"Let me in on what's wrong or illegal or unseemly about marrying a 2nd cousin. I've forgotten."
You cannot seriously say you do not see any humor value in this fact?
I mean, jokes like "What is the difference between a sophisticated NY Mayor, presidential candidate and a West Virginia trailer park....." practically write themselves.
I didn't ask anything about "humor." I haven't mentioned "humor." If you think it's funny, that's fine. No harm in jokes. I simply didn't find that Rudy had done anything illegal or morally wrong--contrary to a number of people on this thread.
