It incorporates prominent scandals, at both federal and state level, in which sudden and unexpected revelations created an uncertain political environment. The primary focus is on sex scandals and how damage limitation strategies have been utilized in order to try to limit and accommodate a demise in political standing. The book considers how damage limitation strategies were utilized, the core components of each, and their impact on the political standing of the individuals involved. Rather than marking the end of a political journey, scandal increasingly appears to be an issue that can be perceived as a temporary impediment in a political career. Robert Busby is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the Department of History and Politics at Liverpool Hope University, UK. 505 0 $a Chapter 1:- Introduction -- Chapter 2:- Scandal : the causes, the problems and the outcomes -- Chapter 3:- Twentieth century issues : the lessons of the past -- Chapter 4:- Spitzer : the downfall of a governor -- Chapter 5:- John Edwards : the chaos of the cover-up -- Chapter 6:- Mark Sanford : hiking in Appalachia -- Chapter 7:- Anthony Weiner : the perils of social media -- Chapter 8:- Donald Trump : the Teflon don -- Chapter 9:- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Political corruption $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Sex scandals $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Truthfulness and falsehood $x Political aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56FE3B2CDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
