What I don't get is the obsession with the media and others about what a politician cares to do in their private bedrooms. As Pierre Trudeau so eloquently stated.."The State has no business in the bedrooms of the Nation.". JFK....ya he had a uhhhh..'zipper problem' as well as did/do many of his relatives. That doesn't make him any less of an amazing President, IMHO. Same with Clinton..I thought it was so unfair what they did to him. I think many didn't like him because he had/has a wife who is just as smart, if not more, then him.IMHO..
