Democrat Gary Hart Says He May Run for President

Former Colorado Sen. Gary Hart, whose presidential hopes were dashed in 1988 by the disclosure of an extramarital affair, said on Wednesday the indiscretion should not affect his chances in 2004, if he decides to run.

He was a front-runner for the Democratic nomination 15 years ago, but that bid was derailed after he was photographed with model Donna Rice on a boat named "Monkey Business." Hart, who had earlier dared reporters to expose the affair, has recently called the incident folly rather than scandal.

"I don't like powerful language abused, and I think if you call stuff like this scandals, then you just kind of let other things off the hook," Hart told supporters in Iowa. "If everything's a scandal, then nothing's a scandal."

This was my root-beer-through-the-nose moment of the morning.

I can't even begin to think of something to say other than whatever drugs he is taking I would like some.
