Men lie and cheat. Had it not been for the accident and everything coming to light, he would have continued to twist her mind for as long as she didnt find out. This is so sad. He had 4 boys and how is his wife gonna explain this to the 5 year old son, tell me? He was still in love with his wife and making love to her daily. She may or may not have known what was going on. Neither one of them thought that it would come to this though. That one unguarded moment can change a life forever. That's what I thought. Men lie and cheat.

Katharine Weymouth, publisher of the Washington Post, issued a “Letter To Our Readers” mea culpa for the now infamous “pay to play” or “access of evil” invitation to lobbyists and powerbrokers at Ms. Weymouth's own home. Apparently someone in the Post's marketing department sent out this invitation with proper authorization — what a cheeky fellow, offering the Publishers own home for parties without her knowledge! Of course, Ms. Weymouth never says she was unaware that the event would be held at her own home. Nor does she tell us she was unaware that the price for attending such soiree was $25,000 and up, a sum certain to assure the event would not be overrun with riffraff.

In fact, very little is clear in Ms. Weymouth's letter to her readers. The letter's studied, exquisitely crafted ambiguity is the hallmark of legal drafting (we lawyers don't “write”, we “draft”) and there can be no doubt that Ms. Weymouth's letter was the work of her lawyers. Of course, Ms. Weymouth is counting on the fact that newspaper readers will read this letter with a reader's eye, not a lawyer's eye.

Let me lend you one lawyer's eye, and give you a lawyer's takeaway on Ms. Weymouth's letter.

He had a 'southern gentleman' reputation. Perhaps, his good manners and such, were his downfall. He didn't know how to pick a woman who would go for the okeydoke. He wound up with a woman whose cultural values did not allow her to be dismissed like she was his plaything. I somewhat agree with this based on his being known as a good father and spouse.

It is time to say that Bush put us in a far deeper and bigger hole than they imagined.

These folks are already trying to hold Obama accountable for this economy after six months and it is time to start pushing back and saying WHOAH…we had no idea this situation was an economic FUBAR…we thought it was a snafu…but turns out it is FUBAR.

No one, not even the experts were as pessimistic as they needed to me, and we were wrong to have been so optimistic about how catastrophic the economic policies of GW Bush were.
