Here's something you don't see very often: a former politician risking ridicule by being honest. In class I'll give you an activity to accompany this video. For now just try to understand what the former governor is confessing to, and listen to the video several times until you feel comfortable with the language used.
Here's some vocabulary that comes up that might help:
1. astounded - amazed, very surprised
2. 'stir the pot' - expression meaning make things worse by causing a controversy
3. chief of staff - a person in charge of day-to-day affairs of a office-holding politician
And here's one question to think about: why did Mr. Symington take so long to make his confession?
