Villaigarosa cheats on his wife, Newsom cheats on his wife, Spitzer next. at least the mayor of LA and of SF didnt consort with hookers AS FAR as we know.



Oh well.

9. Honestly, a public official should always resign after having broken the law.
Soliciting prostitutes is against the law and he should resign. I also maintain politicians should resign after major failures such as Bush after Katrina. It's the only decent thing to do.

2. exactly. All this serves to remind us is: Politics is a dirty game
Dems can be just as morally-challenged and corrupt as the Repugs.

Villaraigosa hooked up with a newscaster, though. Does that count?

4. Which pretty much makes them real people with real lives.
And what do you have against sex workers? Really, think before you stigmatize a whole class of working people.

5. True -- but the difference is they usually don't claim they are holier than
thou. Spitzer is different though.

8. 2 of those are from my state. makes me sad to think they are the best the dems have to offer
for gov after arnie is out. would be nice to have candidates who value their family and consitutents more than they value their genitals.
