Gotcha - with your pants down

Well, it has happened again. A politician has been caught with a hooker. It's not really that shocking anymore. Old white men holding a press conference to attone for their sins. I'm sorry. I won't do it again.... translation I'm pissed I was stupid and got caught. It happens now, a lot.

My problem is that I don't understand the political wife. The Hillary Clintons, Wendy Vitters and Silda Spitzers of the world confuse me. Your husband has admitted to the public that he has had an affair with a prostitute/intern and you show up at the press conference with this man. Standing there, beautifully dressed, perfectly coiffed wearing your triple strand of pearls.

What the F#@k is wrong with these women. Maybe I'm just not that nice. If I were one of these women I don't think that attending my husband's "I'm so sorry, (Jimmy Swaggert) I have sinned" press conference is part of my duties as a wife. Working with a therapist, family and couples counseling, absoutely. Standing next to him looking like a sad puppy. Hell, NO!. He got himself into that mess. He didn't need me then. He won't need me now, in front of the cameras.

Honestly, the press and 99% of the American women would love me. Everytime he says "I'm sorry", I am quite sure I would smirk and roll my eyes. Followed by an under the breath "yeah, right" and an occasional "bullshit".

I don't expect my politicians to be 10 feet tall and bulletproof. They are human and make mistakes. I am not here to judge them. The public embarrassment and pain they cause their famlies is enough for me.

I just feel that anyone entrusted with making important decisions for the Cities, States and Federal Government should not be recklessly STOOOOOPID!
