Big deal, its just another sex scandal.  I guess if you look at these types of behavior and take them at their face value then so what. Yes this would be the case if you are a selfish insensitive person that has a mind overwrought with ego and fueled by power and greed. It is fodder for the pundits, and since they think they are not victims of the sexual scandals perpetrated by politicians, its accepted by the ever apathetic public as  nothing more than business as usual. There is never any... Read Full Story
