Quote from bigdavediode:
Having an affair is having a "fucked up home life?"
Have you already forgotten that the current Republican nominee for president had an affair?
This took me all of 30 seconds...........Kind of like your conception.

At the beginning of his 957-page book, Mr. Clinton says that he believes the roots of his successes and failures are directly linked to his years growing up in Arkansas. So 60 Minutes asked the former president to take us back to his home state to learn about the problems he had growing up.
On the front porch of boyhood house in Hope, Ark., Mr. Clinton told Rather about his stepfather, Roger Clinton, the second husband that his mother, Virginia Kelley, married. His nickname, says Mr. Clinton, was âDude,â and he was an abusive alcoholic.
âI do not believe that she would have married him if he had ever abused her -- before they got married. Thatâs something that happened afterwards,â says Mr. Clinton. âBut you might say that â maybe mother liked guys that were a bit rakish. She probably thought she could tame them. They liked her.â
But Virginia couldnât tame Roger Clinton or stop him from attacking her with his fists, a pair of scissors, and even shooting his gun at her.
