School for scandal

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC operative and ardent Anglophile Bob Mulholland calls this conundrum the British Rule: "Why do men go into politics, when they either end up in obscurity or a scandal?"

Or is it the American rule?

Consider: As Bernie Kerik bowed out in his bid to be the Bush administration's next homeland secretary because of a nanny problem -- yeah, I know, Kerik had more than just a nanny problem -- British Home Secretary David Blunkett survived weeks of his own nannygate, a choice element in an even messier personal scandal. As the U.K.'s Independent reported, the divorced Blunkett began an affair with American publisher Kimberly Quinn four months into her marriage. During the three years they were an item, Quinn gave birth to a now 2-year-old son and she is pregnant with another child. Blunkett is fighting in court to establish his paternity.

Always thought that David Blunkett was a rascally old dog, blind or not.
Imagine being cuckolded by a guy who can't even see.
Not only that, said blind man then proceeded to boldly father two children with wife.
Sure wouldn't like to be in her husband's shoes. Where do you go from such a public humiliation?
Ole David Blunkett sure doesn't need anyone to point him to where the source of pleasure is, does he? :)
