[Strangler Lewis]

I disagree with a lot of what you say, but the issue here isn't the sex. It's the money. I doubt New York will go after him for solicitation, and if he's indicted by the feds it probably won't be for a Mann act violation. It will be for bank fraud, illegal structuring of cash transactions, money laundering, etc.

To the extent he resigned because the incident tainted his reputation, it wasn't because he had marital lapses. It was because he had very expensive, Neroesque marital lapses. It's a tone deafness that makes John Edwards's $400 haircut seem sober.
