CNBC's John Harwood, US senator in alleged marriage scandal
Examiner ^ | 3/6/10 | Cherie Saunders

Posted on 03/08/2010 8:15:17 AM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

The reporter who was interviewing President Obama when he famously swatted a fly is suddenly the buzz of DC, thanks to a New York Post gossip item about his marriage.

According to unnamed "spies" for Page Six, CNBC Washington correspondent and New York Times writer John Harwood has split from his wife Frankie Blackburn, and it's all because of an alleged romance with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.)

The Post's March 5 column quotes anonymous "well placed sources" who claim Harwood managed to keep the sordid details out of one DC paper "by sobbing to a reporter until he agreed to kill the story."

A Cantwell spokesman had no comment about the rumor. As for Harwood, he reportedly told Page Six: "I don't feel comfortable talking about my family life." But, the sobbing part "is absolutely not true."

Among the men SeattleWeekly.com lists in the senator's dating history: lobbyist Ron Dotzauer, ESPN anchor Charlie Steiner, former New Jersey senator Robert Toricelli and lawyer Jim Johanson.

We’re all candidates for scandal (most of us, anyway), but being a “progressive, liberal” dim-bulb-crat supporter appears to change things from probable to likely.
