Idaho Senator Larry Craig may be gay. No, this is not the shocking part in itself; what is shocking is his conduct towards gay and lesbians in politics. Some of his political decisions include voting against gay marriage and opposing any law that protects gay or lesbian victims of crime. He pleaded guilty to conduct misdemeanor…in the men’s room.

The senator has been representing Idaho for more than 25 years; his term will end in 2008. But Craig later took back his guilty plea saying that at the time of the incident, “I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions.” He added, “In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty.”

The married Larry Craig has always denied allegations that he was gay despite persistent rumors since the 1980s about his alternative sexual preference. These rumors had never been substantiated. but everyone of us knows the saying, “when there’s smoke, there’s fire”.

Last August 8, 2008, former presidential candidate John Edwards confessed to having an affair while his wife, Elizabeth was battling with a deadly form of cancer. He, however, denied that he fathered a child with Rielle Hunter. Edwards did not take the paternity tests but claims that the timing of the affair and birth did not correlate. A former Edwards’s campaign staffer has claimed the paternity for Hunter’s daughter. Frances Quinn Hunter, born last February 27, 2008 have no father’s name on her birth certificate.

Edwards was a contender for the Democratic Party’s nomination as a presidential candidate. He pursued their nod despite the fact that his wife already had cancer at this time. He dropped out of the race after he placed second in the caucuses. He was mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate, however.

David Bonior who was Edwards’s campaign manager said he was angry about this confession because it endangered John Edwards’s future in public service. But it seemed that the affair has been going on for some time. In 2006, Edwards’ committee paid $100,000 for a new firm run by Rielle Hunter. The company produced four YouTube web videos, one of which was just 2½ minutes in length.

Arnold Schwarzenegger needs no introduction. This Movie Star, Mr Universe and Governor of California has been accused of sexual misconduct and taking drugs.

The story of Arnold Schwarzenegger is very fascinating. He was born and brought up in Austria. He faced child abuse by his father. He also did not get along with his step-brother. He started his career in bodybuilding in Austria. As a child he always wanted to be rich and famous.

He won the Mr Europe title in London, which can be called as a turning point in his life. He was attracted to America, the land of opportunity. He immigrated to the US and despite his handicap of knowing little English and not having money, made it big in the US. He made a career for himself in various business ventures and movies.

He became a republican in 1985. He gradually rose in the hierarchy to become a candidate for the Governor of California in 2003. He won the elections. It was in this campaign that he was accused of sexual and personal misconduct with women. This scandal was dubbed Gropegate. Three women accused him of grabbing their breasts and three other women made even more serious allegations. British television personality Anna Richardson made similar accusations but the Governor’s aides stated to a magazine that the lady had encouraged the behaviour. This led to a libel lawsuit that was settled later.
