McCain, Clinton & Edward VIII: It's About Who You Are And Who You Slept With

Edward VIII had an affair with Mrs. Simpson. He abdicated his throne. Some think it was romantic. One fact is certain. People still talk about this episode in Britains history of monarchs.

Senator John McCain has been accused of having an affair with a "lobbyist" . McCain is being verbally stoned in the press. Bill Clinton had an affair with an over-sexed, star-struck intern. He was impeached. Question. If McCain's And Clinton's paramours were somewhat cultured and refined would the public reaction have been mitigated? If McCain or Clinton were really in love would that have tempered opinion?

Maybe its because we think so little of McCain and Clinton to begin with that these illicit affairs are just more evidence of the lack of admiration and credibility these two gents deserve. We know particularly that Bill Clinton has and would screw anything that would stand still. Even if that meant that Bill would have to bite Juanita's lip!
