John: Hillary isn't forgiving Bill-not no way! It's all for political expediency. Also consider the tremendous credibilty she's receiving for 'standing by her man'. Her popularity's never been higher.

But think for a moment of the double standard. Just imagine if this were a Republican president and a 'Chriiistiiian', read 'right wing religious zealot', First Lady. First, does one delude themselves for one minute into believing that within weeks of the revelation that the prez was having sex in the oval office with a nubile intern that feminist women's groups wouldn't be on the capital steps having their own 'March On Washington' protesting this 'right wing'/'self righteous' Republican taking advantage of impressionable young interns? Second, do you think the First Lady would be seen as a strong person overcoming such overwhelming obstacles to support her husband as is Hillary? I think not! Instead she would be perceived as 'weak' and a 'doormat' doing her 'Chriiistiiian' duty to her abuser. I'm sickened at how easily manipulated Americans have let themselves become.

PS As a point of clarification for all you secular leftists about to pounce on another religious zealot-I'm not particularly religious nor do I go to church.
