Public officials going astray

Recently we have had a bunch of former politicians who got in trouble with their sexual dalliances running once again for public office. The first was the former Governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford who lied to the people saying he was out of the office camping in the woods when he was in South America with his paramour. Next we have Eliot Spitzer who paid for expensive prostitutes using state money and finally Anthony Wiener who left office in disgrace having put pictures of his private parts on the Internet. The all-star of course was President Clinton who was messing around in the Oval Office while talking to a Congressman on the phone. All of these guys came out with public apologies and were forgiven. Now on to the story of Mayor Smith, who lived in a medium size Midwestern town. Things were in bad shape when he took office 8 years ago but today it is a different story. Everyone who wants a job has one and it pays a living wage. Graduation rates are up and dropout rates are down. Taxes are the lowest in history. There are two new fire houses and a new police station. Domestic violence is practically non-existent and crime rates are down as well as divorce rates. Mayor Smith is a shoe in for his upcoming third term and everyone loves him. The fact that he murdered his wife is not a problem since he apologized and after all that has nothing to do with his job. Isn’t everyone is entitled to a second chance?
