I'm sure she done cussed him out, right after she lied to protect him ("I don't know where he is"). I, too, would have enjoyed the gay lover angle - we don't get enough squirming among people anymore.
On a completely related note . . . is this another step toward the public simply not caring what public figures do on their own time? I'm pretty unconcerned by the "Politicians are douche bags" angle - I mean really, a cheating politician?!? Heavens to Thomas Jefferson's illegitimate kids! - but with Manny Ramirez getting a standing ovation, Jon and Kate having their highest-rated show ever, etc., do we at some point become apathetic (or even morbidly addicted) to scandal? Or are politicians held to a different standard?

That's what really scares me. Have we all become so jaded that we'll accept any conduct, so long as we get warm fuzzies about someone? Or have politicians become so synonymous with corruption that we haven't a snowball's chance of ever having a decent one represent us?
