I spent 35 years coverning the news. The number of times rumors of a man cheating on his wife have been wrong are very few. The only cases I have seen where the accused was innocnet were when the candidate first accused of cheating tried to make the case that his opponent was a cheater too.
The Rumors about clinton were true. The Clinton counter charges that Bush 41 cheated were lies.
Rumors like this that follow politicians are not started on freerepublic or the typical person on the street. It starts within the social circles politicians hang around, I would suggest to the mayor to start looking closer to his "friends" rather than an aide who got the info several steps down the line.
I know the "reporters" in Arkansas knew about Clinton for YEARS and ignored it. Some of the women were working for the "news". I lost all respect for any of them when they didn't tell the truth when Clinton was running for President. It went downhill from there.
Where there is smoke there is usually fire. I wonder if they will apologize when this "rumor" is proven true? /sarcasm
