He has been known as a womanizer all his life, and it was known all during his presidential campaigns. I am not making "light" of his adultery or anyone's, don't get me wrong. If it suited his wife to ignore/pretend, I was okay with that. What I'm NOT okay with is Mr. Clinton parading to church week after week clutching his wee bible and lying through his shiny white teeth. His sexual behaviors and the public discussions taking up months/years of airtime and energy that should have been devoted to important things.
Think how different it could have been! A little discretion, a little self-control OR a little manly honesty could have saved him.
It's not Party to me. I don't care which party these clowns belong to: because there, at least, they are all the same.
Edwards bothers me more because he is, as River and others have pointed out, such an obvious lightweight. There is nothing to weigh him down, he is a caricature of a man on the make and his arrogance brought him down before he could do much real harm.
People want to know too much about politicians nowadays. There is no privacy, and that probably keeps some people out of the running because either they do care that their private affairs become public, or they just don't want to expose their famlies to that level of scrutiny. We are luckier up here in that the PM's family is not a public matter, and anyway, who'd have an affair with Mr. Harper?
