I heard he was resigning and figured he was tied up with Tony Soprano or something.  Didn't expect that!

you dumbass

honkey

If you want to argue with me about grammar and spelling, "dumbass" is supposed to be two seperate words (dumb ass) and honkey is spelled H-O-N-K-Y.

The way his wife was acting and looking so supportive during his press conference announcing his gay affair, I have to wonder if she likely knew all along...  I'd guess so.

Sounds like the Republicans are going to try to force him out NOW, as opposed to the November 15th date that he mentioned for leaving office.

Anyway, let's try to stay on topic guys.  If you've got a beef with Durge, please try to keep it to yourself, or in PMs.  Thanks!   :-*

Thanks for the reroute, Matt.

I agree with your observation about his wife. What is going on with her? Obviously she loves him, and has the best interest of the family in mind - but it takes nads to stand in at the press conference. Of course, her absence would only escalate the media feeding frenzy with additional speculation surrounding her position.

I had an ever so small Kobe Bryant flashback... I remember the talk around his wife standing beside him as he acknowledged his "activity" with the Colorado woman. Grannted, it was (and is) "innocent until proven guilty" regarding the charges, but nonetheless he was admitting infidelity. I don't recall seeing Hilary in the televised address Clinton gave, and we know where the media went with reading into the state of their marriage.

Where did you read that the homo-fobes republicans were going to force him out early? Not that I'm surprised, just curious.

It was all over the news the next couple days after that press conference.  Ain'tchya got a TV out there Dp?!?   :P

As for Kobe, most people think that most "athlete's wives" have an understanding that their stud husbands will be off "doing things", but since the wives get to "live large" off of them, they generally let things slide.  Didn't think Kobe fell into that group, but apparently a lot of us were wrong about him...   :P

No tv on the frontier. And our Pony Express rider didn't make it in this week. I'm really worried about him, but he's just an orphaned kid – it's not like he's got a family or nuttin'. ;)
