What an idiot.

(53,410 posts)A yellow page which definitely caught his attention. One of the Senators was talking to him when he looked down at the paper. He started to read what was on it and reached for his reading glasses. Whatever was written on it had his full attention.
When I saw that my first thought was that somebody was telling him he just blew it big time by treating a woman like that. So when he apologized I knew it was because of that note.

(86,634 posts)after crying and bullying again, I don't recall exactly when it was, but that one was on small white paper torn from a spiral-bound notebook and he looked at it, looked around, looked again and then shoved it in his pocket.
Before that, I saw someone hand him a legal pad with something which caught his attention as well. He was getting instruction or news that he blew it or was over acting or something.

(53,410 posts)I have no idea how he treats his wife and daughters, but he showed us he has a bad temper and uses sarcasm so Im pretty sure hes verbally abusive to them. Hes been under crushing pressure for the last couple of weeks and we saw the real him yesterday.
His wife didnt look angry for him. Other women who were there for him did look outraged. His wife looked crushed, flattened, humiliated, broken.
