Stand by your man: Republicans and marriage
Hillary said in 1992, regarding Gennifer Flowers, "I'm not some Tammy Wynette standing by my man."

Look how young they were. They had no idea how much hate awaited them.

It turns out that although Bill Clinton "was a hard dog to keep on the...

the only one who embarrassed the 4 women and himself is sherwood. let's just hope the democrats will run a candidate against him and get him out of office because he was handed that seat in the first place!!!!

He also has 3 daughters, close in age!!! However, he's not a preditor- he's just a pig. I have known Mr Sherwood since I was 10. As a former voter (D) in the district, I voted for Mr. Sherwood(R). If I still lived there and he really didn't try to strangle this woman, I would again vote for him, because he is good at what he does. I think that he is doing a good job fighting to rejuvenate his district, both creating jobs and new business. Could he do more? Of course he could do more, but most Congressmen could. So your saying "how could you say that?" I believe that people should be in office because they are truly trying to improve their country, state, district, city, etc. Having an affair with a woman 35 years younger than him is not a crime- nor a sin. I do feel sorry for Mrs. Sherwood, because she is one the kindest women that I have ever met. What a elected offical, or any one for that matter does with their sex life is THEIR business. If the cops get called and no charges are filed, why is this coming out? It's a just political smear campaign that I had enough of all last year. I hope that the Democrat that brought that out to the public is happy that he most definately embarrassed 4 women- Sherwood's wife and 3 daughters. It's downright depressing that political parties can not be civil anymore. I hope her charge is untrue. Yet, I can't help feeling disappointed with Don Sherwood- not as a Congressman, but as a person.

Anyone else thinking of the foot-rub discussion in Pulp Fiction? No? Never mind.

The story said his web site says he's been married for 33 years.

Soon to be updated to "was married for 33 years, now divorced".

BTW, he met this girl at a Young Republicans meeting. He's a preditor.

The story didn't say if he was married. Anyone know.

Giving backrubs to a woman more than 35 years your junior, even to your daughter(granddaughter?)'s best friend is risky at best for a married, conservative politician, donchathink?

I don't think my wife would be too interested or sympathetic to whatever explanations I were to offer up for such an indiscretion.

If it was a setup, it sure worked.

Sherwood's "Choking Spell" Cynthia Ore, 29, has told Washington Metropolitan Police that Representative Robert Sherwood (R-Pennsylvania) began choking her after giving her a backrub in his DC apartment. This took place last September, no charges were filed, and the police repor...

Of course, it generally shouldn't be the public's business when it comes to what appears to be a consensual relationship.

But Sherwood has a strong history of supporting government interference in peoples' private affairs, so this case is a bit ironic.

since this is clearly a paramedical opportunity requiring only modest training in the kitchens of old ladies.) Clearly anhedonic outrage is back, but why did it leave, even briefly? Did it have to do, you think, with the elections, and certain mistress-strangling, boy-seducing, and meth-and-whore-engaging behaviors that made these folks think they should maybe lay off the Elmer Gantry horseshit for a spell? Sometimes I think they've worked out the attention span of the average media consumer to the nanosecond.

love to purchase one of your calendars. As a loyal republican, there would be nothing better than a calendar featuring the many faces of the Republican party in my kitchen, cubicle, and den. I hope the calendar includes the stars of the past year: Don Sherwood (with his wife Cynthia Ore), Tom DeLay, Rick Santorum (at Terri Schiavo’s bedside), Randy Duke Cunningham on his boat the Duke Stir, John Sweeney (wearing boxing gloves perhaps), and of course the man who dedicated his life to protecting children from Internet predators, Mark
