It's a little surreal to see how the allegation of an affair is
normally handled when the guilty party doesn't get politicized
defense.

Past a certain point in the security clearance hierarchy, an affair
is as good as a resignation.


Of course, but this is the way these things are normally handled.

The case of Herman Cain was handled "normally" too. He asked a girl if she
wanted to go to a hotel. Now if he had sent a state trooper to aquisition
her and take her to the hotel room and asked her to "kiss it", and if he was
now President Elect, I wouldn't call that normal.

But the long course of events seems surreal when people act with such
astounding hypocrisy as if it's all ok.


The only way I can stand the noise at all is to realize that it *is*
surreal to begin with, that all the framing and making-into-narrative
distorts things so badly that what's left is nothing.


what if the woman is a spy?
