Typo Boy, I agree with you on the stupid. He was stupid for lying about it and continuing to run. But, the reason we would have to worry about a President McCain in that case is because Americans are irrationally concerned and judgmental about who is sleeping with who. As a society we somehow feel betrayed by a man sleeping around. Why do we feel betrayed? He didn't cheat on us.

And Matt, your Enron example is our business because it defrauds the public at large since that affected energy prices and the stock market. The CEO sleeping with his admin is none of our business.

That is a risk he had no right to take.

???

Holy absolutism, Batman. No, I think he has the right to mess up his marriage just the same as the rest of us.

Stands in the ita corner, and also in the "she may have condoned it" corner, where I bet Dan Savage is standing.

IsportsN, Cubs win! Cubs win! Took them 11 innings, but they finally beat the Cardinals. If they can at least win this series (sweeping it would be best!), they have put significant space between them and the third-place Cards in the standings. I'm still leery about hoping they'll get to the playoffs (been burned too many times), but I have more expectations now than I did a month ago.

Holy absolutism, Batman. No, I think he has the right to mess up his marriage just the same as the rest of us.

And the right to risk President McCain? I mean he could have disclosed before running. But to run with something out there that can be found and used against him? How is that absolutism. In case like that you disclose so you take your hit or get past it before trying for the nomination.

The researchers made exactly that point in their paper, megan. They just a correlation; they can't say what it's caused by.

See what I get for not actually clicking on the link and reading? I have parenting on the brain though, mainly because last night's Bullshit! was on "Stranger Danger".

There are people I would like as my president and people I would like as a spouse. These are rarely the same people.

Yeah, I agree. He had every right to take that risk. Just kinda sucks, for me in a political sense, that he did.

And the right to risk President McCain?

Yes! It might make him an idiot, but how does the word "right" even begin to figure into it? That's hyperbole of the highest order, and ill-serves your argument.

Fact is, neither of us know what it looks like from the inside, but for some reason he thought he could get away with it, or that it was worth the risk. Two consenting adults makes it at worst a bad idea. Maybe even a very bad idea. But if he has no right to risk President McCain, shouldn't we be taking more concrete steps against the anti-Christ? I mean, if it had just been one man's zipper standing between us and the end of all we hold dear...

There are people I would like as my president and people I would like as a spouse. These are rarely the same people.

Absolutely. Marital infidelity has nothing to do with the job.

Every girl who read Misty of Chincoteague just sighed with envy, CaBil.

I've got to read that book, because it seems that virtually all the women I have talked to have done the same thing Ginger....
