      <![CDATA[As long as Dustin, Andi and Bobbi are in the news, they're happy!<br>
<br>
So, one more time:<br>
<br>
Sociopaths are infamous for their acting skills. They’ve practiced them all their lives. Trust me (or Google it).<br>
<br>
In Tinseltown, where faking sincerity is an honorable profession, I know all about it. (Though Stella Adler once said, “You can be as phony as you like, OFFSTAGE: but NEVER on.”)<br>
<br>
The Reward for sociopaths, as for most criminals, is the adrenalin rush from getting away with (or trying to) cheating people and society in one form or another. A mea culpa Press Conference, often accompanied by references to God, is at the top of the performance art list.<br>
<br>
Dustin McDaniel cheated on his first wife with his current second wife. Never forget that she is ALSO a cheater. So this game is equally exciting to both, by definition. (So is the on-camera performance for their willing and eager public.)<br>
<br>
Forgiveness is easy. Forgetting is stupid.<br>
<br>
From other comments, it appears your Dustin (and his suit-happy father) has been grandstanding all his life. There is no reason to suppose he has or will stop. Cheating is addictive, until one bottoms out and seeks rehab.<br>
<br>
Before some bozo compares McDaniel to President Clinton (virtually inevitable), recall several points.<br>
<br>
1) There are always exceptions that prove the rule.<br>
<br>
2) Bill Clinton, unlike Dustin McDaniel, is a highly accomplished man: third youngest President; Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Georgetown University; Rhodes Scholar and Oxford University attendee.<br>
<br>
3) Will Bill Clinton be remembered as one of the greatest Presidents ever? “While he’s not there yet, it’s trending strongly in that direction.”<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fi</a>…<br>
<br>
4) Neither Bill Clinton nor his wife, Hillary, sought a divorce because of his philandering. Unlike McDaniel, they’ve long since proved they took their For Better Or For Worse commitment seriously (eliciting rage among many, who prefer ratings-driven Reality TV Drama to adult sanity, perspective and maturity).<br>
<br>
5) Clinton’s wife is equally accomplished: a lawyer and Secretary of State. (She accurately—and publicly—nailed the “vast right-wing conspiracy” before anybody else, back in the day, to the media’s acute discomfort.)<br>
<br>
By comparison, Dustin McDaniel and the cast in this tawdry Arkansas spectacle (including Andi Davis, who from previous A-T threads seems more qualified for Secretary of Sluts than for a reputable law practice) is pissed at (so far) missing her Big Drama public payoff. Still, she whines on gamely.<br>
<br>
“I feel hamstrung by the legal complexities that exist in my life at this juncture as they prevent me from speaking freely.”<br>
<br>
“Being patient and waiting for the prudent time to release my truth is extremely taxing.”<br>
<br>
Not “the” truth: her truth.<br>
<br>
"I'm disappointed. I'm frustrated with the form, manner and content presented by Dustin."<br>
<br>
On and on, these trashy wannabes stretch out their fifteen minutes of fame in vain hopes of signing a Trifecta Entertainment deal.<br>
<br>
Or a Governorship.<br>
<br>
“Hicks in Heat.”<br>
<br>

      <![CDATA[The only possible way to make Tom Cotton look good is to have him stand beside Beth Anne Rankin.  And that's a really low bar.  (It's not a compliment in other words.)
