Alexander Hamilton, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, just to name a few. But what makes lust in politics interesting in a different way is not lust itself, but the worry of lust. The not actually partaking of, and not the defending of past transgressions, but just the thinking about the thinking, and how dangerous that apparently might be.

One would say that for some political figures, the idea of lust led to the pre-shutting down of lust. The, if you will, anti-lust. For example, in 1976, then presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, a notably religious man, decided to sit down for a lengthy interview with Playboy magazine.

During this dubious choice, he nearly torpedoed his campaign by proclaiming that, quote, I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I have committed adultery in my heart many times, end quote. Again, not acting on lust, but confessing of its existence. It may seem like a small thing now in current politics, but trust me, it was all anyone could talk about, and it almost cost him the election.

Or how about in 2002, when Attorney General John Ashcroft had the Justice Department spend $8,000 to buy large blue curtains to cover up the Spirit of Justice statue in the Great Hall, because the 1930s Art Deco aluminum statue depicting a blindfolded Lady of Justice holding her scales and sword had a bare breast showing. a 72-year-old aluminum boob was just too tempting to let exist unconcealed.

And former Vice President Mike Pence. During his largely unremarkable time in office, it came out that he would never eat alone with a woman unless his wife was present. That may seem just overly chaste at first look, but it also severely bends, if not breaks, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Look it up if you don't believe me. And the list goes on and on.

Politicians twisting themselves into pious pretzels, lest lust lead them astray for even a moment. Did I bring these examples up because they offer an oft-overlooked aspect of our relationship with lust? Maybe. Or did I just want to remind us all how incredibly weird politicians can be when they are virtue signaling? We'll never know.
