[telemann.livejournal.com]

Bill Maher wonders, how do we decide who gets to stay in politics after personal disasters, and those who are forced to leave. Consider: Nevada senator John Ensign (cheated on an aides wife and paid hush money to keep the affair quiet but didn't loose his job). John Edwards (cheated on his wife with cancer, and is no longer active in politics_, or former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (visited prostitutes several times as Governor of New York), but then Senator David Vitter was caught ordering call girls via his cell phone on the floor of Congress, but he didn't loose his job.
