Throw him in there with Tiger, Clinton, Edwards, Barney, Sanford, Livingston, Vitter, Craig, Magic, MJ, Kobie, and the rest of the cheaters. Seems like the only one who is faithful to there spouse is Sarah Palin and the leftwing press has tried to “pornify” her for a year!

Could they just find the one politician who is NOT having a sleazy affair? Now that would be real news.

At least Sanford didn’t try to get his “soulmate” a cushy job.

Far more than H1N1, we must say. Of course corruption is contagious when left unchecked.

Why don’t you put it this way every man and woman in this country that has had sex out side of their marriage should stay home and not vote the next election. Would that make you feel better. Of course you are not going to win but if it makes you feel good.

I suppose you’re going to throw the “you who are without sin, cast the first stone” biblical quote at me. My point is that many people who are in political positions of power or are role models for young people are throwing away their marriage vows in exchange for lifestyles of sleaze and sin. I believe a man (or woman) who will cheat on his spouse cannot be trusted in a public or private arena. We need positive role models like Tim Tebow or A.C. Green. Politically we need people like George Bush, Sarah Palin, Evan Bayh, Bob Bekel to reinforce our judao-christian morals.

Let’s see, I said nothing about a bible quote, I’m saying you are silly and unrealistic. I have know a lot of people in my life, most of which have done the same thing. And one of those people you list has a daughter that got knocked up in her own house. What planet are you from??
