Here's a bizarre anecdote from New York Times columnist David Brooks. He describes attending a Washington dinner where a Republican senator sitting beside him "had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time." Watch:
Why Brooks let the senator keep his hand there for the entire dinner is a mystery. Why he described the incident on television, but then refused to name the politician, is another. The relationship between the press and politicians is often scrutinized, with many observers claiming that the two are "in bed" together. Given Brooks's odd story, that untoward relationship apparently extends to the dinner table as well.
