John Edwards; privacy; hypocrisy
Larry Craig was a story *because* of his personal hypocrisy AND his party's hypocrisy.
GWB & Condi is not a parallel to John Edwards & Wotsername. It's more like Robert Gates & Susie Smith having an affair-&-love child; i.e., well-known, well-respected white male in high position (tho' Edwards isn't in a high position, yet, and now probably won't be) having affair w/ quite unknown white (i think) female.
I'm not certain, of course, but I think you wld probably just move on--*unless* you wanted to destroy Gates' reputation. That's why I didn't pick Chertoff or Mukasey as examples in a parallel situation.
