There is the One America that despises this behavior and will be turned off by it. Generally this is the stable family, conservative, go-to-church, morally upright Americans that were so upset at Bill Clinton's soiling of the Presidency. Again, they will really be radicalized by this.
On the other hand, there is the OTHER America.
They are liberal, unstable families, perverted, nihilist, non-church going, anything goes types Americans that LOVED Bill Clinton despite his filthiness, rapes and dishonesty.
They will in fact LOVE this Teresa Heinz altercation just as they worship at the feet of Hillary Clinton; they hate Laura Bush because she emotes morality and decency.
It is as simple as that. They will grow to love this woman even more, and stick up for her.
Just watch it happen. The Two Americas will emerge on this issue. You'll hear it on TV, see it at work, near the water cooler, at parties.
I know Freepers are overwhleming those for higher standards and a Better America.
No, don't bring it up at work. I work with a liberal PhD. When we bring up politics, we'll talk each other's ears off and accomplish nothing work-related. Sort of like Hannity and Colmes. Good guy. But he spent so much time in Universities picking up liberal women that he infected himself:) He knows that I know and doesn't like it:) LOL!
