Watters was talking about Texas Democratic Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico, who conservatives have increasingly attacked in recent days. Watters started taking personal shots at Talarico during the live broadcast on Wednesday night.

The House Ethics Committee confirmed on Thursday that it's launching an investigation into an embattled Republican congressman accused of sexual harassment.

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) will have to face a review of allegations that he "created or fostered a hostile work environment and engaged in sexual harassment," according to a statement by the Ethics Committee.

When I was 19, I walked in on my first "love" sleeping with someone else. As he was mid-thrust in breaking up our relationship, I was blindsided and horrified by the whole experience. Looking back today I’m not quite sure how I calmly walked away and never looked back.

Philanderers who bought into AshleyMadison.com's motto that "life's too short" and you should "have an affair" will probably have to come clean to their spouses soon considering the website for the unfaithful has been hacked by a group that's trying to shut them down.
