Chewing the Fat with Bettye

Who's Making Love to Your Old Lady While You Were Out Making Love

Let me get this right . . . the President was getting a blow job in the Oval Office, which he dismissed as not sexual relations (yeah . . . just a snack). The governor of New Jersey was having a menage a trois with his wife and other men (but his wife said she had no idea he was bisexual when she filed for divorce). The governor of New York was flying hookers down to D.C. with public funds. The marriage of his replacement, with both him and his wife admitting to extramarital affairs, is best expressed by the Johnnie Taylor classic from which I quoted above.

How the heck does anything get done in the world of politics, with everybody out fucking all the time?

Who's making love to your old lady, while you've been out making love... LOL. That is the perfect song for the private lives of public figures these days it seems. Good pick, Bettye!

Don't get me wrong; my upcoming novel contains adulterous sex. But who needs to read a steamy novel with all these goings-on with real people?

Gwyneth, I'm sure all these couples love each other very much . . . until somebody gets pissed about something and holds a hell of a grudge (this stepping out apparently went on for several years). I'm glad they patched it up, but I can't help thinking that something is very wrong with our society today.; March 18, 2008

I agree - "I'd respect them more if there'd been no need to air the dirty laundry."

All of this is too sad. Sad, sad, sad! Does anyone in politics or religion believe in fidelity anymore? I say religion because from what we've seen recently, it's not much different behind those closed doors. Maybe folks need release after dealing with such high-level stress. Understandable but gee!

Raquetball, anyone?; March 20, 2008
bettye griffin said...: Shelia, I've been humming that damn song for the last two days. Can't get it out of my head!

Mel, That was a good one!

Patricia, Normally I do try to watch my mouth, but every once in a while some real crank comes through. And I'd love to play racquetball. My cough can be the ball. I'd sure like to beat the hell out of it.; March 20, 2008
