Stand By Your Man
Just got done reading two accounts of two women...one is Elizabeth Edwards as news has broke that she is gravelly ill and that she will no longer receive treatment for cancer.
Let's recap her years in the limelight. She lost a son in a car accident. Her husband had two runs at president, but turned out to be a liar, a cheater, and a louse who had another child with another woman all the way claiming he was dedicated.
She has publicly fought cancer, and argued for health care reform, while losing the battle that will claim her in weeks or at best two months.
The other woman is Jamie McCourt the estranged wife of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt. These two gems have been in court for over a year as the squabble over the millions of dollars that they can't seem to be able to split up. Now it seems as if they are going to co-own the team.
They were married for 30 years. The public squabble over their divorce has allowed all of the marital secrets to come out, and the fight for money will continue for years and years.
I have always proposed that there should be an out-clause in a marriage agreement. You know how AJ Burnett had an option written into his contract with the Blue Jays? They should do that in marriage as well. Five year deals. The end in sight. The you keep your shit, I'll keep mine, always in line.
The two women that I read about today seem to be 180 degrees different from one another.
Edwards, who has every right to be pissed, is acting like a lady filled with class, and free of regret and McCourt wants to bury her husband under her shoe and doesn't care how long it takes.
They've already spent 20 million on legal fees!
I don't know. I see it all happening from a seat that seems soft and secure. After reading about Edwards, and hearing horror stories from a friend of a friend, I asked Kathy if she had any secrets she wanted to divulge.
"Yeah, I'm running a business on the side in the time it takes me to bring the kids to basketball practice. We are mere weeks away from throwing you out on your ass."
There's just so much to trust in a given situation, and it never feels right to comment to someone about their own relationships...
...hell, I thought OJ and Nicole made a cute couple...
But when the crap hits the fan, shouldn't there be a civil way to break it up and move on without crushing the person that you were supposed to be in love with?
Elizabeth Edwards seems to get it. The McCourts don't have a clue. I hope the lawyers get every last cent and the Dodgers fold and move back to Brooklyn.
