Actually, I don't really care that he had sex with an escort - that's between him and his wife. I do find it to be greatly obnoxious that he labels it a "sin" and says God has forgiven him. That's mighty presumptuous (and really pandering to his conservative voters).

Apparently those principles are no match for the temptation of the flesh. Nice illusion while you could peddle it.
Originally Posted By ecdc Let's be clear, too. This wasn't someone at the office Christmas party who had too much to drink and did something stupid even though he was married. This was deliberate. He had to find out which escort service offered "bonuses" (do you know who to call in your town? I sure don't), he had to call, he had to make arrangements to meet someone, and he had to pay. This was a calculated, deliberate decision. Again, that's a decision he made and that's his business (and his family's). But don't publicly espouse legislation that promotes so-called values you yourself cannot uphold.
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Anyone been following the adventures of the Mayor of L.A.? Senor Villaraigosa had a year long affair. A very attractive Telemundo news anchor named Mirthala Salinas reported the story of the break up of the mayor's marriage. He then admits yep, he had an affair, it was with Salinas. Two other California politicians, state assembly speaker Fabian Nunez and L.A. City Councilman (and former state assemblyman) Alex Padilla then immediately came forward to say they too dipped into the Salinas waters, but they were uh, single when they did it. It now comes out that probably Salinas herself leaked the news because of Villaraigosa's involvement with yet a third woman, Sabrina Kay,a fashion designer who somehow got herself appointed to the L.A. City planning commission. All you single guys, do yourself a favor and google these women. He has good taste. All you married guys, be careful, they're dude magnets apparently. What makes this all so sad and full of irony is back in 1994 Villaraigosa was having marital trouble and separated from his wife after he was re-elected to the assembly. Seems he helped himself to the wife of a staffer on election night. And Villaraigosa isn't really his last name. His true last name is Villar and his wife's is Raigosa. As a way of showing their unity they combined their names upon marriage. His wife has filed dissolution papers, and wants her name back. One more thing. Villaraigosa is the co-chair of Hillary Clinton's campaign. Why Darkbeer didn't link to this with some lurid thread title is beyond me. I reported here in the interests of being fair and balanced. And don't even get me started on the ethical lapses of L.A. City attorney Rocky Delgadillo, another (horrors!) democrat.

Hmmm, I guess that's one way to get around the two-term limit.
