...exact same campaign, had he faced the exact same opponent, and had the exact same nude Cosmopolitan Magazine centerfold spread come to light, his (or rather, her, in this hypothetical) campaign would have died right then and there. She would have been forced out of her current job and lost whatever credibility she had left, along with any hopes of running for future office or holding a high-profile job. There would have been accusations of prostitution, name-calling, innuendos, claims of foul play, and conspiracy theories galore. Why? Because Scott Brown needed to pay for law school...

The state attorney general, Coakley, 56 - who would...
...most famous presidential birthday bash is undoubtedly JFK's 45th in 1962, featuring Marilyn Monroe's sultry serenade, "Happy birthday, Mr. President." The event fueled speculation that the Chief Executive and the Playboy centerfold were having an affair. It also was reportedly the model for the 50th birthday party of another philandering President, Bill Clinton - a Radio City Music Hall gala that raised $10 million for the Democratic Party in 1996.
