Guessing Game Results: His Cheating Heart

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Thanks for all your guesses in response to yesterday’s blind item about a southern Republican congressman who has found himself in a bit of trouble. We won’t pass on the correctness or incorrectness of your guesses; we’ll just pass them along, with minimal comment.

More guesses, after the jump.
