1. ah, right wing media attacks |
|
Make a black presidential candidate into a black nationalist, make a new blind black governor in the mold of eliot spitzer, and eliot spitzer's prostitute liasion makes him resign from office but not david vittier, the republican senator.

You obviously didn't read it. |
|
According to the OP article, the governor is the one saying he did have an affair. Here we go again.

sounds like they are getting out ahead of whatever the Press might rake up. I don't believe New Yorker's will think this is an 'issue'.

8. At least affair is not illegal. |
|
Oh dear. Seems like it's from the smoke and into the fire.

12. personal, private matter |
|
I wish they'd have kept it so, but if somebody was going to make it public, they did the right thing.

Third rate romance

Hell, a self-respecting (R) would have his boy holed up at The Four Seasons, at the least.

14. Nobody's business but theirs. |
|
No laws were broken. It's not the business of the people. How about the almost 4,000 dead troops? How about the war crimes? How about the millions of displaced people? How about the millions of orphas we've created. People who live in a glass nation shouldn't throw stones.

Sigh.

17. The governor and his wife gave an interview and |
|
admitted having affairs. The governor gave out details of where and when he was meeting his mistress. If people don't want others to talk about their private sex life, maybe they shouldn't be giving interviews about it.

18. His wife cheated, too, according to the article |
|
It looks like during a period of separation, they both had sex with other partners.
