DC is crawling with young things in ardent pursuit of a Congressman, any Congressman. It’s a ‘power attracts’ thing.
I would say this has ruined his marriage, but it was probably not that healthy (at least from his perspective) if he was doing this. However, he has disgraced his wife in a very public way, and his child will have to live her life with the taint, as well. It will pass from the headlines, but not from their lives
So, again, why go to Craigslist and pretend to be a lobbyist?
I guess that is the single greatest motivator for me to remain faithful to my wife, I don't want to look my sons in the face and have to answer his question of "Why did you do that to us"?
