Actions have consequences. Film at Eleven.

Mirthala Salinas, one of Villaraigosa's other, other women, has spoken to a magazine about her affair with the Mayor, and how she feels bad, and didn't know the affair would have such far reaching consequences.

Did the consequences need to reach any further than those immediately involved - the Mayor, his wife, their kids to make the who thing a bad idea?

They're both morally culpable, of course. I hope this doesn't read like I only have a problem with her. He's a repeat offender.

But the number one thing to take from this article: Girl, get new friends:

Salinas said her friends encouraged her to take a chance with the mayor.

"I felt special," Salinas told the magazine. "OK, putting the whole world aside, the media scrutiny, the people hurt, I felt special. It was a beautiful feeling."
