I\u2019m thinking of Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Edwards and Anthony Weiner. Of course they are only the latest that have made news because of their sexual indiscretions. Two years ago it was me, John Ensign and Mark Sanford; so I can relate. The story of my extramarital affair, exposed by my own indiscretions and a poorly planned extortion attempt, made headlines for about 14 days, most of them \u201cabove the fold,\u201d meaning on the top half of the front page of newspapers, on the front AOL, in People magazine and on countless websites. The other politicians I mentioned had higher profiles than me so the coverage they received was even more extensive. Believe me, it wasn\u2019t a pleasant experience and I don\u2019t wish it upon anyone. But sin oftentimes produces severe consequences. In reliving these headlines and even writing about them, I could not help but make a couple of relevant observations."}
