Just another cheatin’ politician

Just another cheatin’ politician

Posted on May 18th, 2010 by Glenn Giangrande

At age 28, I’m still young enough to get into politics if I choose to. I probably won’t, but if I do, I’m going to make sure I’m single.

Another public figure bites the dust, with an Indiana representative becoming the latest to leave office in personal disgrace. The conduct of some men elected to serve as the official leaders of our country continues to disappoint. Haven’t any of these politicians in question heard of divorce? Maybe some of them don’t believe in the procedure or fear image problems, but if that’s the case, they really shouldn’t be getting married. Nobody takes the whole “’til death do us part” bit of the marital vows seriously anymore. Plus, what’s worse – divorcing for the right reasons or being forced to leave office for the wrong ones?

Obviously, politicians are human, so maybe they want the life company of a marriage. Others might just want a wife as a way of showing how in touch with ‘family values’ they are.

The more of these relationships I hear about though, it makes me think that a politician who embraces and enjoys the single life would be a big step forward for our country.
