How about a truce?

Background: After John Edwards' affair was exposed, columnist Jack Lessenberry called on the media to stay out of the personal sex lives of politicians.

In “Sum of our parts”, Jack Lessenberry calls on the media to stop getting involved in the personal sex lives of politicians. How about we offer politicians a truce? You stay out of our personal lives and we'll stay out of yours. As long as politicians pass laws prohibiting gambling, smoking, recreational drug use, medical marijuana, prostitution and other victimless crimes, their personal moral failings should be exposed for all to see.
