Resign?

Much as I dislike politicians lying, people are entitled to privacy about lawful activities in their private lives.

His strategy of lying, and asking his ex-boyfriend to lie, didn't work: it seems to have attracted the attack dogs of the press.

Leave off him. It should never have become public, so he should never have felt he needed to lie.

WHy Should I Care Who Sleeps with Who?

So....a mayor had an affair. Why do we care...why do we care if Clinton sleeps with an intern? That is between him and his wife and the intern. If this mayor didn't sleep with a minor, there is no problem other than the public's own nosiness. Stay out of people's beds!!!! Is he passing bad laws...is he stealing money from the city...is he lying about the government position he is elected to? Did he knock over a liquor store or rape a 2 year old???? Who cares if he likes younger guys....and why wouldn't he tell the kid to lie? Maybe he didn't want to smear the poor kid's reputation. Who cares? This is a stupid piece of news. In fact it isn't news...it is GOSSIP. Get over it folks. This type of thing has happened since the beginning of time. This sounds like a simple case of sex between two concenting adults and my nose has no business in it!!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.166.135.88 (talk • contribs)
