The Sunday Morning Muse, May 31, 2009


If conservatives like Newt Gingrich are so concerned about the sanctity of marriage, why not wage an all out effort to outlaw divorce? It would seem only natural as marriage is supposed to mean love and commitment and death do us part, and , oh yes, ... Family Values.


But marriage is different things to different people. And if you are Newt it means stay with one woman until a healthier or younger one comes along you like better.


Newt loves marriage so much he said " I Do" three times. His latest wife, is the Congressional aide, 20 years younger, whom he had an affair with for six years while he was with his second wife.


The whole "for better or for worse" thing in the marriage ceremony fell on deaf ears as it was well reported that Newt dumped his first wife after she got cancer, and promptly got married to someone else six months later.


The latest twist is he has suddenly become a Catholic. I wonder if he had to attend those required "marriage classes" they make you take. It would have been good for laughs.

This is silly. They should eliminate alimony is what they should eliminate. Also, if a woman gets pregnant out of marriage....her choice and her responsibility.
