Not many things unite the two candidates for New York attorney general, except a shared legacy of immense pain from the foulest betrayal. Republican Jeanine Pirro was in the news this week as she went public with the blatant infidelity of her husband who seems to have been a serial philanderer and father of an illegitimate child. Democrat Andrew Cuomo’s life and family were torn apart a few years ago when his now ex-wife Kerry, mother of his three kids, was caught engaging in repeated adultery with a polo player. As to why Cuomo, a rather semi-intelligent lawyer of a decent background, would marry a woman whose genetics have been hard wired for adultery (Kerry Kennedy Cuomo is a granddaughter of Joseph P. and niece of John F. Kennedy), only he knows. Nobody , not even liberal Democrats, deserve the pain and devastation that adultery brings.
It is a telling expose of thoroughly confused attitudes that cracking insensitive jokes is a matter considered worthy of public condemnation and accountability, while betraying your spouse is a ‘private’ matter better left hushed up and eventually forgotten.
