Those of us who had the "pleasure" of living through the Monica Lewinsky scandal remember how obsessed the press was with Hillary's reaction to the whole sorry saga. Would she stay with Bill? If so, would that make her a loyal wife, or a doormat? How would her handling of the Monica revelations square with her identity as a woman/feminist/First Lady/ambitious-person-with-lady-parts? (God knows the pundits never could, and still never can, handle the idea of an ambitious-person-with-lady-parts.)
Now, Robert Mueller has issued two sentencing memos that discuss illicit payments to silence women with whom Donald Drumpf had sexual relations outside of marriage. And not only is the evangelical community silent on the subject — we're not hearing anybody talk about Melania.
What is Melania thinking? Is she mad? Humiliated? Shrugging? Will she stay with Donald, or not? If she does stay with him, or if she divorces him after he's left the White House/dead/in prison, what does that say about her?
Crickets. Dead air. Is it because it's been 20 years, and times have changed? Or because the press is disgustingly, relentlessly Hillary-hating and hypocritical? We cats are betting on the latter, and we HISS.
