Friday night scandal and strife blogging, political edition

On a totally unrelated note, Guam started voting 23 minutes ago.

Well, it seems my governor's marital problems have forced him to move out of the house, which in this case means the Governor's Mansion. Not that you couldn't have seen this coming. Back in early April, the Las Vegas Gleaner noted that Gov. Gibbons (a Republican who the Gleaner calls Governor Pervus A. McSkantard in honor of an incident with a cocktail waitress that nearly ended cost him the election) had gone on a divorce diet.

Meanwhile, in other marital strife news we've got actual philandering, and it's of the Democratic type. It's in Ohio, and the press is salivating:

The Ohio Attorney General scandal gets better by the week.

This morning Attorney General Marc Dann used the forum of a press conference called to release a report about sexual harassment allegations involving a top aide to confess an affair with his scheduler.

Dann said he won't resign and is "very hopeful" his wife will forgive him.

Indeed.

The in-house report about sexual harassment lays out the seedy details of mishbehavior by Dann's chief of administrative services, Anthony Gutierrez, who was fired. Another top aide, communications director Leo Jennings III, also was given the boot and two the employees, including the scheduler, quit.

The Swamp has more.
