Is This News? Sanford and his Affair

Is this news worthy? Another person that was placed into a position of power who has an affair. Well in some aspects it is yes and in some aspects it is no. No because the rate of a person in a relationship on having an affair is somewhere around 15% for men and 10% for women, and if they are in politics is closer to 50%. So why is this news worthy? because he is in politics and voters put him in there, and expect a certain standard from them. However, we are all human and he is just as subject to do humanly things as others, this will probably just hurt his career. Reportedly she lives south of the equator in Argentina and got caught because he said he was going on a hike and was gone for around 4 days. So this is somewhat news worthy and now that it is out, lets move on to more pressing matters than affairs.
