Slight thread drift, but it's drifting anyway:

I'd have thought that the decision of Hillary Clinton not to get divorced because of Bill's bad behaviour, and to stick with the marriage vows ("for better or worse, till death us do part") would give her brownie points among upholders of traditional morality.

Somehow it doesn't seem to work that way - there seems to be a tendency to pick and choose which bits of traditional morality to uphold.
