A good politician can be a bad husband. (Clinton)

Edwards may have made a huge mistake in his personal life, but that's his business...and his task to work out. What is a real shame is when a reasonably good politician's career is ruined because of infidelity.

I mean please, people...did you miss the part where Newt Gingrich admitted to having an affair with Callista Bisek at approximately the same time he was leading the congressional investigation of Clinton's affair with Lewinsky? I think infidelity is widespread amongst men with power.

What if we separate personal lives from political lives? What matters most is whether the politician in question is effective or not (and that answer will be different with various political views). I could care less if he/she has a girlfriend/boyfriend and a love-child. If my state/country is being served well - I really don't care.

I liked Cary's response. And I have a teenager (14).

SO much time is spent controlling teenagers. Put them in a school which puts them in a room and controls them. A school which tries very hard to fit them into a box and assigns bad labels to them when they do not fit. Make rules, rules, rules and punish them when they do not follow the rules.

I was a wild teenager who sneaked out of the house at night to see my boyfriend, smoked pot and drank. Retrospectively, my father was very emotionally distant and not affectionate. Seemed like nothing I could do made him proud of me. As an adult I concluded that at 16 I was seeking the attention I never got from my father in my boyfriends. Plus, I was never given any information (from either parent) about dating or relationships or how to judge whether a person is good or not or...anything before I was sent off into the world to fend for myself and hopefully make good choices.

I didn't - it took me years to figure it all out. I am breaking that chain with my daughter. I am doing my best to pass on the lessons it took me 30 years to figure out, in the hopes she will have a better start. I do this by talking about MY mistakes and lessons learned. It seems to be working so far and/or I am lucky; she's a wonderful teenager.

There is a need there that isn't being filled somehow for your daughter. I know parenting is tough, but look at your daughter as a person, not as something to control or fight against. The terms "adolescent" and "teenager" have such undeservedly bad connotations. They are doing the best they can...

Let this be one more letter of praise. Thanks for having the courage to go toe to toe with this hack. What fills the right with such hate I will never understand. I mean, were we (the left) blowing up anti-abortion movement offices during Bush's reign? I don't get it.

I recently had sex with a man who so understood the intimacy of touch, the close connection possible when sharing your body with another. What a breath of fresh air and delight to find! We played and talked and laughed, quite enjoying each other. They are out there, ladies. Look for the ones who say that "kissing is an art". Relating to this article - he watches very little porn. The watching is not the problem, I believe, and all men will always watch porn. It's the distinction between the porn and the real woman in their bed that trips many men up.

I so agree that communication is essential from both sides of the bed (or kitchen table - lol). Not only do you need to ask for what you want, but you need to ask what your partner likes. Sex would be so much better for so many people if they just did that!

So why doesn't the subtitle continue to say, "FBI data shows 11 percent increase in crimes based on sexual orientation..with shaky statistics that result in this headline sounding very misleading."

...and the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

His church is getting a tax deduction. Doesn't that just make you feel all warm and cozy inside?
