9. Rep. Bob Livingston Admits Illicit Sexual Affairs

It was different time when there was so much outrage over consensual affairs between adults such as the impeach of Bill Clinton over lying about Monica Lewinsky, which also lead to the resignation by Republican Bob Livingston due to disclosure of his own affair.

WASHINGTON — On the eve of the House debate to impeach President Clinton for lying about sex with Monica Lewinsky, House Speaker-elect Bob Livingston told his Republican colleagues Thursday night that he had strayed from his marriage and had adulterous affairs.

Only a few hours after Livingston decided to proceed with the impeachment debate despite U.S. forces being engaged in hostilities in Iraq, he admitted in a GOP caucus that he had "on occasion" committed infidelity and in "doing so nearly cost me my marriage and family."

The speaker-elect's announcement added a startling twist to a political scandal in which Clinton is likely to be impeached by the House for allegedly lying under oath about his affair with Lewinsky and then covering it up.

In the closed caucus, Livingston, of Louisiana, read a letter to colleagues about the matter, departing from it only once when he said at the beginning, "I guess I have been Larry Flynted."
