But some of these things are looked at more tolerantly in Europe than they are in North America so a politician must be well aware that such an indiscretion can ruin his career. In the theatrical world it doesn't matter so much, its all publicity.<br /><br />I find I am now looking at some of the famous people of the North Americas and thinking "have you???"Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-57227261581878549492011-05-18T18:41:14.011-04:002011-05-18T18:41:14.011-04:00Jo, I think men in power draw women and it doesn&#...Jo, I think men in power draw women and it doesn't matter whether it's politics, entertainment, or corporate. Not only that, but men and women in power/wealth have a certain sense on entitlement. <br /><br />Think about it. 700 years ago aristocrats sent their daughters (and sons) to court to land a well connected spouse for the family coffers. Hey, if the King took her as mistress, all the better. They've been bartering daughters for thousands of years for wealth and political influence for the family. Nothing new there.<br /><br />Still happens today, in one form or another. No surprise that many marriages are contracted for political goals or wealth or both.<br /><br />In this side of the world, we tend to think most marriages are a love match rather than expediency.<br /><br />Not saying it wasn't with the Schwarzeneggers or the Edwards, but since the general public look at marriage as love and loyalty, it doesn't matter why the couples came together, it damages their reps, in the voting public's eyes.<br /><br />Then there is the thought, it takes <b>two</b> to have an affair. The woman could have said no, too. Just sayin'<br /><br />Love that cake recipe!<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye's Thoughts...OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.com
