You seem to have missed the point I was trying to make. Adams lied publicly when asked about the relationship, he orchestrated a nasty PR campaign against the gay man who made the accusation, he lied to his supporters. He did NOT say "None of your business, next question please." I don't give a hoot who he or anyone else sleeps with--it's not my business. But I'm fed up with a process that honors and protects people who will say/do anything to get elected, and then hide behind "You wouldn't have believed me if I'd told the truth!" as an excuse.

I'm tired of being lied to by politicians, and I'm especially tired of being told that being lied to is acceptable. Let's get some personal responsibility and credibility back in the game.
