Newsom or Villaraigosa? Whose affair was worse?

Newsweek has a Web-only story this morning comparing how San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa handled revelations of their respective sexcapades.

The national weekly magazine doesn't declare a winner in the who-handles-scandal-better contest.

"So maybe sex doesn’t kill, after all—politically, anyway. And it just might help level the playing field in this case. If Villaraigosa and Newsom do both decide to enter the race to succeed Schwarzenegger, they won’t be able to attack each other over their private lives."
