In response to “Crosby’s Corner” by Greg Crosby, Article July 13, 2011 —
In your article “Sleaze in Office,” you failed to mention other “Sleaze bags—Yuk Politicians“ (your article named only three):
- Governor Mark Standford of North Carolina, adultery
- Senator John Ensign, adultery
- Governor Rudy Guiliani, adultery
- Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, solicited prostitution
- Councilman Mark Foley, pedophile
- Senator Craig of Idaho, pedophile and soliciting sex in a public restroom
- A congressman from New York, lewd acts on Internet
- A congressman from Livingston, sexual photos on Twitter
- A New York governor, solicited prostitution
- Congressman Newt Gingrich, adultery
Greg’s Response
She says I only mentioned three politicians; I mentioned six including Larry Craig, which she puts on her list as one not mentioned. I also made a point in my article of saying that, although there have been many, many cheaters in office, the ones I highlighted are even worse (for reasons I stated) than the run-of-the-mill adulterers. That was the whole point of the piece.
