AND, as I learned from the headline on the free newspaper this morning, unsafe sex!!

The wife really needs to kick his sorry ass to the curb.

She was at the cashier's at Trader Joe's when I called her; when she hung up, the cashier said, "Sounds like someone had a rotten day." "My friend just got fired," Deb said. And the cashier reached behind her and grabbed one of those 3-pack bricks of dark chocolate and dropped it in Deb's bag, saying, "Give her this. I find chocolate always helps."

Awwwwwww. That's awesome.

I have a similar but unrelated story. I was lamenting to my friend about my computer, how I thought I might have a virus and I might have to reinstall Windows and that would be really stressful because I was afraid I'd forget something or lose something important and all my settings would be different and what if I couldn't find all the programs again and I don't deal with computer issues AT ALL. She consoled me as a good friend should.

Later, she told me that she had taken the call in the presence of a friend, who, when she hung up, asked, "So, your friend got dumped, huh?"

I tell you what - if I was ever one of these public wives, I would NOT go to the damn press conferences. I could give a shit what it appears like that I don't go stand by my man. If he was all that worried about it, he'd've kept his weiner in his trousers.

"Your guy here spent $80k on hookers and you're worried what it's gonna look like that his wife isn't there? I'll tell you what it'll look like - it'll look like a guy who cheated on his wife. And she says, "Eff you"."

am SO in the corner with Aimee.

So, it is done. He's out. SERIOUSLY!!?! $80K!?!?! I hate people.

The wife really needs to kick his sorry ass to the curb.

Seriously! And take him for all he's worth.

And re: the $80k.

I understand that these were fancy schmancy hookers, but how did he have TIME to have all that sex??

::sits with Aimee and msbelle and lisah::

For real. Grrr.

The radio people this morning pointed out that Hillary wasn't standing next to Bill when he did his mea culpa news conference. I wish that Mrs. Spitzer didn't, either.

I am with you guys. Also, wouldn't most of that have been her money? Am I correct in thinking she's been a fancy lawyer while he's been a public servant?

I read a comment somewhere that Kobe Bryant's wife had it more right: she was at the press conference, but was staring him down like "You motherFUCKER" the whole time.

::pulls up chair::

where's the 80K ref? I just caught something buried in a NYtimes piece about "likes to do things you might consider dangerous" - which seemed very fan-dance for NYTimes - but no $
