2. Mary Kay's father was a Con politico who was caught with in a sex scandal.

...iand her half-brothers from the affair served each in one or the other of the Bush administrations.

Her pedigree is flawless for corruption.

Wikipedia on Mary Kay Letourneau: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Letourneau

Mary Kay's father was John G. Schmitz, a U.S. Congressman from Orange County, California and a professor at Santa Ana College. He was generally considered one of the more conservative members of the House, and ran for the Presidency in 1972 on the ultra-conservative American Independent Party ticket. Her mother Mary was a homemaker and anti-feminist activist.

Mary Kay is one of seven children born to John and Mary, and has two half-siblings that were the result of a longtime affair between her father and his mistress. One of her brothers served as White House counsel in the George H. W. Bush administration. Another, Joseph E. Schmitz, was appointed Inspector General of the Department of Defense by George W. Bush. Mary Kay Schmitz married Steve Letourneau on June 30, 1984. The couple had two daughters and two sons together.

3. I grew with Mary Kay around.

Her parents and mine went to the same parties. As I recall, her dad called her 'Cake.' There was also another scandal when Mary Kay's father was discovered to have a mistress, who was accused of abusing THEIR child. Ah ... I miss those good ol' conservative values ... you see, Ma and only very, very, very, very sporadically talk.

7. I don't remember her that way.

But then we were all kids running around some rich multi-millionaires ranch while the GOP raised money for campaigns (and the adults flirted with each other). I'm laughing; I shouldn't be - but it is strange how things turned out. Fortunately, I grew up to have a normal, moral life because of my progressively-minded paternal grandparents!

5. Was Ashley around, too?

And who's Vili? Are they triplets, after all?

Perhaps I need to keep up with the news more effectively.

Nahhhhhhhhhhh.....

6. Now now now.... I don't think it's for us to judge.

He doesn't look abused. Maybe 30 years from now he'll write his memoirs about how he was -- how he was afraid to say anything because of her power over him, and the ways men are kept silent in our society, and how he felt he couldn't say "no," and whatever, but...

I don't think he's so sad; I don't think she's all that sick, either. Whatever. I just don't think they should be in the "news."

8. Would you be saying the same thing if the genders were reversed

or if it were a male-male couple? I highly doubt it.
