There was reference to 10's of thousands of text messages in the clip, that were sent/received on a government issued Blackberry. I'm guessing that this many text messages would have been looked into, during internal or external audits, due to cost. There's no reason a mature individual like this, would need to text so often.

The video wouldn't load for me. What was it that happened?

I know, but this was back in 2002 and 2003. That is why I am curious that it came out now...and not during the election a couple of years ago, when he almost lost...and would have if this all came out.

Yeah if you're a public figure the past can come back to haunt you because gossip sells, if you are a regular Joe it's life as usual. No one gives a rat's azz about non-public figures.

Maybe he is up for re-election?

I recall in the past, having to dig up years and years of information, for assorted regulatory and criminal investigations, for clients and employees. Any records beyond 7 years is legally destroyed, although not everyone destroys old records to save space.

 

People can be so dense sometimes, in that everything is tracked through some form of technological means. Whatever you do, is and can be tracked by big brother in one form or another. If you're a public figure or not, why would you risk everything for a little instant gratification?

 

I will never get or understand peoples' stupidity...

Some people have more to gain than to lose, and that's not stupidity that's just living life to the fullest. If you don't take risks in life you will never progress.

Progress into what?

 

Thre are other things in life that people can take "risks" on.

Into a better more fulfilling relationship, that's what. It doesn't turn out like that for a lot of people but for some it does. I speak from experience.

True, but it's best to be with only one person at a time... don't you agree?

Living life to the fullest? Wow. How about a little good old fashioned restraint? It is stupid for someone to not stop and think of possible consequences. I hope his dumb ass winds up in court for lying under oath.

 

But why? He settled the score with his family and his W so what's the use of having him pay some public debt to society making a statement for all betrayed people in the world. That's bullcrap. His infidelity does not affect his career so who cares? As long as his W is ok with it and they have come to ammends who cares what everyone else thinks? His infidelity is no indication of whether he is cut out to do the job as a politician . Besides show me ONE politician that has not cheated, lied or twisted truths in their favour and I will show you a pig that can fly. LOL Furthermore I would be more concerned with looking for a way to correct a system that votes people into office WITHOUT people's votes, or that lets famous athlete murderers walk the streets freely, than to penalize some sap who lied under oath about and infidelity. Gimme a break! If he does try to run just don't vote for him, why should he go to jail for 15 years? to pay for all the cheated people out there? LOL

Mayor Guilianni who was mayor of new york dumped his wife on national tv for his mistress who he had the affair with.

Yeah but he was damn good at what he did, when he was mayor of NY. So does the public want a model husbna/man or a good man for the job to run the city, because perfect human beings really don't exist.

Yup I agree. Unfortunately sometimes life does not develop in the "best" of ways so you take what you get and you make the best with what you have and better can come out of it.

I would like my mayor to be good at both.

 

If he can lie to his wife, he absolutely will lie to me! I'll never vote for the guy because he is too corrupt. I think you could replace him with a more moral person and get the same if not better results.

I would want a great leader not a scumbag of gulianni, to be in office. He was so corrupt and evil when he was mayor.

 

And me as a lifelong new yorker myself will vote against him!

Yes in theory that is a good thing to strive for, in practice however I think a healthy dose of acceptance that they WILL lie to us leaves less room for disappointed. It's a fact. The campaigns alone are sheer lies, the way they sell themselves is through lies, I don't see why it would stop at their actual performance PLUS I don't see people quesitoning that. A lot of people go in a vote blindly for candidates and really have no clue what's truth and what's lies and all it would take is education on the voter's part, educating yourself on the candidate...yet people blindly vote anyway so to get some prespective on the overall picture, lies are part and parcel of the job.

Well there you have it, if you can get the same results from a moral immoral it doesn't really matter how they live outside of their job it boils down to the image they want to portray and what we want to see or how it affects us psychologically.Is Bush better for the US than Clinton? Morality does not equal capability when it comes to preforming of a work role but it is easier to trust someone who is moral. Are they better for the job? meh..it's all debatable...

The good news, is that we get to choose.

 

When something better presents itself, handle your business before things develop. The scales of life should balance, and when you throw them out of alignment too far at some point you will pay.

Self-restraint in any public figure is a good thing, in my books, in that it might help you control the urge to make free of public coffers. Spouting morality and truly living morality are entirely different things. You can either take the high road or live in the gutter. Your choice in life.

As a matter of fact, this "indiscretion" did affect his job. If you watch closely, you will notice that he lied under oath when asked during a hearing if was romantically involved with her. Why? Because it had an impact on the work they were doing for that hearing. So, yes, this became a public affair.

 

Normally, I would agree. If this had been resolved with his wife and did not affect his public career, then it does not need to be made public. But when it involves perjury (which is more than simply lying about an affair, no matter who you define perjury), then it becomes something that affects the career and the people he is given charge over.

 

And no, I don't think he is up for election for quite awhile yet. But a couple of years ago when he was up for reelection (and almost lost), it came out that he bought a SUV for his wife using public money.

No, I refuse to simply accept bad behavior from my leaders! Why settle?

 

I don't evaluate my leaders simply based on what they do in their jobs. This is a person who will represent me to the world. Liars always get trapped in their own web!

 

Yes, most US voters are stupid. It's the price we pay for universal sufferage.

Apparently, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty." means three different things to this guy...

This stinks....look who loses HER job over this. Will the mayor suffer, too, or is it the woman who gets all of the heat...as usual?

On Wednesday night, Kilpatrick released a statement to the media expressing his embarrassment at the release of the messages and asking the public to respect his family's privacy.

 

"These five- and six-year-old text messages reflect a very difficult period in my personal life. It is profoundly embarrassing to have these extremely private messages now displayed in such a public manner.

 

Uh, yeah!?
