For technical reasons, I post stuff for some other reporters. As I said, in those cases, I add that they reported it in the second or third graf.

Two high profile women, Sally Quinn and Lee Woodruff, have been debating the question in the blogosphere, Rob Christensen reports.

Wasn't John the father of their child that died? Why does she get a pass but he doesn't? I'm not defending him (he's too slick), but the death of a child impacts BOTH parents.

Elizabeth hid her husbands infidelity during the latest primary season. Why? She chose being first lady over telling the truth.

NO! We cannot believe anything she says either.

It says you wrote this post, RTB. Did I miss something?

Sorry this is two year old news being spun for no reason other than something new to gossip about. This is not news!

Just a quick reminder: I don't write everything that appears on the blog. You can see who posted it in the gray type at the top. If that's not also the author, then I'll say so-and-so reported in the second or third graf.

"First of all, any woman who has lost a child gets a pass for life from me."

But the problem, Quinn writes, is "she let him do it."

Quinn has an interesting definition of "a pass for life." I don't know about you guys, but when I give someone a "pass for life," that normally precludes me from blaming them for their spouse's infidelity.

Of course, it's also a nice little window into the nice little mind of RTB. Here we have two catty women (well, one anyways) prying and speculating into the private life of the wife of a former politician. RTB finds this newsworthy. Interesting.
