That was my feeling too, some liberal Illinois judge fired the first shot already against Jack Ryan and we are expected to hold back fire?
So rather than doing the right thing, we should descend to their level?
You need a fact-checker. The divorce was in California, Los Angeles county to be precise.
Jack Ryan, in particular the monster that is Ryan's ego, is responsible for his own problems. Indeed, by shoehorning himself into the race (and alienating everybody to the point where he was running behind Baraka before this story broke!) he has done no favours for his party and for the political philosophy he supposedly espouses.
It's funny, now, he and his bimbo of an ex want to make all the mud they once slung at one another go away -- "for the sake of the child," you know, the one neither of them cared a whit about back when the mudslinging was going on. Of course, then there was something more important than the child to both of them at stake: money.
They're just a couple of sad excuses for human beings. Kerry has all the authenticity of a Naugahyde overcoat, but (1) it is unlikely he has this kind of bimbo eruption in his divorce papers, and (2) it's unseemly to look. Once the stuff's out, like the Ryans', it's out and people will consider it, but let it stay buried.
But on Ryan, it's good we got a look at his integrity before he got embedded in the Senate.
