He's gotta be toast. If John Edwards dissolved over it, this guy will too (although Edwards was gettin' that ass while his wife had cancer, to add to the creepy factor).
Plus I guess he used to preach about the sanctity of marriage to his co-workers. lol... what a dirtbag. |

Drunk driving is a crime though, I think that was the main difference. With Spitzer too. |

in some states adultery is a crime. i think the bigger issue with fossella was the illegitimate child. |

Does anyone have a picture of Cynthia Hampton, the woman he had an affair with? I want to see what she looks like.
Believe it or not, I've searched far and wide, and haven't found any pics. It's like all the networks have the silent contract not to show her picture. What the ? |
