Sadly,
for our country and our children
yet another politician
a person in a leadership role
our elected officials used to demand respect
however
that is no longer the case
but, of course, another story
Governor Spitzer was caught in a sex scandal
Yes,
this time the perp
was the Governor of New York
As a result
he held a press conference
what else is new?
and
he said he was sorry
and disappointed in himself
...what an understatement...
so, what else is new?
he said
he was going
to try
to make it up to his
family,
and
what else is new?
sorry means nothing anymore to these guys
His wife,
dutifully stood beside him as he talked to the reporters,
and, what else is new?
We all saw her tragic face
as he read from his carefully worded apology
where did she find the strength to stay on her feet?
when Jackie Kennedy endured the long public funeral of her husband
President John F. Kennedy
she had the forethought to hide behind a black veil
every facial gesture would have been interpreted
by anyone with a microphone
giving the hungry public a running commentary
those vultures,
the paparazzi,
were all trying to get a picture of her private reactions
behind her mask
I digress
most people watching this scandal
play out on television
were focused
on the devastated face of the governors wife
many of us were more interested
in the impact
this turn of events
has had on his family
Our concern and our prayers are for them
OK,
if you want to say a prayer for this creep,
go ahead,
I'm sure he could use it
(another story)
However
client #9
has a wife and three girls!
I pray they have a strong faith
I hope they find a therapist or a spiritual mentor
that might be able to help them
come to terms with all this
if that is possible?
the family must be destroyed
now can anyone tell me why?
his wife,
an innocent,
women
had to stand there in the glare of the cameras,
in front of the world
and
be subjected to such a humiliating experience?
I wonder what it was like in the limo on the way home?
another story, perhaps?
