A timeline
-- In 1980, Newt Gingrich was caught having an affair with Marianne Ginther, later becoming his second wife. In the mid-90's, he got caught cheating again - his second mistress was House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, who's currently Gingrich's third wife. Publicly addressing his past indiscretions, he said:
"There's no question at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate ... Sometimes you feel so passionately about America that you need to have some extramarital affairs"."
-- In 1998, President Bill Clinton got caught up in a scandal alongside White House intern Monica Lewinsky - first denying and later admitting he had strayed. The scandal led to Clinton's impeachment because he had lied about the affair under oath.
-- In 2008, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi denied any involvement with the much younger Noemi Letizia. November 2010 brought on another infidelity accusation, this time with Karima El Mahroug [better known as Ruby Rubacuoti]. Berlusconi has vehemently denied the affair.
-- In June 2009, senator John Ensign resigned his position after admitting he had an affair with the wife of a close friend, both of whom the politician was working with during his Presidential campaign.
-- In May 2011, thanks to the news publication The Los Angeles Times, Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a child, 14 years prior, with the family's housekeeper Mildred Baena. The actor and ex California governor said:
"After leaving the governor's office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago."
-- Again in May 2011, congressman Anthony Weiner mistakenly posted on his Twitter a lewd photograph meant for his mistress' eyes only. What followed was the 'sexting' scandal heard around the world! After a few weeks, Weiner admitted to more indiscretions with several other women he'd met online. Ultimately, the admission was followed by the congressman's public resignation.
