...Monday morning press conference, Wayne County's top prosecutor, Kym L. Worthy, charged Kilpatrick with eight felonies, including perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct for the text messages he allegedly traded with his paramour, Christine Beatty.

Of course, the guillotine of public shame is applied quite arbitrarily. Clinton was impeached while his sanctimonious accuser Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife in the cancer ward. Not that this is necessarily a partisan issue, either: Sen.
