Not again...

1. ah, right wing media attacks

Make a black presidential candidate into a black nationalist, make a new blind black governor in the mold of eliot spitzer, and eliot spitzer's prostitute liasion makes him resign from office but not david vittier, the republican senator.

You obviously didn't read it.

According to the OP article, the governor is the one saying he did have an affair.
Here we go again.

[stillcool]

26. as did his wife...

sounds like they are getting out ahead of whatever the Press might rake up. I don't believe New Yorker's will think this is an 'issue'.

5. and let's not forget Larry Craig

[TAWS]

6. Well I think having an affair is worse than prostitution

[LisaL]

8. At least affair is not illegal.

Oh dear.
Seems like it's from the smoke and into the fire.

[davidinalameda]

2. you want to post the meat of the article

they BOTH had affairs

[LisaL]

11. I don't know that the fact they both had affairs makes it better.

[davidinalameda]

28. they were having marital troubles

anyway, who gives a rat's butt

it's a shame when we can't let people private lives separate from their public service

3. no WAY!!!

oh that's got to make the puritan's heads explode

[zonkers]

15. Legally blind and still getting busy. Alright.

[LTR]

4. He handled it right

He and his wife came out in the open immediately. The story will die quickly.

9. It's no big deal.

[RememberWellstone]

7. OMG!!! No way?

Are you serious?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. Oh My God I Don't Believe That Wasn't A Joke.

That is just too fuckin funny!

:rofl:

[rug]

21. At least we know THAT didn't make him blind.

OK I'll do it myself.

:spank:

[Orangepeel]

12. personal, private matter

I wish they'd have kept it so, but if somebody was going to make it public, they did the right thing.

13. The Days Inn?

Third rate romance

Low-rent rendevouz


Hell, a self-respecting (R) would have his boy holed up at The Four Seasons, at the least.

[TahitiNut]

14. Nobody's business but theirs.

No laws were broken. It's not the business of the people. How about the almost 4,000 dead troops? How about the war crimes? How about the millions of displaced people? How about the millions of orphas we've created. People who live in a glass nation shouldn't throw stones.

[Muttocracy]

16. apparently those are just too icky to talk about

Much easier to be obsessed with other people's private sex lives.

Sigh.

[LisaL]

17. The governor and his wife gave an interview and

admitted having affairs. The governor gave out details of where and when he was meeting his mistress.
If people don't want others to talk about their private sex life, maybe they shouldn't be giving interviews about it.

[Muttocracy]

27. I thought the article said it was in response to rumors circulating? nt

[Noisysilence]

18. His wife cheated, too, according to the article

It looks like during a period of separation, they both had sex with other partners.

[Kittycat]

19. Why is this in GDP?

[stillcool]

23. strange isn't it?

:shrug: I hate to say what I'm thinking.

20. Let's start putting GPS tracking devices on the penises on all of our male politicians.

We have the right to know!!!

[CitizenLeft]

25. thank you so much for that visual

:rofl:

[Upton]

22. Next they'll be saying he attended Rev. Wright's church

Seriously though, this was years ago, most relationships have problems. What's the big deal?

[Sulawesi]

24. So what...

[anonymous171]

29. WTF!?

That's a joke right?
