The scandals are piling as high as the bodies in a Shakespearean tragedy. John Edwards has been indicted for using campaign funds to hide his mistress, their child and his campaign assistant (along with who knows how many skeletons. Honestly, do they make closets this big?), Schwarzenasshole took his own family – the one we knew about – and hit "detonate", and Anthony Weiner, he of the just-so-giggly last name, fessed up that it was indeed his campaign member in the illicit photos.
Besides the incredible lack of judgement these men share, they're also big fat liars. Doesn't anybody, with their hand in the proverbial cookie jar, ever just take a deep breath and admit, "ya caught me"?
Consider this a plea...or rather a couple of pleas. For one, stop with the naked photos. Please. There's enough porn in the world that you don't need to add yours to the mix. You're not that hot. And secondly, when you get caught (because it seems you will, inevitably, get caught), just smile bashfully and nod so we can all get on with our lives.
Since I'm less than 4 months from Dday these news stories just piss me off. I get mad at my husband all over again. Last night I told him there was no hope for men and that they are all pigs. But, did you catch Jon Stewarts bit on Weinergate? Very funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm too far out to be pissed off (no energy left!) but I do get sad. You're right: Seems like they're all pigs.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, LOVED Jon Stewart's Weinergate segment. Please God, don't let Jon Stewart turn out to be a lying scumbag, too. Right now, he's my only hope for mankind (and I do mean MANkind!).
Somewhere out there, someplace, there is a man that doesn't cheat on his wife.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just a myth? Kind of like unicorns?
ReplyDeleteYes, unicorns... It seems that since I found out about my husband's extracurriculars I see affairs and betrayed spouses all around me. Maybe I am more aware but it is truly all over the place. My best friend is the 'other woman' of a married man. My former boss had a child with another colleague and while is still married to his first wife is living with his new partner and child. My other very good male friend is a serial cheater, on 'wife' number I don't know what and with at least 4 children that I know of by 3 different women. My colleagues are pretty much all (with a few exceptions - not because they aren't but perhaps because they are discrete) either betrayed or betrayers!
ReplyDeleteI would venture to say that in fact we probably have a better chance running into a unicorn than a faithful spouse/man... there are also a ton of women out there who are having affairs...It really does make one wonder if it is meant to be this way after all? Is there something wrong with US?
I know. It can be depressing. And I, too, start to wonder if we simply aren't biologically programmed to be monogamous. Heard a radio program, however, with a scientist who noted that many mammalian species are monogamous, quite successfully. I think we've simply become a society of immediate gratification and entitlement. We borrow money for things we can't afford and we simply take what we want with little regard for the long-term consequences. Few men, when caught and faced with the pain they've cause, think it was worth it...
