O.K. since this is going to be ongoing,I will start with something small.I will add more as the site progresses."One day in the House Of) Commons there was another another opponent of Churchill that when he had the floor started ,started lambasting + generally abusing is character to the court. Winston just yawned + appearded to care less.The gent sitting next to him askes Willine if he was not offended at his comments.Churchills reply was "I would be be if I valueded his opinion."

Churchill and the Lady Astor were never on cordial terms and often mixed eloqutions at dinner engagements. One time Winny asked Lady Astor if she would sleep with him for a million pounds. After some consideration she replied that yes, maybe, for a million pounds she might even sleep with HIM!. Later in the evening he engaged her again, asking if she would sleep with him for 10 pounds. Deeply offended, she replied no and asked why he would even approach such an offer. Churchill replied that earlier they were gaining a moral issue. Now, they were just haggling over price!

About another man in power. During Clinton's 2nd term, 1000 women were surveyed with the question of whether they would sleep with Clinton. 84% said, "not again".
