TMI Index for Politicians: Some Scandalous Details Are Best Left Unknown
Frankly, we're a little exhausted. Do we really need to know every last sordid detail of our politicians' sex lives (not to mention their drug histories)? Ever since the Clinton impeachment, it's not enough simply to catch them in the act — now the act must be described in vivid detail, too. There's a point in every scandal when you suddenly just don't want to hear any more. And so we've created a TMI Index for Politicians to chart the moments when titillation turns to revulsion. Click, enlarge, shudder. And then try to forget. —Jessica Coen
