Obama Gave Italian Woman's Family "Gifts" After Leering at Her

Jake Tapper tweets on what I'm calling Assgate:

heard more outrage from conservative tweeps today re: alleged POTUS once-over than about @johnensign, @davidvitter + mark sanford combined

And that's outrage over a photo that doesn't show what they say it shows. In other news, John Ensign's parents gave the family of the woman he was having an affair with a $96,000 "gift."

Now if my headline were true, you'd have a real story.
