What do you mean I can't diddle the maid?
Bill Clinton. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Anthony Weiner. Elliot Spitzer. Tiger Woods. Chris Brown. Jesse James. John Edwards. Mark Sanford. Whatever the guy’s name is that ‘pees in a wide stance’ and the list goes on.
While private matters between husband and wife and/or lovers are their business, the public has unfortunately been deluged with the considerable dirty laundry of the aforementioned list. We debate about whether the woman should stay or leave, what the effect the negative publicity will have on the children and how this man (almost always a man – so far) will repair himself in the eyes of his family and the world.
In as plain a language as I can possibly state, I don’t give a rat’s ass. While my sympathies may continue to the children and wife, I honestly don’t care if the guy falls off the planet. Take Tiger Woods. The debate in the sporting world is when Tiger will have his game back. Commentators and golf junkies can easily separate the person from the talent. I can’t. If Tiger Woods never hits another golf ball again, it would be fine with me. He’s a putz of the first order who adroitly humiliated his wife as if he were negotiating the thirteenth fairway of Augusta. Why in the world would I care what he does?
Political philanderers are worse. Who are the people that think John Edwards should run for something again? How could you possibly trust that man to do anything that was not in his immediate best interest. Do we want Arnold or Mark deciding our state budgets? Or Elliot telling us the news?
I’ve always felt it was best for my mental health and for my general well-being to remove myself from the company of the miserable, the self-absorbed and those folks I could not find even a modicum of respect for. When did we decide that men with some popular talent, or electability, or even just the odd reality show appeal, are exempt from basic decency?
