One more thing — and I think we’re largely in agreement, so I’m not piling on — the methodology of using “sex” as a search term is a bit flawed. A lot of news stories would lead with “prostitution scandal” or “public restroom indecency charges” because they’re much more interesting phrases in a time when people have gotten pretty jaded about “sex scandals.”

I actually tested several key words, scandal, restroom, prostitution etc. I picked sex since it worked for both Craig and Spitzer but I absolutely agree the key word would need to go beyond “sex” for a good analysis.
