Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
The Issue

Your personal assistant, Charlotte Sweet, has threatened to tell the newspapers that you had an affair with her unless you give her lots of money.

The Debate
1. "Whether you did it or not, we can't let this story get out," says your Chief of Staff over scotch and cigars, "Think of the scandal! No, no, no. Pay her. Pay the tabloids. Pay anyone who's ever heard the word affair! Pay them as much as it takes to make this disappear. Sure, this might just incentivize all those others to come forward demanding hush money, but sometimes you have to put your career first."

2. "We just have to make sure she doesn't win the case," councils your attorney Rebecca Sparkle, "Force all the newspapers to brand her a liar. Release statements saying you stand by your family. Drastic measures must be taken to stop that woman and her lies! Now let's prep your testimony. Repeat after me: I did not have an affair with that woman."

3. "Maybe this little problem really isn't a dilemma," opines your press advisor, Hope Hanover, "We live in modern times, and I don't think the public care about who sleeps with whom. You're better off coming clean about the whole thing. At the very least people will say you're honest. People don't say that a whole lot about politicians these days."
