Toms Daschle is "deeply saddened" while Robert Byrd says "at least the marriage wasn't interracial".

The governor's press secretary, Amy Shuler Goodwin, said the situation will not affect his re-election plans, and added Wise has no intention of resigning.

And why should he? He hasn't done anything wrong. It's only Republicans that can do the wrong thing. Besides, we all already know all the answers - it's all about sex, it's a smear campaign, etc, etc, etc.

I had no idea that infidelity was to your family. Silly me, I thought it was your SPOUSE that got cheated on.

European operations for the West Virginia Development Office?

What W. Va. products are hot sellers in Europe, please list.

Kennedy paved the way and slick willy picked up the stick.....

[Mr. Bird]

Angela Mascia-Frye, 35, oversees European operations for the West Virginia Development Office. The Daily Mail reported that she had accompanied Wise on a trip to Spain last year.

A state full of dirt farmers and coalminers shouldn't be wasting their tax dollars on crap like this. Forget the adultery, where's the outrage about the WV Development Office and its European operations?

"...a man was accusing the governor of having had an affair with his estranged wife."

What a thing to do to an about-to-be-former brother-in-law............

[goldstategop]

Its the Monica thing. Of course the Dems will say its just about sex and its time to move on.

[geedee]

Now, now, the guy's just laying the groundwork to run for President in 2008. All Dim-Dems need this on their resume.

I take it this guy has been taking lessons from Gov. Patton of adjoining Kentucky. Was he weeping?

Angela Mascia-Frye, 35, oversees European operations for the West Virginia Development Office. The Daily Mail reported that she had accompanied Wise on a trip to Spain last year.

Parris Glenspending's similarly state-employed honey ended up marrying the governor. (She also took official trips with him before his prior marriage ended.)

"I believe in accountability.

Oh, Bull! You are only fessing up Senator, because her husband squealed

I also hope one day for forgiveness, but I know that forgiveness must be earned."

I have news for you Senator. Forgiveness is given. It's respect and sometimes trust that must be earned. You've squandered both.

Philip Frye, 40, of Hugheston told the Daily Mail that Wise had an affair with his wife, Angela Mascia-Frye. Frye, a musician, also said he hoped to sell the story because of financial strains.

This is why Wise came clean. The wronged husband was going public.

According to the Almanac of American Politics, Wise is "renowned for his clog dancing".

[green team 1999]

the president is innocent! is all about sex,consenting adults, vast right wing conspiracy!
oh ah the governor is innocent!(sarcasm off)

[aristeides]

According to the Almanac of American Politics, Wise won the 2000 gubernatorial election with critical support from the West Virginia teachers' unions, the United Mine Workers, and Robert Byrd.

WV has a long history of either corrupt or incompetent Governors. Wasn't it Caperton who lived in Maryland while Governor of WV?

[mabelkitty]

What does KKK Byrd have to say about this?

[mountaineer]

Gov. Hotlips Wise:

[Timesink]

"That little weasel-faced bastard," [the woman's husband] said. "Typical Democrat."

"OOOOOGAH! I'm just a love machine, and I won't work for nobody but you! Well, and you. And you. And you too baby."
