I'm so distraught! Why is this so disturbing? Here's why:
1. He not only had an affair with a married woman, he had an affair with a close friend's wife. It's skeevy enough to sleep with a married woman, but you're buddy's wife? C'mon. That's so much worse.
2. Male politician with great politics and charisma, betrayed by his philandering? Sound familiar, Mr. Clinton? Now the right will get to use his stupidity to undermine all the good work he’s done. When you are a politician, you’ve chosen to live a life where your causes are affected by your private and moral choices. If you’re going to undermine the sanctity of marriage by sleeping with someone’s wife, maybe you aren’t the best person to try to promote equality in marriage rights. Ugh. I can just see the religious right tut-tutting all though the Bible Belt.
3. And this is the thing about male politicians. When women get drunk with power, they just turn into mega-bitches. But men have to make it about sex. Why, why why?
4. My fall-back plan, that I would meet, marry and wean Gavin off excessive hair gel, is clearly in the toilet. I may have to resort to real relationships.
