When it comes to politics, sometimes I think the US is a lot more like France than the UK. For example, we have a former Representive who tweeted a sexual picture[1] and then lied about doing so and was forced to resign but will now probably become the next mayor or New York. Then we have a state Governor who disappeared for 6 days and said he was hiking the Appalachian Trail - but he lied and was was really in Argentina having an affair with his mistress[2]. He was forced to resign but just a couple months ago ran for a house seat and won. So, scandal doesn't really mean much in the US either.
