    It's Sandy, yep.

    Why the name change?
    Laura Bush seems committed, as does Gayle Haggard.

    I wasn't aware that there were confirmed extra-marital affairs, a sexual harassment lawsuit and an allegation of rape against George W. Bush. In any event, my point was that being divorced doesn't mean you're a worse spouse than the person who stays married. It often means that your spouse simply has a higher tolerance for bullshit.

    Your point was that the Republican leadership's visible difficulty in hanging on to their marriages might be due to superior character and greater assertiveness on the part of the wives involved.

    But we both know that nobody who married any of those guys has a low tolerance for bullshit.
    W's enemies didn't throw around millions of dollars to line up those kinds of lawsuits, but as for the rest - live and learn. There are biographies available.

    Hey, if I can't talk to Asgard like that, then he can't talk to Diane like that. Just cuz she's not popular doesn't mean the rules an't support her.

    Asgard is at least a real member. 'Sandy', or 'diane' is not. They come here to troll, and getting sworn at is the reaction a troll wants, to cause strife and discord amongst the regular members and mods.

    That's entirely possible. Or maybe the spouses of these political figures headed to divorce court over minor issues that could have been resolved with counseling. Either way, I don't think that having certain political views makes you a bigger marriage risk.

    So...there have been no confirmations of extra-marital affairs, sexual harassment lawsuits and allegations of rape against W?

    I asked Stryder to reinstate him, considering Sandy, sorry, diane, got busted as a troll. I'm not sure if this was the sole reason he got his ban lifted however.

    I've always wanted to see someone getting busted as a troll. Can you provide a link as to when that happened?

    And anyway, wasn't I right???

    P.S.: I didn't even realize I was banned because by the time I came back to the site, it was lifted. But again, you stand up to bullies and trolls, just on principle...

    You were not alone,... whoever is behind Sandy/diane isn't that creative, it's the same old schtick every time.

    What I don't get why was she getting off on this news item, when it involved 2 people from both parties??? So if it looks bad (25 years still perfectly fine in my book) it would look bad for both...

    Anyhow, Sandy and logic...

    Look. I have no personal problem with even the nasty stuff you said. If you recall, I was one of the biggest advocates for Sandy's banishment to the Phantom Zone. And as it was, there was a concerted effort to get rid of Sandy 2.0, so I sympathize. But the comments were out of line. Lesson learned, I hope.

    My dad says that the two most important qualities in a marriage are compromise and forgiveness. Because no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes

    After 25 years of marriage and 4 children, what is the point of a divorce? I understand that both Maria and Arnold lost their mothers in the last few years and she also lost her father. Sometimes things like that make you reevaluate whats really important in life. Hopefully whatever the result, the children won't suffer too much.
