The reporter who was interviewing President Obama when he famously swatted a fly is suddenly the buzz of DC, thanks to a New York Post gossip item about his marriage.
According to unnamed "spies" for Page Six, CNBC Washington correspondent and New York Times writer John Harwood has split from his wife Frankie Blackburn, and it's all because of an alleged romance with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.)
The Post's March 5 column quotes anonymous "well placed sources" who claim Harwood managed to keep the sordid details out of one DC paper "by sobbing to a reporter until he agreed to kill the story."
A Cantwell spokesman had no comment about the rumor. As for Harwood, he reportedly told Page Six: "I don't feel comfortable talking about my family life." But, the sobbing part "is absolutely not true."
Among the men SeattleWeekly.com lists in the senator's dating history: lobbyist Ron Dotzauer, ESPN anchor Charlie Steiner, former New Jersey senator Robert Toricelli and lawyer Jim Johanson.

Here’s a pretty good laboratory scenario to see if Rahm goes after a Yes Vote on Obamacare with somebody who has the same (I myself would say more serious) kind of clear sexual-ethics problem that a No Vote (Massa) had.
Wonder if Harwood keeps his wig on during their ‘private’ moments....
Just asking...
I was just thinking—being a senator may be even better for your sex life if you’re a woman instead of a man. (At least you’re still more rare!)
Well it looks as if one Senator found a useful purpose for the press. Can this be spun as “sexual predation” on part of the Senator? I mean, if some ugly old male senator was doing a female reporter, how would the press cover that angle?
I hear the next scandal coming out of Washington will be Arlen Specter and Helen Thomas. Just close your eyes and picture that...
A list of lovers and probable lovers makes one wonder if she has Kennedy DNA in her blood and certain organs:

To make a reasoned judgment on Harwood’s guilt or innocence, don’t we also need to see a picture of Mrs. Harwood?
“Sen. Cantwell is voted “Sexiest Senator” by the readers of Huffington Post.”
Oh please. And the competition is what...Boxer, Snowe, Collins......
She could just as well have been voted “least grotesque to think about nailing!!”
Was Cantwell a no vote?
What gets me is the sobbing thing. Years ago I had an affair with a young married woman. Her husband found out and confronted me. I would have completely understood if he had taken a swing at me and in fact I would have even had some respect for him if he had. Instead he came and started sobbing about how much he loved her and pleading for me to stop seeing her. Did not issue so much as an “or else.” I cannot put into words into how much contempt and disdain that made me feel for him. Here I was wrong yet feeling contempt for the person I had wronged. To make it worse, when I told his wife about it she felt the same contempt for him. She would have felt completely different if he had come at me swinging and tried to kick my ass.
Now we have this guy and his solution for when he gets caught is to start sobbing like a little girl. He might as well have shown his frilly pink panties.
Hey, the real news story here is that you have somebody at NBC, a guy, who has sex with a woman!
Now,that’s some hardwood!!
GAWD!!! Figures. Libtards have NO standards.
No...but she does get around, and without a lot of, let’s say, discrimination.
Dude... was that really necessary? I was going to go out for lunch. Now it’s all ruined. As a matter of fact I may be unable to consume any food the rest of the day.
You're correct. It would take some kind of angel or maybe a fairy godmother to get Cantwell up to par.
Harwood would leave Cindy for Maria?
I’d say he’s guilty to the umpteenth degree!
