I remember around the time of the "Paddy Pantsdown" affair someone on usenet1 said that it was well-known in Lib Dem circles that Ashdown and his wife had an open marriage. I really think politicians would benefit from occasionally saying "yeah, so what?" in response to these stories. Didn't seem to do Alan Clark's reputation much harm.
Max Mosley might as well change his surname to "Nazi Orgy" now, since those two words are going to pop up in any news story about him despite winning the court case (with some justification - "it wasn't a Nazi orgy, it was a German prison scenario orgy" - yeah, right).
1 Yes, I know, but this was someone who was probably in a position to know.
