...that everyone knows about Jimmy Carter's lustful thoughts, it is apparently hard for a female journalist to resist asking for more details. As Barbara Howar put it after interviewing the Democratic candidate, "I [told] him that if he is pressed to be more specific about his list of the many women he has lusted after in his heart, I would certainly appreciate being mentioned." Not one to be overlooked, Harvard Professor Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, popped the same question while interviewing Carter in August for the Ladies' Home Journal...

Chicago Daily News Columnist Mike Royko has an admission of his own about hust on the lustings: "I, too, have looked at women with lust. While wearing dark glasses and without.
