Regarding Ben Stein's article on John Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter, I agree that history is replete with examples of leaders whose extramarital affairs in no way diminished their competence to lead. Notably missing, however, from the examples of cheaters Stein listed was that of presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain.

It's fine with me if Republicans such as Stein want to opine about the Edwards scandal. But lets remember that adultery is not limited to Democrats. And McCain wouldn't be the first President guilty of stepping out on his wife.

If there's any difference between Edwards' and McCain's behavior, it is that, so far, the former North Carolina Senator has not abandoned his wife and children.

McCain's mistress, however, is now poised to become the First Lady. And the children from his first marriage are conspicuously absent from the campaign trail.
