its not really a down on her. its a down on him for being a douchebag and going and fucking some argentinian whore instead of the smart, classy, lady that obviously loved him.

he USED her dude. thats my point.

I think it all comes down to our outmoded morality. Many people, not just pols, have an "understanding" with their significant other but the tendency is becoming less and less to marry them, which is IMO the right way to handle this. Marriage is, after all, actually a ceremony where you declare loudly and publicly that you are going to have just this one spouse and no other. Why go through the ritual if you don't intend to keep it?

And don't say a pol can't get elected if they're not married. Hell, Barney Frank has been in Congress longer than God and he's gay. I come from MD, and bachelor pols are something of a tradition here.

I don't think marriage is outdated, by any means. I think it's a good gauge to measure a person's maturity. Our society is based off of family. This might be the reason why kids are having so many problems these days. You marry to one person and have kids that grow up in a household with both the mother and father. I will agree that people shouldn't get married unless they really mean it. I hate how it appears to have turned into simply being "the next step in a relationship".

I dated a girl from Washington who used to work in a massage parlor and she said most of her best customers were US Congressmen and women. She said if you were to go to any high-classed Cathouse in Washington you'd find at least one or two Senator and Representatives at any time. Working girls in Washington all know this. Hell, Watergate was over the Dems running a brothel out of the Watergate Hotel. Barney Frank was caught running a gay call service out of his home a few years back.

The Watergate scandal was about something else entirely. The articles of impeachment brought against President Richard Nixon, which triggered his resignation, included perjury and obstruction of justice. Statements of this sort do nothing to enhance your credibility.
