Pillow Talk Politics Addendum

Previously discussed in light of Barbara Walter's admission, journalist-politician trysts test the strains of each profession's ethics. A particularly glaring example of this tension occurred last year, when Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa admitted to an affair with Telemundo anchor Mirthala Salinas. The affair not only showed Mr. Villaraigosa's infidelity, but also tainted the luster of the first Latino-American to hold the title of L.A. Mayor. Salinas' actions add another bow to the quiver of those aiming at the ivory tower of corporate media.

Probably not busting his balls in this interview.

Salinas, seen in red, is likely waiting for her "private sit-down."
