re: #1 Destro

Why not? There was no illegal activitey done just sexual stuff. America has an immature attitude towards sexuality. In France this would be a forgotten scandal already.

I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, yes, you’re right, as far as US attitude toward sex goes. On the other hand, can someone who betrayed the trust of a spouse be trusted not to betray the trust of the public? That point isn’t one that has anything to do with sex, in my opinion, and is worth thinking about.
