I love how people are taking the side of this obnoxious, pompous bore and his new “trophy” wife. That he doesn’t look back on his wife of almost thirty years is just one more reason to knock him. And some men do look back, I have personal knowledge of that.
In this case, the far left has it right.
Miss M., it’s possible that folks are not so much taking his side, as that they just don’t care about the detritus of his personal life.
I don’t read the NYT - Heck, I don’t even read the local WAPO. I vaguely recall references to the ‘crease-in-pants’, but I’ve never really registered or cared who said it. It was just another one of those things that weren’t worthy of attention.
People can write what they want, and open themselves to others stepping up and contending with them. But to many of us, a bridal registry, no matter how embarrassing or hypocritical, just isn’t worth getting agitated about. And I personally don’t find anybody’s personal sex life or marriage situation interesting - unless, again, they’re elected officials or others in positions of responsibility who represent me, and their behavior compromises them; OR they are breaking law in a way that diminishes the Rule of Law.
You seem to be offended by this ‘conceited pompous bunch’, but you are giving them credence by giving them attention at all ;-)
