Not that I give a stuff about anything *any* politician says, but this is nice and convenient for him...

"believes in "a God of second chances".

That came in handy.

I wonder if he thought that before he got caught.

You could tell him to "Take a hike!" but he might interpret that instruction differently from what you really meant.

And a good proportion of those that are making a big deal of it, including much of the media, are doing so because they don't like his politics and would happily use any issue to attack him.

Politicians deserve anything they get.

Anything bad that is.

Not nice things, like cake. They don't deserve that.
