Sounds like his prayers were answered.

From the clips I have seen of the press conference, she looked pretty wiped out.

I'd be surprised if she were ok with the prostitution. I'm just saying that the sex part of it is none of my business (and being ok with it in private certainly doesn't mean being ok with it being on the news).

There is still an aspect of dishonesty to his dealings with his wife. That's why it's our business. Because if he'll be dishonest with his WIFE, why the fvck would he care about being honest with thousands of nameless constituents who don't keep his house or give him nookie?

So it IS a problem when a politician is proven to be a lying, cheating bastard, and I'm sorry but it's NOT just his family's business. If he wants to go cavorting with whores, then he at least owes his wife a divorce first. That's the honest way to go about it.

Personally, I think if an elected public figure charged with enforcing law chooses to violate existing laws it is our business. I'm kind of a Magna Carta kind of guy.

Ancient history though it may be, I gather you won't be voting for McCain.

We all engage in personal dishonesties great and small and I don't see them as being in the same class as professional dishonesties. I've known dozens of people who were absolutely reprehensible people personally while being stalwarts of behavior and ethics professionally (and vice versa).

So no, I don't care if a politician is cheating on his wife. Like I said, I don't even know what arrangements they may have. Since I don't think prostitution should be a crime, I don't care if politicians do it. Just as I don't care if Bush is smoking weed every evening before going to bed or if Nancy Pelosi sells dildoes to her friends every time she's in Texas.

I do care about their decision making abilities however. And while I don't care about using prostitutes being caught doing so will, rightly or wrongly, have hugely negative consequences. And that is just poor decision making. And it is poor professional decision making (as well as, likely, poor personal decision making) and that isn't good.

Larry Craig called to congratulate him on taking the heat off and to concede the "I am the biggest idiot award."

All he had to say was that he was working undercover on a case that had never been, in his mind, closed.

I'm also sure that if we conducted a poll, we would find that there would be very, very few politicians who were not having naked Toga parties with high priced hookers. Or pages.

Still, an astonishingly beautiful fall from grace due to bad judgement.

And the girl will get her own talk show.

Or a record deal (since that is what she aspires to).

I've heard snipets of a song by her. While I am generally not a hip hop fan, I kinda liked her song.
