22. He admitted he was a fuckup, and he apologized. You want him to rip out his beating heart

and hand it to you?

You're not gonna get that.

FWIW, your "saxaphone player" is not divorced, and his child didn't have to accept welfare in order to get by. Grayson can't say the same about his five children.


Here's the bottom line--people are responsible for what THEY say. Not what "ex-mistresses" might or might not say.

America is a nation of second chances. Grayson--by HIS conduct--is shutting the door on a second chance. He needs to be quiet and try to resolve this matter, not call the mother of his FIVE children who has spent a QUARTER CENTURY of her life raising them names.


The saxaphone player you're whining about is still married and has earned the forgiveness of his family and pretty much anyone who didn't hate him in the first place. He didn't make disparaging statements about his wife, unlike this unhinged fellow who probably doesn't realize that his career is self-destructing before his eyes.


When in doubt, "No comment" is the best tactic--Grayson has disgraced himself, not his spouse, with his comments, and he has embarrassed his children, who carry his name and will be subjected to scrutiny as a consequence of his intemperate remarks.
