.....but Frank, I do indeed think you are being a little too chivalrous.
Sorry, madam, but I can't help being me.
Recall, please, that Doug's ex-wife is generally considered a vile person, a jerk, a rectal aperture, and really stupid besides.
But even during the height of the Scamdal four years ago, I persisted in thinking of her as the wronged woman in the sense that she was being used by some other human agency for its own purposes. Her being a woman, I just couldn't force myself to think her authentically malicious.
By the time I faced reality, though, she had changed again, to an object of scorn-filled pity, what with the obvious deterioration and erosion of her cerebral capacities due to overuse of mind-altering pharmaceutical drugs.
So that's a whole new ball of wax.
Credit it to my Pollyanna attitude; after all, it took me much longer to understand Pedro Picasso is a loser, than it did others, and that's really saying something.
