This is outrageous. And on the front page of the New York Times no less. A U.S. Senator and her former-president husband don't see each other as much as "normal" married couples? Next you'll tell me Donald Trump doesn't change his new baby's diapers!
How Hillary Clinton's marriage and the amount of time she spends with her husband have anything to do with her qualifications for higher office is beyond me. Why doesn't the Times come straight out and say what it really means: Bill and Hillary are in a sexless marriage of convenience where he gets to play around with his bachelor buddies and she exerts an ice-cold focus on her presidential aspirations. So much for the so-called liberal media.
Even more amazing to me was the fact that interviews had been conducted with "some 50 people" for the article. If only that many people had been interviewed about WMDs.
I doubt we'll see similar stories analyzing the amount of time John McCain spends at home or the dates Rudy Giuliani goes on with Judith Nathan. Granted, neither of these men are married to former presidents of the United States, but the article reeked of sexism from the headline on. I'd write a letter to the editor, but I suspect the editorial page will be filled with reader's throughts on this useless piece.
