Article Abstract:

Confrontational politics in the US are enforced by the spectator-like relationship the public has with its representatives. The fascination with the presidential sex scandal indicates that Americans view politics as a source of entertainment rather than governance. To re-engage the public, Democrats and Republicans should restore a standard of ethical behavior.
