Stanley also told the News he's trying to make up with his wife. According to Andy Meek's article, Stanley is a fan of the Christian inspiration film "Fireproof," believing the storyline mirrors his own troubles.
"Fireproof" is not a typical Hollywood film, but its ending is vintage Hollywood; the husband and wife stay together and rekindle their love.
Rep. Stacey Campfield also pops up in the article as comic relief, making his point again that everyone in the legislature is a cad so why punish his buddy Stanley?
"If the Legislature starts asking every legislator to step down who has cheated on their spouse or had sex with an intern/staffer/lobbyist, then it's going to be a lot more difficult to get a quorum."

I am reminded of when Michelle Triola "Marvin's" suit against Lee Marvin started palimony. The speed with which the Tennessee Legislature enacted a no palimony law made most people's heads spin. I always figured it was because they felt they were vulnerable to a palimony suit themselves.
It is a bit interesting that a bastion of morality like Mr. Campfield knows about all this adultery and hasn't come out and condemned it. Maybe he figures it would cause deficit spending.
The Hon Mr Campfield makes a worthy point. One which could, under particularly exquisite circumstances once our exalted legislature cripples itself with a 'palimony' spasm, deliver Tennessee's citizenry from further imbecilic regulations such as our unique, asinine, beer purchase law.
Go for it, fools. Give us something for the national media to focus on that we Tennesseans can really be proud of: a Volunteer legislature unable to function because it shot itself in the foot.
Should have headed my previous remarks with this:
"If the Legislature starts asking every legislator to step down who has cheated on their spouse or had sex with an intern/staffer/lobbyist, then it's going to be a lot more difficult to get a quorum."
Sorry.
