14. "Gold digger?" After a quarter CENTURY and FIVE kids?
Tue May 19, 2015, 11:47 AM
May 2015

What in hell is the matter with that guy? Even if they disagree on distribution of assets, even if their relationship has irretrievably broken down, that is a shitty thing to say about someone who stuck by him for 25 years. What does it say about HIM that he would a) Marry a "gold digger," and b) Have not one, not two, not three, not four, but FiVE kids with the little "tramp?" Jury--that's some Heavy, HEAVY for the irony impaired, there....

He has dragged the MOTHER of his children through the mud. He has made a spectacle of her--and himself. The term is sexist. He should check HIS judgment when it comes to whom he decides to associate--for a quarter frigging century--rather than toss shitbombs like "gold digger." Of course, "gold diggers" only go after hideous, ugly cretinous guys with money, so perhaps he's saying more about himself than his spouse when he throws bombs like that.

He tried to tout his girlfriend to the DHCC as a viable candidate for his seat so he could run for the Senate (all that went over like the proverbial lead balloon--the DSCC won't back him in his run).

He didn't fix the septic system in the family home, either--and there were pictures to prove it. That's what was causing all the mold.

He's behaving disgracefully. He looks bloated, slovenly, unkempt. Middle-aged crazy. He needs to shut up about his personal life, and try to behave in a gentlemanly way--it's probably too late for that. He provided so poorly for his family that his spouse was able to apply for welfare assistance--and I'm quite sure they double-checked how much money was coming in, too.

What we are seeing here is the self-destruction of a person who up to now has been a reliable Democratic vote in Congress. It's a crying shame.
