I'm not one to condone or encourage divorce for any typical couple. But then, is there anything typical of that celebrity couple known as Bill and Hillary Clinton?
The pair met at Yale Law School in 1970 in a civil liberties class. Bill later proposed to Hillary with the words, "I bought that house you like, so you better marry me because I can't live in it by myself" (About.com). The couple tied the knot on October 11, 1975 in that brick house Bill had purchased. The couple's only child and daughter, Chelsea Clinton, was born on February 27, 1980. That makes her 28 years of age as of 2008.
Much has happened since then, as the Clinton's marriage has been tried by fire in the public square, much of that trial due to the womanizing ways of Mr. Bill Clinton, who some diagnose with sexual addiction. And it is for that very same reason that some Americans savor the thought of Hillary divorcing Bill, if for no other reason, that he would bear some consequences, in this lifetime, for his numerous adulteries, despite Hillary's seeming faithfulness to him.
For the entertainment value of that thought, I say if there ever was an opportune time, the perfect time for Hillary to dump Bill, all indicators point to the present moment. Who is to say that through recent years, dating back to Mr. Clinton's eight years on Pennsylvania Avenue, that Mrs. Clinton has not been contemplating, if not outright seeking, an occasion to dump Bill? This is your moment, Hillary. Go for it.
You may ask, but why? Here is the first and most obvious reason why Hillary Clinton should walk away from Bill Clinton now: Hillary Rodham has put up with too many affairs by her floundering husband.
How many incidents of infidelity can the female soul take and stay sane within the bonds of matrimony? Doing nothing drastic about Bill's many cheatings belies Hillary's strong-woman image, especially her image as a feminist icon. What good feminist, liberated woman gets hit affairs after affairs, and just sits there and sucks it up?
