“What have we learned recently from a couple of embarrassing disclosures recently involving elected officials?”

That any idiot can write a supposed ‘tell-all’ book and even more idiots will believe everything in them, without critical thinking. Oh, and the MSM will lap it up only if it’s a conservative or Republican.

That is what we have learned.

... and we have had reinforced that conservative women will be savaged my the MSM.

This is reminding me of Kitty Kelly's book about the Reagans.

Pure garbage that the libs will lap up, and unfortunately, a handful of PDSers on FR.

Marital problems??? Well I guess I must confess.

Mrs p6 and I DO NOT sleep together more than one or two nights a week! It has been that way for over 25 years!

Despite that fact we've raised three great kids there are obviously serious problems here.

Forget of course that I work the night shift and she works the day shift.

We've often joked that we're like Sam and George the sheepdogs in the old cartoons as we trade places in the bed.

The question is not whether the persons involved are a credible source, but it would be too easy to refute a claim to have access to such e-mails by simply producing the originals. It is just too easy to verify their validity by tracking them. If I was going to make up a story like this to smear someone, I would not claim to have e-mails if I didn't have any. The claim could too easily be disproved and I would be discredited. It would be far more effective to claim the source came from personal conversations. That could neither be proved or disproved. Some doubt would linger in the minds of those who heard the allegations. I just do not see anybody with even a little bit of savvy making claims that can so easily be disproven. I could understand her political opponents being deceitful and vindictive, but am less likely to believe that they would be so foolish. They could be making this whole thing up, but I suspect that they are a little more savvy than that.
