No different from banana republic pols (my background) they all have mistresses.
As an adulterer who voted for a measure that supposedly protects the sanctity of marriage, Rep. Sherwood is in illustrious company. Then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich helped move the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) through the House of Representatives in 1996 while simultaneously conducting an adulterous affair with an aide. His counterpart, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, left his first wife for another woman, whom he gave a do-nothing job on his Senate staff. Additionally on DOMA, Rep. Bob Barr, who drafted the legislation, has been married three times. Rep. Bob Livingstone, who was tapped to take the Speakership from Gingrich, lost the position when it was revealed he had been involved in multiple kink-filled orgies, to which his wife was not invited, while supporting the GOP “values” agenda.
When asked about the political future for Rep. Sherwood - who allegedly physically abused his girlfriend and appears to be a typical hypocritical adulterous GOP sleazebag - Marge Matisko, an activist with the Luzerne County [PA] Republican Party said: “The congressman is a family man. When I think about family values, I think about the Don Sherwoods and Rick Santorums of the world.”
The Don Sherwoods and Rick Santorums of the world certainly are peas from the same pod -- crooks and liars, making them good members of the Republican Party!
If he actually voted for that defence of marriage thing... and didnt get divorced... I would say he is walking the walk...:o)
Principles at work ...LOL.
On the gay marriage kerfuffle in Massachusetts, "State Sen. Diane Wilkerson, in an unintentionally hilarious moment during the debate, broke down in tears. She compared anti-gay discrimination with her prosecution for, and conviction on, charges of tax fraud."
