YAWN: Another Washington Sex Scandal

The world isn't transparent; we never completely know how well these people do their jobs, or what other figs they're plucking.

I don't think because someone cheats on their wife they are going to lie about everything.
If we get rid of the stigma of sexual behavior and giving a damn if someone is divorced, gay, sleeping around, dating or not, then they will be able to leave their wives before dating around if they are not happy in their marriage, instead of trying to maintain the image of the perfect, ridiculous, xian, family that so many feels means "something".
Get rid of that bullshit, and then they can leave their wives whenever they want.
Finally, even if they do cheat on their wives, that has nothing to do with their integrity elsewhere.

I, for me, do not lie anywhere in my life, even the "how does this look on me" crap. Those in my life know not to expect me to lie about those. If it makes you look bad, I tell you. An aunt asked me once if she looked like she had gained weight... I still hear about that "episode".
However, I don't think that most do that or should. If you can lie about how she looks in a dress you can separate your personal life and your business life.
As long as they have a good track record professionally, I will vote for them.

Jews, Muslims, Buddists, et al, don't have images of what family life should and shouldn't be?
