Political analysts agree, to a point. Few see any signs of lasting damage to Villaraigosa just yet.
Other political leaders whose personal failings have made front-page news have emerged with their careers largely intact, or enhanced, even if their behavior cost them political points in the short run.
The list of such cases reads like a Who's Who of modern American politics: — former President Clinton, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Colorado Sen. Gary Hart.
I'm sure former President Hart will find this news reassuring.
