I still think most of the PUBLIC onus is on Jesse, since the "other woman" didn't have an international reputation, family, wife, supporters and, oh yeah, GOD, to whom he pledged to serve when he was ordained as a MINISTER, to think about. I don't condone this type of behavior from either party, BUT don't be so quick to "put it on" this woman. And that "men will be men" and can't-hold-themselves-together crap doesn't wash with me. If this is so, then why are we still allowing men to control our national and international governments and businesses, since they seem to be so out of control?

BTW, one of the sorors I made back in the day told me that her mom was hit on by Jesse after he spoke at a church in their hometown. When I shared that info with my mom, she just laughed and said that in her day, the big open secret in Chicago was how much both Jesse AND his wife got down with other folks. I mention this to make the point that today's news didn't surprise me.

Another BTW: I'm sure the right is LOVING this little tidbit now!
