1. very nice
too bad a lot of meriKans still don't get it....

<snip>

Today, however, is not the time to analyze or to debate. And it is certainly not a day to celebrate. Today is a sad day for America. When an indictment is delivered at the front door of the White House, the Office of the President is defiled. No citizen can take pleasure from that.
As this case proceeds, Valerie and I are confident that justice will be done. In the meantime, I have a request. While I may engage in public discourse, my wife and my family are private people. They did not choose to be brought into the public square, and they do not wish to be under the glare of camera. They are entitled to their privacy. This case is not about me or my family, no matter how others might try to make it so.

This case is about serious criminal charges that go to the heart of our democracy.

4. In one sense, this statement may back-fire...
The more Valerie's husband and lawyer contend that she is a "private woman" who does not want to become a media star, the more she will become a media star.

An ordinary suburban "desperate housewife" who happens to have a secret James Bond style career on the side--who's gonna be able to resist this stuff!!!!

That's just how things happen in a silly celebrity-focused culture like ours. ;-)

5. I think Valerie is "the real deal" private woman ...
She's far too moral and, in general, respectful of her family and country to go what used to be referred to as the "Jerry Springer - Type World tour ... now called "desperate housewife" :puke:

No, she will not come up front. Some people really do place personal dignity over their lust for money and celebrity. She is one of them.

6. That won't stop her from being a star, whether she likes it or not!
Poor girl, the paparazzi will trail her unto the ends of this Earth...
