Media coverage jumps on political scandals, especially when sex is involved. Public interest is so focused on the emotional feed of what we identify as celebrities. It’s natural then for popular interest to leech onto powerful emotional secrets of our entrusted elected officials. I think privacy matters when it comes to public affairs. Former governors Spitzer(D-NY) and Sanford (R-SC) blow up in news feed as medication to the mass that we as a people are far from perfect. The question on my mind: who are any of us to judge?

Integrity runs high which might make a resignation feel appropriate, but our judicial system allows for courts to decide guilty or innocent. A marital affair is the emotional burden of a family unit.
