Marriage Impossible?
Wow. Meghan McCain is just, like, so cool and stuff.
France—home of my absolute favorite foreign first lady, Carla Bruni—perfected the laissez-faire attitude toward the sex lives of its public leaders. Not here. We hold our politicians to impossible standards. We elect them, put our hopes and dreams for a brighter future on that one person, and then expect sainthood.Millions of married men manage to stay faithful to their wives. There's nothing "impossible" about fidelity, and I have little patience with the 'peer pressure' argument McCain attempts here. I tend to agree that we should forgive politicians their personal failings. However, we should not emulate countries that have moved from forgiveness to near-acceptance. There's nothing admirable about accepting faithlessness.
