The author is talking about the situation in Detroit, where Mayor Kwame Fitzpatrick has been disclosed to have carried on a sexual affair with a subordinate that also included up to 300 sexual text messages A DAY. His wife is standing by her philandering husband, and author Geveryl Robinson is disturbed by that decision.

And you can't tell me that the observation does not also apply to one of the candidates in the presidential race.

So let me get this straight. Her husband lied to her, lied to the city, lied under oath, sent some other broad 300 love/sex text messages A DAY and she pledged her undying love for him?

I just don't get it.

Why is it that so many high-profile women stay with men who constantly cheat on them? Why do so many relatively intelligent women choose to stay with philandering losers whose idea of monogamy is having one mistress at a time? If you ask me, Mrs. Kirkpatrick needs to do two things: pimp slap her husband, and then call a divorce lawyer.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read, "Vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President in 2008." Can you believe that? It's sad, but the reality is when ladies, especially high profile ladies, stay with their trampy husbands it sends a message that quite frankly I don't appreciate.

I don't view a woman who consistently puts up with her husband's infidelities as a "strong woman." It's quite the contrary. Only a woman with low self-esteem would subject herself to constant humiliation and disrespect by the man who vowed to "forsake all others."

I understand that we should forgive, but forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation. If someone is truly sorry for his or her behavior then the behavior will cease. However, if a person continues to repeat the behavior that he or she has apologized for, then that person is NOT REMORSEFUL.

That bumper sticker Robinson mentions really does illustrate teh point. Hillary Clinton, who spent years defending the indefensible when her husband engaged in serial infidelity and lied about it to the American people and under oath to a court, is not a strong woman. Indeed, she is a weak, pathetic soul who merits our pity, not our admiration or respect -- and certainly not our votes. Just as the infidelity of Rudy Giuliani removed him from consideration for the presidency for many of us, so too should the co-dependent enabling behavior of Mrs. Clinton be viewed as a disqualifying factor when she clearly intends to involve the philandering scumbag in her administration.
