1 More Clinton Critic Admits an Affair

For the second time in a week, a right-wing critic of President Clinton has admitted to an affair. The confession came from Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-Idaho), who was forced to go public by the Idaho Statesman after she committed what proved to be a tactical error: demanding Clinton’s resignation and declaring in a campaign commercial, “I believe that personal conduct and integrity does matter.” Chenoweth, 60, told the newspaper that she had an affair 14 years ago. She maintained her situation is markedly different from Clinton’s. She was a private citizen and divorced during her affair with her married business partner. She said it ended 10 years before she was elected to Congress.
