I have never liked him. Never. And this just doesn't surprise me. I don't believe he 'made a mistake' or 'error in judgement' - he made a choice. That is an entirely different thing. Just like Clinton, Gingrich, Spitzer, McGreavy, Foley, etc etc etc... and all the other politicians who have made the slimey ego-centric choice of betraying an intimate vow. They get caught and they deserve every bit of fall-out that occurs from it. It is a pity that they are so narcissistic that they don't care what it will do to their families when they get caught. It makes me want to spit. I wouldn't walk across the street to pee on them if they were on fire. If a politician can't abide by a vow to their ill spouse, how in the world can they be seriously believed when it comes to a vow to an entire country of people? He obviously has no qualms about disloyalty and betrayal on the most personal level. When they are running for the highest (or any) office in our country, I believe that we do not turn a blind eye to it. It speaks volumes about the depth and integrity and trustworthiness of the person. How people act in their personal lives and their level of personal responsibility and sound judgment is the basis we start with as a species and a society to determine the trustworthiness, dependability and integrity of those we allow to be in our lives or choose to affiliate with, whether they are family, neighbor, business owner, civic leader, community leader, or national leader. I am such an old-fashioned square I guess, but I truly wish our society lived by the values of of the Boy Scout and Girl Scout promises, oaths and laws - like we used to strive to 4 or 5 decades ago...
