Sounded fun until the cemetary part, that's just weird.

More fun than my halloween!!! Ouch! My lovely wife just whacked me. NCIS is having a bad effect on interpersonal relations.
I hope the "stripper" was really over 18.
Maybe the guy had a really weird pickup line.
Apparently no law was broken. Nothing odd about an old guy checking out a cemetary. Nothing odd about an old guy checking out a stripper. Combining the two is seriously creepy.

I like this comment on the story: "This man broke no law and it was unfair to ruin his career and family by making this public"
Yes... because it is the media's fault that a man (who knows that politicians are always being watched) decided to have some fun with a barely-legal stripper.
I am 18 and that guy is older than my grandfather. That is just wrong and disgusting. I just truly hope that she really is 18.

Does it matter? Please stop caring about other's personal lives. The only thing I give a damn about, regarding the politician, is his policies and how he carries them out. I don't give a damn whether he has South American mistresses or strip club employes.

Cast my vote in the "he didn't break any laws" camp. Also, if he's told no lies, how is this escapade important to citizens of state so much that he should have been fired? South Carolina's got some other problems to deal with; bad public schools in Charleston, rural poverty, a legislature throwing taxpayer money at the Boeing Company, and a Governor who may in fact may have broken laws about using state resources for private purposes.

Well, come on, it's almost certain that he did break the law; the problem is that it might be very difficult to prove it. He almost certainly violated South Carolina's anti-prostitution laws.

| got the head-slap, eh?
On a more serious note:
The reason why personal lives matter is that we want the people who are spending our money in government to have good character. Good character is all encompassing - if you don't have it in your personal life, how can you be trusted in your politicial life?
BigG - LOL.

But Hunt, how is "it almost certain that he did break the law?"
Has it been disclosed that money was offered or exchanged for the...er..uhm...shennanigans?

South Carolina is like the crazy/embarassing family member! We all have them and sometimes they rear their ugly head!

| I suppose that even though it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might really be an octopus.

He didn't do anything illegal-nothing to see. If I were him, I'd seriously consider a wrongful termination suit.

| Are we seriously going to believe that an 18 year old found him so attractive that she went to a cemetary with him for ****s and giggles, a cheap thrill? VERY doubtful.

Sometimes a younger woman will "take up" with an older man without any overt exchange of cash but in the expectation of a "quid pro quo" relationship.
Usually this does not involve a cemetary.
Maybe the stripper brought the cemetary into the relationship.
"This is where my previous boyfriend was laid to rest. He died with a smile on his face".
