"It was her second marriage; her first husband, Sonny Bono, was killed in a skiing accident in 1998."
And gave her a job in Congress when he died. That's sick. Only in politics can a wife take over a job like that.
That explains why the Ford family is out of the Ford Motor Company, the Disneys are out of Disney, and the duPonts are out of E.I. duPont, right?
It's a vote for "stay the course." The wife is assumed to be sympatico with the hubby's views, and to share the same advisors. And it's not like Mary Bono was handed the seat; she had to win an election.
"In 2004, Congresswoman Mary Bono resoundingly swept the 45th District Congressional election with a 67 percent majority, earning her fourth term in office. Congresswoman Bono was first elected to Congress in 1998, after a special election was held to fill the seat left vacant by her late husband, Sonny Bono. "
Mary Bono is inept, useless and dead wood resting on the fame of her ex-husband. How in the world this woman came to the position and power she did is beyond me. She has absolutely no ethics and no morals and to have a place as a representative of our people is embarrassing and sends a wrong message to anyone with the slightest moral compass. With this said her so called partner in lack of ethics (Connie Mack) just doubles the embarrassment. These two carried on an affair all over the country leaving their respective families in shambles. Both continued to campaign for contributions thru their families contacts, while arranging schedules on the taxpayers dime to meet for sex. These two are the poster children for "bad politics" and even worse politcal "bedfellows". She is a slut and he is the perfect definition of Washington gone bad.
