Today's Blind Items - Cheater Candidate
I get the sense that most politicians, male and female cheat on their significant others. They generally don't get caught unless their cheating involves hookers or future porn stars. If you are with someone who is selling themselves, chances are good they will sell information too. If you keep your cheating confined to staffers or lobbyists you don't usually get busted. Unless they do something stupid. This up and coming Presidential candidate did just that. He used a credit card from his political party to pay for trips for his mistress. For some reason he didn't think the names of the people on the airline tickets would ever be publicized. He was under the impression that only the actual charge for the ticket would ever be seen. So, when the news breaks about why the married politician was buying plane tickets for his mistress and shacking up with her in hotels he also charged to the political party, he is going to have a lot of explaining to do. Or maybe he won't. At this point, I think we would all be more surprised to find a politician who was not cheating. Still though, it is tough to do the whole family values thing when you are cheating. Oh, and did I mention that his mistress is a lobbyist and that he gave her organization very special treatment.
