No. calista (aka plastic surgery victim) clearly has self-esteem issues,
women like that kow-tow to anything with a big wallet. Kind of like Anna Nicole Smith

Decent women with a brain would NOT be in her position, believe me, I doubt she has ever had a real career, other than a DC wannabee. (If you want a glimpse of these type mannequins, watch real housewives of beverly hills, they have no substance).

please dont think all women are like that, seems the GOP attracts the particularly plastic-surgery addicted, borderline personality types. (Cindy Mccain, pill addiction, etc.)

I don't think that Hillary's 'personal ambition' is necessarily the reason they are still together. Bill never told Hillary that she 'wasn't pretty enough to be a president's wife' or urged her to accept an 'open marriage'. Newt on the other hand treated his ex-wives like dirt.

I don't think we can know, really, what conversations married couples have in private or what unspoken 'agreements' they may have come to. Many president's wives looked the other way while their husbands had affairs. I don't believe that they did not know, they just did not want to be reminded of it, demanded a bit of discretion.

What do people think is worse, having one marriage with an occasional something on the side, or having multiple marriages?
