As for the small flap here over Mrs. Ensign’s photo. I don’t see the problem. Of course I also didn’t see the original photo which went with Matt’s post. Now there’s simply a link to a blog post with a photo of the happy couple. Either way I don’t see a problem. Posting a photo of a married couple whose husband has cheated says exactly what about the wife? Any reasonable human will think “oh that poor woman,” not “serves the slut right.” I simply don’t see the potential for scarlet letter material here. Perhaps I am obtuse and/or essentially sexist. Please advise.

Odd that the link “Cynthia Hampton Ensign” above leads to a run-down with a pic of Ensign and his wife Darlene. And they’ve made up, so Ensign might have a new govt. gig before you can say “I did not have relations with the meaning of is is.”

That’s a good call. I once disagreed with a scifi novelist for putting her photo on the dust jacket of one of her books, but that was for different reasons than you disagreed with Matt here.

And if Matt does take the picture down, I’m submitting him to O’Reilly’s Pinheads & Patriots segment as a patriot, because then the universe would explode.
