Bob Kerrey's (D) wife "may be the only political spouse who has ever voiced hope that her husband would become embroiled in a sex scandal," the Omaha World Herald reports.
Sarah Paley, a lifelong New Yorker and writer who once worked for Saturday Night Live, "goes where few political wives go in the article. She openly discusses her personal campaign to end his candidacy before it began -- 'hysteria, tantrums, sulking' -- and the discomfort a self-described private person feels on the campaign trail as she is hugged by strangers."
Writes Paley: "I am not a political animal. I'm not even a social animal. My idea of a good time is when people cancel."
No more nightmares about being hugged by Nebraskans. The Kerrey's sold their Omaha house to a Buffett cousin (and Big Democratic Party Contributor) for a $175,000 profit. Sarah never had to suffer the indignity of actually living in Omaha as the house was being "remodeled" during the campaign and she was able to stay mostly in New York.
The whole thing was doomed for the start. When your party has to beg you to come back to the state you used to represent (or Senatize?), you know how it'll go...
When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other that not only does God exist, you're doing his will.
