I am glad to hear it!

I wonder if anyone is going to give him any heat in his community for cheating on his wife.

I commented on another post about the Kass column in Wed's Tribune. Lot of women from his constituency are very mad!! Funny though, how the angle seemed to be they're angry because he cheated with a caucasian blonde rather than he just plain cheated.

That has been and always will be the kicker in these type of scandals.

No surprise here. Between the Blago crap and the mistress allegation he had no chance anyway.

"Jackson...also acknowledged he'd had a female "social acquaintance.""

How many of us ask personal questions about a politians personal life before electing them? When we hire someone for a job, do we ask questions about their marriage? No. the same should go for polititians unless there is hypocresy involved.

Lets keep it real when looking at qualifications of our elected officials and not feed into select sensationalism.

I don't trust elected officials that lie to their wife.
