I'm sure they pay their taxes and arent involved with any other sort of illicit activities

More a rhetorical question than anything else. Probably don't want to go down that road here anyway.

Legal, illegal, married, not married, etc. -- moot discussion. Very interesting perhaps, but moot. The fingers of hypocrisy are certainly very ironic. I wasn't expecting his resignation, but certainly expected the rumors to be flying.

yeah, it is. he ran on an ethics ticket. hilarious. but then any time anyone points the finger and shouts 'sinner'...they better look to themselves, as everyone else will be.

I think along with the "ethics" arrow in your quiver, the "Sheriff" mentality is well received by the public. However, in this case, I kind of remember him (as AG) being involved in busting up a couple of prostitution rings and/or related activities. Not that it makes it better or worse, nor I do think it's an issue as it relates to what he did -- but I guess we will soon see where this goes. While I have no criminal law background, regardless, I am really not sure of the potential "legal" ramifications here.

What gets me is the arrogance of people like this. Did he really think in the back of his mind "I can do this and get away with it"?

Hell no....deep down he had to think, on more than one occasion, "If I get caught, im f*cked" (no pun intended)
