We hate to say it, but was anyone actually shocked by the recent departure of David Wu? After allegations surfaced of an unwanted sexual encounter with an 18-year-old, the Oregon lawmaker became the latest coitus-seeking congressman to step down, joining the ranks of unfortunate dudes before him who just couldn’t seem to keep their shady sexual relations from going public.

To help keep future House partiers on point, we’ve created an official Political Sex Scandal In/Out List, breaking down what’s passable and what’s passé when it comes to making X-rated headlines.
