But in the superheated rhetoric of Terri Schiavo's last months, critics called him an adulterer because he had taken up with another woman while still married.

You mean sleeping with someone not your wife while you're still married isn't adultery anymore? How many other words have had their meaning changed while I wasn't paying attention?

...and she wore a WHITE gown. An adulteress, with 2 children by her adulterer/murderer...

And a PRIEST performed the wedding? I hope they went to confession first.
