Mrs Ex-CORZINE, Give Back the $100 Mil----THEN You Can Talk n/t

[UTUSN]

1. How is the campaign coming along?

Heard on cable this morning that the marriage issue may "do him in."

[UTUSN]

2. Dunno, But the Ex's Charges Are All Over But Don't Mention the $100 Mil n/

[Norquist Nemesis]

11. Of course not!

She's probably got another Mil coming after the election paying her for "travel and appearances".

3. It will come down to turn out

I think no one really knows. From calling in an affluent Republican county - People already were concerned that both were corrupt - there's been lots of mud. Corruption was an issue before this blew up. At this point, it's not clear if this will backfire (it is pretty cheap) or work ( the ex-wife's comments hit his integrity).

5. It was a terrible tactic to use against Corzine. I, as

a woman, was offended by it. Maybe some other women will feel the same way. Divorces happen, both parties are upset, but to go over to the dark side to get in a few slaps on an ex-husband is really low.

6. They are saying it will affect voting, but what they are NOT saying

is that it may motivate people who were gonna skip shlepping to the polls to actually get out there and mark their ballot, simply because they are, like you, offended by such a cheap ploy.

9. I agree with you completely asjr

I've never been divorced but I've seen a few up close, and they always turn ugly. It was a cheap shot that I hope backfires.

4. I heard on MSNBC, in the midst of a talk on ethics, that he is likely to

WIN.

Funny as hell--they had John Fund, pro-life impregnator of a teenager that he subsequently encouraged to get an abortion, giving us the ethics view from the right!!!

I laughed my ass off at the blatant absurdity of it all....!!!!

[Gloria]

7. Maybe Corzine should have "clucked" sympathetically about how

the facts say otherwise....I don't think you can let ANY attacks like this go unanswered....no matter WHO is doing them....You can rebut without attacking this......won't use the word.

8. That's a shitty thing to say

I don't know the details of their marriage, like how long they were married, if she worked, stayed home with the kids, etc, but she is entitled to part of the money. If my husband and I divorced I would get 50% of his retirement when he retired. Exes are whore to be bought for their silence.

[UTUSN]

10. They Were Married 30+ Yrs & He Did Wrong, and Yes She's Entitled

But she got the $100 mil, so she's also entitled to the slaps on top of the $100 mil, too? I know mine was a shitty thing to say, does she know HERS was?

[recoveringrepublican]

12. I'm not say she's right with what she said, only that a divorce

settlement doesn't require her to keep her mouth shut. I wasn't trying to be rude but it kind of sounded like something a repuke would say "he "gave" her money, why doesn't she shut up".

[DeepModem Mom]

13. I think you have a point, but I don't understand why...

a wife would allow herself to be involved in the destruction of the career of the father of her children. From what I've read about divorce, it's better for children (even if the children are grown) if exes of both sexes don't trash each other, except in private conversation not shared with the kids.

[recoveringrepublican]

18. I'm not saying she wasn't being petty, bitchy, etc Your right....

speaking as a step-mother trashing the other parent should be a logical no-no. Also, I'm not sure what she was trying to accomplish, exes are easily written off as "petty, jealous, etc". Not saying that's right also.

I just took offense as a stay-at-home mom for 5 years who just returned to work that people act like he was "giving" her money, as if it wasn't HER money also. kwim?

[DeepModem Mom]

20. I agree on that! Especially wives who were there in the lean years...

many of whom worked while a husband got a graduate or professional degree, maybe raised the children virtually alone if a husband had a high-powered career (which Corzine certainly did). Wives earn their share. You're right -- it is her money.

[RB TexLa]

15. People get Ex's retirements?

Is that true?

[recoveringrepublican]

16. My husband works for USPS, ex-spouses, if married for a certain

amount of years are entitled to their pension (well it's not a pension any more, kind of like a 401K now). That's the way it should be. Any spouse who stays home to raise the family doesn't really have a way to put money away.

14. Hell hath no fury...

[seabeyond]

17. heard it local radio and msm. didnt give party of who was using X

all they talked about was the dirty politics of it, but didnt say the dem was being slammed by the repug, leaving it too both parties do it equally

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. She has every right to the settlement she received. That said, it is

very sad for the family on the whole that she is still bitter from the divorce, but infidelity is so difficult for most to forgive. My dad had an "indiscretion" well over 50 years ago, and my mother, now in her 80s still has not been able to trust him, let alone forgive him. They are still married but living apart and separate since they had a physical fight a few months ago that stemmed from that old hurt.
