So the average American male can't complain about paying for two cinema tickets and a feed at the Red Lobster.
I've bought my wife a few cars, but I don't think I've ever needed ass that bad.

To tell the truth; I'm wondering more about why some women stay with such men. Hillary Clinton and Silda Spitzer are both Harvard Law graduates, as I understand. It's not like they have nothing to fall back on. I know I'm going to hear some "They stay(ed) because of the kids". But how about how the kids will think of them in the future? Should that not be part of the equation?

The marriage vows state

"For richer for poorer, for better for worse, in sickness and in health...........etc"

If the man is repentant why shouldn't his wife stay with him? Or vice versa?

If you can't forgive the person you love most in the whole world, then who can you forgive? Even if you're a hotshot lawyer?

BTW Hillary went to Yale (not Harvard) which is where she met Bill

Gotta part ways with you on that one. If I cheat on my wife, she should leave. That is one of the highest breaches of trust that a relationship can take. And if she cheats on me, I'm SOOOO outaa here. No haps.

If their relationship was "open" though, I guess this really doesn't matter. And that might be the case.

No bias...(shhhh)....
This was my original post...

As you can tell, I find it incredibly annoying and downright bias when the media throws out the party affiliation on a Republican scandal but withhold the information on a Democratic one. (I favor it for both)

Sadly, it goes much worse...Now they're resorting to outright lying...

Sit down for this one[/url]...

My fault. I thought the Clintons met at Harvard. But does that change anything? Should she accept having her reputation smeared in such a way? Would you stay if your wife paid $4,000.00 for male companionship behind your back?
I agree with FX. Husband or wife; no one should feel that they have to accept that behavior from their spouse. Besides, wouldn't it have been better for Spitzer to have sought a divorce first, if he was no longer happy in their marraige?

Perhaps so. But isn't a marriage more important than a reputation?

When you make those marriage vows you are telling the world that you love this person more than any other - so shouldn't you be prepared to forgive them?

Surely love takes precedence over pride Joe?

Remember this?



So what is your point?

Your 'ad-up' of identifications would make more sense if Democrats had an equal number of scandals as Republicans. Not that it matters anyway. Perhaps you're afraid that people are as dumb as those who watch Fox News and associate the actions of a few with the many. Not only that, but if you're really stretching this as far as you do, why aren't you complaining about the fact that the media never labels Bush as a Republican after his shitload of scandals that are much worse than someone getting a little action?

Also, please notice the times when they give the appropriate nomenclature; when they're members of Congress. The "D" or "R" comes after their state designations. E.g., it doesn't make much sense to say "NY- R" after they already said "governor of New York". Whilst "Rep." or "Sen." requires some clarification.

Please, do us a favor; shut up and take your tin foil with you.
