishop, he had a sexual relationship with a sixteen-year-old girl. Lugo claims she was eighteen when the sex started, but either way, eight years later a baby is born. Lugo actually came out and admitted to having the affair, not seeming too apologetic either. His defense was a challenge to the Catholic church to rethink their no-marriage stance for church officials. It clearly wasn’t and isn’t working anywhere in the world. Now there’s a corrupt Catholic I can get behind.
2. Brazilian Tranny and the Italian Governor
Piero Marrazzo’s case is bizarre from the beginning. First, he was caught on tape “meeting” with two Brazilian transsexual prostitutes. Second, he claims he was set up by an opposition political group. Third, he disappears into a monastery outside of Rome. Fourth, one of the prostitutes turns up dead from smoke inhalation. As fishy as it seems, the murder was never connected to Marrazzo and he eventually resigned from his position.
1. The Worst of Them All: South African Sex Addict
Current President Jacob Zuma is the busiest guy in the world. Not only does he run an entire country, but he also finds time to allegedly father twenty children from a variety of mothers. Yes, twenty. The latest kid came less than a year ago. Also, Zuma has three wives. Yes, three. And he has admitted to boning, without a condom, a lady who was HIV positive. All of this is incredibly stupid for a man running a country where AIDS is such a widespread problem. Some people have recommended sex rehab, but maybe Zuma just needs an assistant to follow him around with a fanny pack full of rubbers.
