Villaraigosa, a likely 2010 gubernatorial candidate, has joined the increasingly crowded club of big city mayors -- San Francisco's Gavin Newsom, San Francisco's Willie Brown, San Jose's Ron Gonzales and New York's Rudy Giuliani -- who have faced headlines and heat regarding their affairs while in public office.
Barbara O'Connor, professor of political communication at Sacramento State University, says the news about Villaraigosa could be the tipping point: The parade of politicians engaged in extra-curricular activities has gotten so crowded in the post-Clinton era that the public has reached a "so what?' moment.

"The rumors are true ... Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa confirmed today that he is separating from his wife, Corina, after more than 20 years of marriage."

(addressing her own Spanish-language Telemundo Ch 52 viewers on June 8, did open the show with the news,
but she did not identified herself as the "other woman" )

by Wikipedia:

**** is a pejorative term for a person (usually female) who is deemed sexually promiscuous. The modern sense of "a sexually promiscuous woman" dates to at least 1450.

Cheating is defined as an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of rules. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.

[/align] Mirthala Salinas got around in the club of elected officials. David Zahniser, still at the LA Weekly, reports tonight that the mayor's current main squeeze previously dated Council President — now state Senator Alex Padilla, who is single.
Also, Speaker of the House Fabian Nunez's office now confirms he dated her as well. Salinas made the rounds apparently while she reported on politics for Telemundo 52.
