ZOMG! An honest politician? Naw, he must be lying about something more scandalous than an affair.

I have always been fond of the "let's get this out of the way right up front so we can defuse it" approach.

How does everyone think Obama has handled his relationship with his controversial pastor? How has the media handled it?

does anyone CARE???? frankly, i could care less how many people these men have screwed around with. i am sure there a LOT of people in positions of authority, such as commissioners, superintendents, preachers, the managers of bi-lo...who have screwed around on their wives. WHO CARES! as long as they get the job done then leave their past where THEY left it...in the past.

to me this is right up there with gays. i could care less who they are "doing" it with, keep it at home and not in politics or in my face.

as for spitzer...there must be a lot of money involved if the wife "stands by her man" after all this. what a looser.

At least we can't accuse Paterson of looking the other way when a scandal arises!
