    Default John Edwards Had An Affair.......AND?

    Is it me or is it silly to decide our leaders on whether they've cheated? Most people are very different in their private lives than on their job. As long as you're not doing anything illegal what's the diff?

    I think it's pretty stupid too. What he does in his personal life, even though it may be wrong, doesn't affect his leadership skills.

    George W. Bush vs. William Jefferson Clinton.

    Given the way the country operates, I think I'd rather have a president who gets laid.

    At which point he goes from good leader.... to great leader. Because we all know there is nothing better than angry sex followed by makeup sex.

    While I do think someone's private life should remain private, I disagree that leaders & politicians' behavior vary differently from public to private. If you have the capacity to disregard the feeling of your wife or family, whom are supposed to be the most "important" priority in your life, is it really "silly" for your supporters to question on whether or not you may end up cheating them??

    Not saying said person will, but once you're in office, your private life is fair game. IMO.

    I think he's been doing the admirable thing. He may have wanted to stay together to support his kids and ailing spouse but still need a level of emotional intimacy they no longer shared as a couple. Clearly his performance as a leader never suffered.


    After having been in a few multi-year relationships I see how you can love someone but be growing in very different directions.

    yanno, i always have said "what did clinton do WRONG?" because i seriously don't understand how he did anything wrong as PRESIDENT. people say well he lied. well ok how many people do you know who don't lie? and seeing as how it was NONE OF OUR BUSINESS anyway i think he had the right to lie.

    Let's see, he was being sued in a court of law. He lied in *and out of) court. His lieing could have denied someone justice.

    Gov of NY Paterson (replaced our favorite spitzer) admitted to an affair right off the bat. seems a bit odd but when your predecessor was kicked out for screwing, you have to prioritize disclosures apprporiately..

    If you're being sued in court and have committed acts that would benefit the other party, you should have the right not to have it brought up?
