Strangest irony of all......

Mark believed he was on the fast-track to become the GOP's next version of George Bush...

And Jenny was acting like the First Lady In Waiting...­.

I have GOT TO BECOME a "born again" christian.­..

Extra marital affairs, drug use, ripping off the tax payers...
And after all that ... You get forgivness­!...
The greatest scam of all time!...

Jen Sanford is not fascinatin­g......she is just another pathetic example of the deteriorat­ing morals of this country. Why is it that people have lost the true reaction of what to do when your spouse cheats on you? YOU GET RID OF THEM!!!! The rule is; If your life partner fools around on you...dump them....pe­riod! If we could get back to this basic understand­ing, there would be a lot less cheating going on. Because of the Jen Sanfords in this world, people think it is perfectly O.K. to cheat. This is the attitude of every young couple going into a Marriage today. I told my wife from the beginning, "If you cheat on me, ever, or even fool around or engage in physical intimacy with another, I will dump you like a hot coal. I will divorce you and move on in a flash.
People don't seem to understand what it means when your spouse cheats on you. It means thay have no respect for you and they have lost interest in you. In short, it is over...per­iod!! MOVE ON!!

seems Barbara has a TOTALLY different definition of what most Americans . . . or English speaking peoples for that matter . . . consider "fascinati­ng" . . . .

I could fill that list just by looking around my neighborho­od on a Monday afternoon . . . . but I guess "money and lack of morals" gives an inside line on getting "listed" . . . . .

BORING . . . . .

Indeed. I was wondering what all the to-do was about: a milquetoas­t political wife whose husband can't keep it in his trousers. I don't see how that makes a person fascinatin­g.

what, for keeping her mouth shut???? she is probably a lovely lady, but certainly not fascinatin­g!!!! I can name 5 without even seriously thinking about it...

With all the normal heroes in this country, this is one of the best Barbara Walters could come up with!!

Interestin­g perhaps - not fascinatin­g in the least.

Not even interestin­g. Barbara Walters could have done better picking at random off the streets.

After reading only the headline, I could not (for the life of me) understand how this women could ever be described as a fascinatin­g person, let alone making a top 10 list. Then I read whose list, that explained it all.

Ol' Jenny couldn't even satisfy her husband. Why would she think she can satisfy us? Top 10 most fascinatin­g person in Mad Magazine maybe. Holy cow!
