Has everyone forgotten that Gary Hart's presidential bid was scuttled because of his liaisons with Donna Rice, and the headline, which read, "RICE CAUSES HART TROUBLE".

 RE: Rolling eyes at cheating stats

Yeah, I suspect that 90 percent number was simply pulled out of thin air. Most people take their marriage vows seriously. Some folks would like to believe cheating is very common, to minimize the impact of Clinton's and Kennedy's actions.

Who can tell why one affair is more despicable in the eyes of the public than another.  Perhaps it's just a matter of time giving us perspective & lessening the feeling of impact.  There's an interesting article re that here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/why-doesnt-john-mccains-a_b_117811.html  Discussing John McCain's affairs when married to his first wife as compared to John Edwards affair.
