Clinton and all the Kennedy's had their affairs. Bunches of politicians can't keep it zipped up. Then Letterman has been sexually exploiting, for years, young women on his staff and had to confess due to blackmail. Letterman is just an alleged comedian, so is of minor consequence. Politicians influence too much, and their actions are consequential. If you can't trust a man in small matters, how can he be trusted in consequential matters? What else are they lying about? If they are caught, it's like the drunk driver being caught. You know for sure it's not the first time he's driven drunk. If a politician is caught committing adultery, who else is he cheating on? I submit he cheating on the citizens he's been hired to represent. If a man can't be trusted to be faithful to his wife, how can he be trusted to govern honestly and with integrity?Steven Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299032034330006689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33445632.post-35714251726850824372009-10-27T15:33:03.326+01:002009-10-27T15:33:03.326+01:00This ancient proverb is so true and we can always ...This ancient proverb is so true and we can always appreciate the irony when it's still appropriately applied today. Basically it comes down to setting one's own standards. We shall see, for example, where this ultimately situates those who profess to defend- within limits- the principle of democracy. Or, regarding the press, the muck rakers who eventually find themselves inextricably submerged in their own quagmire.Mirinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762774089637304953noreply@blogger.com
