(135,425 posts)FDR treated Eleanor like shit. Bill was "a hard dog to keep on the porch" to Hillary. Edwards betrayed his wife and embarrassed his entire family. Eliot Spitzer humiliated his family. Anthony Weiner behaved like a complete and total dog towards his wife Huma.
So yeah, I do know--it's not like these things are secret. And Grayson has eagerly lived his drama out in public--to the point of leaking that video, taken by his aide. It IS everybody's "God Damn business" because GRAYSON, himself, has MADE it everybody's "God Damn business."
He isn't trying to be private about this at all--instead, he is playing to the media in the hope of getting an advantage; it's not resonating with me, especially when his little "gotcha" tape has no discernable audio and is edited and missing nearly a minute of material.
Someone with that much money doesn't have to be so cheap and miserable. He doesn't need to give his wife so little money that she needs to take food stamps to feed her children.
His hatred of his spouse--and, sketchy divorce or not, he held her out as his spouse for nearly a quarter century-- is blinding his judgment. He needs to get correct, resolve this, and move on, not try to cut the mother of his children out of their lives like he's doing.
