Let's Talk About Sex (And Power)

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX (AND POWER)
The Client 9 Syndrome

Another in a long line of high-profile political sex "scandals," like the Larry Craig men's room encounter, Spitzer's downfall points to the hypocrisy of those in power who break the codes they themselves have vehemently enforced. But should the sex lives of politicians be a matter for public concern? Are Type-A male personalities something we should seek or avoid in those we elect? Should prostitution be legalized? Is the sex business intrinsically sexist? And is power an aphrodisiac, a byproduct of uncontrollable testosterone, or both?

Join us in a leftist take on the trail from the Governor's Mansion to the Emperor's Club.
