But something about this makes me pause.
Why, actually YES. And this story offers all the clues. People don't go into the nursing home business because it is a cash cow. They do it because they fancy themselves as compassionate caregivers so, right off the bat, that makes them trend to the Democrats. Add in their dependancy on federal and state money because the old people can't afford their meds and, bingo, the Dems have them right where they want them.
Next comes Gov. Slick who meets Miss Hottie at some community outreach thing as he's trolling for senior citizen votes. Miss Hottie sees she can gain "access to power" and liven up her world that is deadly dull hearing the complaints of old people and their ailments all day long. She gives in for that first rendezvous with Gov. Slick and the whole story is set from there. When she becomes too much trouble, off she goes to a lifetime of shame and disgrace (and, if she's lucky, book signings, a spread in Playboy and the next 15-minute talking head on cable television).
As disgraceful as Gov. Patton probably is, this woman is just a slut. What makes her think that a roll in the hay is going to help her business and not cause her marriage to suffer? I guarantee you she was thinking only of herself and the "bragging rights" of bedding a governor, not how the governor could help her business - that's just the excuse she uses to make herself feel better about being a whore.
I feel the most sorry for Mr. Connor. Although who knows what liaisons he's been having during all this?
