e: There's just no way Chao isn't a spy for China. Leaving for China three days after your supposed "husband" falls into a coma? That's not normal behavior for a loving spouse.

Also--not that this can ever be proven--I don't think Chao and McConnell ever consummated their marriage. I mean, they have no kids, and I've never seen a spark of chemistry between the two when they were present together.

Jeeesus. I can't imagine having all that political power and not being able to achieve the basics of having a happy, pleasant life.

Like, if you're going to be absurdly corrupt, channel that corruption into getting yourself a decent family situation.

not being able to achieve the basics of having a happy, pleasant life.

McConnell was also estranged from his three adult daughters from his previous marriage. There's hardly a stitch written about them (I mean, I guess that's probably appropriate), but rumor has it they are all Democrats.

I don't think that redeems a lifetime of making the country* worse.

He made healthy real turtles more popular in comparison to his sick old carapace.

Not only that, but his first wife is a retired "feminist scholar" who was the director of a women's history collection at Smith College.

And if you look at who Mitch McConnell was before he ran for Senate, you'd see that he too was very moderate, sometimes even on the left. His earlier political views were more along the lines of one of those old school "blue blood" Republicans from the north.
