Ah, that’s different! Romney’s a Republican. It’s a public service to expose Republicans.
Besides, a lot of people in both camps (left and right) just don’t think it serves any higher purpose to expose a man while his wife is struggling with terminal cancer.
If it were a Republican they probably couldn’t help themselves, but there’d still be backlash.
Mrs. Edwards most probably knows her husband is a dirtbag. Just as Mrs. Clinton knew her husband was a lying cheating pos.
But she stays with the dirtbag to continue her position in society.
Also Mrs. Edwards cancer though eventually terminal is not taking her out any time soon. So you should hide this character flaw until that time arrives?
One more thing. At least Mr. Spitzers little lady thing was an attractive playmate. Unlike Mr. Clinton and Edwards who quite obviously have very poor taste in playmates.
