Lori Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'm with you Clair. I was absolutely in total shock when he won a second term. I lost pretty much all faith in my fellow Americans. I was so ashamed.As to the "Newt." I read he has a reputation for extramarital affairs. Me, I don't see the attraction ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 But what an excellent expression (from the article/interview): "There are times I have fallen short of my own standards ...". I'll have to remember that one (maybe a "get out of hypocrisy free card").Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debandbee Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Living in California and having "Arnie" as a govenor, I can tell you that American politics are a joke. I am English but have lived here 20 years. I did not vote for GWB and I have no idea how on earth he got in a second time. I can't even believe that we have a flipping actor as a "gubernator." Are politics anywhere realistic anymore? It seems to be that what the popular vote is versus what actually happens is a joke. Well, at least it is here...

Will Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think it has something to do with France. After all, the French virtually invented the political extra-marital affair (not to mention the various other fiddles) and do try to maintain their position, despite the attempts by the Americans, not forgettiing the Prescotts of this world, to outdo them. Mind you, the present batch of French candidates seem a bit boring in that respect, notwithstanding Sego's wealth tax and Sarko's Paris flat - way behind Chirac in the dodginess stakes.
