Whether he has an "R" or a "D" behind his name, he is a ****tard and has no business representing the U.S. people.

The big difference here: the "R" will leave office over this. Rather decent of him.

A "D" however will NOT leave office over this. and he will flaunt it for good measure. Further the "D" will parade his wife out to say she stands by him. and in spite of all the evidence the "D" will get re-elected.

Well, even Eliot Spitzer was too much over the line.

It's not the philandering that bugs me so much as the amateurish incompetence of it all.

Pinged-out by gawker no less.

Dumbass.

This is every bit as funny, with a dark sense of humor as all the other male sex scandals we seem to have. Actually this is so common today few raise an eyebrow anymore.

So woman want equality, how about one or a half dozen get caught bent over some young Lobbyists desk. Hillery,-- get off that young lady.

Darn I want something really juicy, say Nancy Palosi is telling friends she has turned Barney Frank straight. Gays are outraged and deny her story.

The Presidents wife seems to be into stalking members of the Harlem Globe Trotters.  Obama stands by his wife holding her hand as she admits she has a thing for those young men and is in treatment at this time.

Come on Girls, time to whoop it up, I am so tired of the men having all the fun.
