It's also possible that Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband have a
pact which is a political one.  JFK and Jacqueline Onassis were going to
divorce but didn't because of JFK's political roadmap.  I wouldn't
classify her as Sati.  She's standing by her politics.  Furthermore, the
Republicans have nothing on either Hillary or Bill except a sex scandal.
What sets the US back is that the moralizing finger pointers are no
saints themselves...it's just political blood thirst by a House
majority.
