...pilot's license only 15 months ago, now found himself flying a plane that might as well have had no windows at all. The first rule pilots are taught in a vertiginous situation like this is to ignore the signals your body is trying to send. The inner ear is equipped with an exquisitely well-tuned balance mechanism, but it's a mechanism that's meant to operate with the help of other cues, particularly visual ones. Without that, the balance system spins like an unmoored gyroscope...

True, the President was caught diddling an intern at the White House, but all that happened was it cost Newt Gingrich his job. You think any other country could come up with a scenario like that? Could Canada...
