Maria Cantwell's Men: An Attempt at Documenting the Dating History of Washington's Junior Senator
seattle weekly ^ | 5/10/10 | Caleb Hannan

Posted on 12/24/2013 12:38:03 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

Maria Cantwell is single, young (by Congressional standards) and, according to the Huffington Post, the sexiest Senator in the land. She's also, if the scurrilous gossip-mongers at The New York Post are to be believed, part of the reason CNBC correspondent and New York Times writer John Harwood's marriage is ending.

Neither Harwood nor Cantwell confirmed the affair rumors to Page Six. But if its "D.C. insiders" are correct -- and really, who would ever question the validity of anonymous sources dishing to a gossip columnist -- then it wouldn't be the first time Cantwell's been linked to a married man.

A casual glance at the Wikipedia page of any male politician usually reveals one section devoted to personal history. Some mention of past girlfriends or a closet where skeletons are buried. But despite a verified instance in which Cantwell was "the other woman," her Wikipedia entry is so clean you could print it out and eat off of it.

So here now, an attempt at documenting the dating history of Washington's junior Senator.

The story is admittedly dated...but Ann Coulter recently pointed to this column.

Her take: "A senator having an affair and breaking up a marriage & barely a word in the media? Guess the party."

I agree. Imagine a Republican of EITHER sex destroying a marriage. The media would've had a field day.

Met her 7 or so years ago. Pasty, clammy look to her. Skinny, hunched over. A real policy wonk type. Reminded me of the Faye Dunaway character in the film "Network".

Must be the power because it sure ain't the looks or charisma.

That’s because that sort of behavior is expected of Democrats. It’s routine, dog bites man, not newsworthy. They have no sexual morals or scruples so no one is shocked when they act like alley cats. Revealing this sort of scandal shocks no one, least of all their base.

Most Republicans, even RINOs, at least espouse some morality. Most try to live up to it. Therefore when they stumble, fail, or reveal themselves to be hypocrites it becomes newsworthy, at least to democrat members of the mainstream media (but I repeat myself). Plus it damages their standing with their base and their electoral competitiveness against democrats. That’s an added bonus.

Attractive in comparison to the usual liberal democrat woman in politics.

“Politics is Hollywood for ugly people!” Limbaugh?

Only another democrat would consider her hot.

But it's not as if she had much competition.
