In an earlier post I said I thought Giuliani was unraveling and:
I think details of his affair with Judith Nathan while he was mayor will emerge and a lot of Republicans will begin to wonder how, exactly, his behavior differed from Bill Clinton's when he was in office.
I just read this comment from Doug:
Giuliani's behavior differs from Clinton's in that Clinton stayed married.
Amen to that. The Clintons have each and only been married to one another. That is to applauded.

Charity, Le'Nora (and of course, David):
But you have to admit, at least from the outside (and that's never the fairest view of a couple, I realize), the Clintons have one of the just plain strangest and weirdest marriages in the modern history of humankind.
I'm not saying they don't love each other, in a way. But I often wonder what "way" that is ...
Thinker:
Helluva hit job on Uriah, though. (As even he was forced to admit in response to Samuel's parable.)

Really? Ya think so? ^-^ *LOL* Sorry, Larry, but I don't think so. Maybe women just talk more about their marriages, but based on everything I've heard from the media - the Clintons have a pretty typical marriage, or at least it's not as strange as people like to portray. With about 1/2 of people admitting to cheating at some point in their lives and 22% admitting to cheating on their current partner, Bill's behavior is pretty typical. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17951664/) As for Hillary staying - *shrug* I've seen at lest two battered church wives stay in their marriage for WAY to long. People stay in sexless marriages, people justify S&M on a 'christian' basis (seriously). Some of your average, typical people get up to things that are truly bazaar.
{For what it's worth, I realize that not everyone end's up having these conversations. For some reason, I end up with people telling me weird stuff - don't know why. Same thing happens to my dad. Right now my theory is we are both middle kids and developed the habit of actually listening to people}.
So can you tell me WHY you think their marriage is 'just plain strangest and weirdest in the modern history of humankind'? Not saying you are not right, but I would really like to understand where you are coming from.
Because they seem to have the rarest of the three types of marriages -- not a body connection (clearly), not a soul connection (or they would be fully devoted to each other, which they have not been) but rather a MIND connection. They seem to agree on politics, maybe Chelsea, AND NOTHING ELSE.
This type of marriage is not unheard of, I realize. My marriage was a mind connection, actually -- and unlike the Clintons, neither of us cheated. But it sure was a strange trip at times, which is why we ended up divorcing.
Larry, not to put words in your mouth or anything, but it seems like what you are saying from time to time is "Bill/Hillary Clinton gives me the willies and that's just all there is to it?" 8-)
Not Bill so much as Hill.
Bill's conduct is more distasteful, but Hill's is more inexplicable.
