Political Affairs

I didn’t realize how jaded I had become on the issue of extramarital sex and/or politics in general until the South Carolina governor disappeared for a few days to visit his love shack in Argentina. My husband and I were talking about it when his whereabouts were simply ‘unknown’ and we thought hmm, hope nothing happened to him. Then we thought, bet he has a sidepiece and the wife is upset about it.

I hate it when I’m right. The thing is, it didn’t surprise me and it didn’t really bother me at first. Isn’t that weird? I mean if one of my friends was cheating on his/her spouse it would bother me and it would definitely bother me if it were my husband…but a politician? I just expect them to be creeps. How horrible is that? Shouldn’t we want people representing us who are good examples? I know it doesn’t have anything to do with how well they perform their job…except this time it kind of does.

He didn’t tell anyone where he was or who he was going to be with. So many things could have happened. Not to be all dooms day or anything but what if there had been a natural disaster, or a terrorist attack, or we’d been plunged into World War III? Who would have made the big decisions? I know there are procedures in place to take care of these sorts of things, but it would have taken longer to get everything swinging simply because his whereabouts weren’t known. So in this case getting some on the side did affect his ability to perform his job.

Here’s hoping personal accountability will win in the end.
