1. Ewww...

19. It is eww, but two divorced adult dating doesn't upset me

Heck even if it started before the signature, I don't care. Too much other stuff going on.

[Tal Vez]

2. I think that they deserve one another. :)

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. There are quite a few people who've never been divorced nor had an affair

Your last line implies such a thing isn't possible. Sorry, but shockingly it is.

[merrily]

4. Leaving a husband of 25 years and the father of her children for a twice-divorced guy who

left his last Congressional term five months into it would not be a genius move, IMO.

And let's not even discuss the intern.

5. In my experience, love rarely is logical.

I'm not knocking anyone's romantic life; lord knows mine's been messy enough.

[merrily]

6. Meh. I said it was not a genius move and I gave my reasons.

[cwydro]

28. Oh, I agree with you completely.

I just know love never seems to make sense.

[lostnfound]

7. +1 and what it looks like from the outside is usually different on the inside

People are entitled to find their own happiness.
I hope it is a mutual and amicable decision with her and her husband, that's all.
Life is endlessly surprising and resistance to change is often futile.

[CentralMass]

12. That is rarely the case.

I was "shanked" after 28 years last year.

[lostnfound]

15. I'm sorry ...

I hope it gets easier and better.
🌸🌻
28 years is a really long time.
So much change to go through. ✌️

[merrily]

23. I'm so sorry.

I have noticed, too, that, somehow, parties manage to limp through what one or both say is an "unbearable" marriage, until one or both find someone else (or someone else finds him or her).

[AngryAmish]

11. I saw shit all the time growing up.

I learned one lesson:. One should not fuck up your kids childhood because one feels "love" or bored or one wants to find someone new who makes I one's crotch feel nice. This has fucked up so many of my peers' lives. Once one becomes a parent one does not get to play Russian roulette with your children's lives.

I know nothing of this Mika's particular circumstance. But if she is running away from her family they will hate her forever.

[lostnfound]

16. Two daughters and younger one just graduated from high school.

Looks like they stayed together long enough for the kids to grow up.

[AngryAmish]

17. In that case, mayhaps my judgment was kinda harsh.

[cwydro]

18. I have to agree in regards to children.

Luckily for me, that's never been an issue.

[TheDebbieDee]

21. Yes! Let's NOT discuss Joe's dead intern, Lori Klasutis I believe her name is...

No. Let's NOT discuss Joe's intern. Did I mention that she was dead? Her body was found under mysterious circumstances....

[merrily]

24. Yes. I for one refuse to mention Mrs. Dead Intern. Her husband did not miss her the night she died

because he was out of town. I guess that was the reason she was spending the night at the office?

[TheDebbieDee]

25. I said were not supposed to discuss JOE'S DEAD INTERN....

We should NOT discuss the strange circumstances surrounding her mysterious murd...er, ugh DEATH!

[merrily]

26. I could not agree more. I staunchly oppose all mention of the dead, married intern.

[TheDebbieDee]

35. Are you sure the dead, married intern wasn't also PREGNANT, too!

I think it was posited that the dead intern was pregnant and running a DNA test on the infant's remains might reveal who the father was....But we know that the father COULDN'T be Joe...

[merrily]

36. I refuse to mention the dead intern or her husband or her baby or the coroner who got fired.

8. Gross

[TreasonousBastard]

13. None of my business...

I know real couples breaking up and won't get involved if I don't have to.

[Surya Gayatri]

14. So, will "Squint and the Meat Puppet" get hitched? How will that work out for the "show"?

Not that I give a monkey's toss.

(a nod to Charlie Pierce: http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a20153/a-brand-new-day/, for the inventive epithet)

[TheDebbieDee]

22. I find it shocking that so many posters have come into this thread

to respond to the rumors of Joe and Mika's romance with, "I don't care."

[no_hypocrisy]

27. James Carville and Mary Matalin they ain't.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. ^^^ THIS ^^^

[PearliePoo2]

29. If Mika and Scar have indeed hooked up, I am REALLY disappointed in her.

I thought she was more intelligent than that.
Scar is a rude, bombastic, arrogant Re-Thug. A freakin' RE-THUG. Mika, how could you?

Leaving your husband for a guy your own father ( Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski) said of him, "You have such a stunningly superficial knowledge of what went on that it's almost embarrassing to listen to you."

[Chemisse]

31. I had a low opinion of her to start with. n/t

[Chemisse]

30. That may explain why Mika does not show any political contrast with Joe anymore.

Not that it was ever very stark or well-articulated. But lately they seem to have an understanding in which they are of a single mind on issues - Joe's, of course.

[OnDoutside]

32. Absolutely correct. She's his lapdog. Sighs and Clinton Hating is her schtick.

[lapucelle]

33. Years back, it was a good show,

but now it reminds me of the cool/mean kids table in the middle school lunchroom. At other times it's like watching Peter Pan with Mika in the role of Wendy trying to rein in all the naughty boys showing off to impress her.

Joe (or maybe Willie) let it slip a few months ago that Mika had bet Mike Barnicle a pick-up truck that Trump would win the Republican nomination. I'm not sure if it was a serious bet, but it did underscore how out of touch they are with regular people.
