He is the Gary Hart of our time....In this day and age, you will be hard pressed to find a Mr. Clean-starched Underwear. That happend 2 decades ago. The bar is higher and times have changed. Nowadays you read a story of some schmuck cheating on his wife, and you just guffaw and move to the next story.
I don't think it is the cheating but instead challenging the media. Hart was nailed in 1988 and four years later Clinton got elected after saying that he cheated. Did the country change that much in four years or was in the challenge? When you challenge a cop or reporter they are not going to walk away, they are going to find something on you no matter how deep they have to dig.
I know that if every MSM reporter investigated my life they would find some embarrassing things but I would not challenge them to look.
