    Three things:

    -- The ugliness of infidelity aside, am I the only one that thought those letters were actually quite beautiful to read? Instead of the sexually overt parlance you typically expect in situations like this, all we get is a bunch of old-fashioned romantic love letters.

    -- If he actually did use state property to send these letters, then they should be fair game. Otherwise, they should not have been published -- that is an unfair invasion of privacy.

    -- It still boggles my mind how human beings can be so stupid as to lose all sense of reality because they've fallen into an emotional state of love with someone else, to the point of throwing their entire lives and careers to the wind just because you have to be with that other person RIGHT NOW. Infatuation is one hell of a drug. (The stupidity of falling into an extra marital affair, especially as a highly visible public official, and with a person living in another country no less, is another story altogether).

    Still no pics after all the hoopla?

    I mean come on where are all the Luis Scola fans from Argentina?

    The power of Clutchfans is at stake.

    Indeed. Keeping it a secret doesn't help, either, makes it more intense. I'm sure he had some kind of conscience and early on during the "emailing phase" with her, he probably thought that what he was doing wasn't right. Maybe he felt a little guilty. That's his conscience. That's the moment he has to go to his wife and tell her what he's been doing (assuming they speak to each other and that she isn't cheating on him, too). The infidelity, mentally, started way before the night he slept with her.

    Then, there's the stupidity.

    Me too.

    The funny thing about it is, his wife is probably more pissed about the e-mails than the actual sex. I mean really, thinking with your dick is one thing, but when your heart is suddenly involved in the matter, it's even more of a slap in the face to the wife.

    I'm more impressed that he is a cheating repub and wasn't caught with a guy.

    Not enough debating going on in here. Somebody defend infidelity already.

    If he didn't plagiarize the letters, he could still contend for nomination.

    They have name of the woman now but still no pictures? Where are all those reporters?

    Oh here is a first look! Maria Belen Shapur is her name.

    I don't think she is hot enough for him to ruin his career.

    In fairness, it's difficult to spellcheck with one hand.

    that's pretty clearly his wife and family doing a public appearance, lol, if not then I blame the media for really covering up a huge story for a long time.

    Is it every man's fantasy to have a middle-aged mistress who will appear in public with him and his children, with little red wagons in tow.

    It is bad for me to get this excited while at work.
