Spicy picks up a new bigotry each year as part of his character.

Yes, my views on Catholicism are a brand new thing this year :rolleyes:

In all seriousness, the most superstitious people I know tend to be Catholic women.

My wife used to watch his show like crazy & believed it.  My sister in law & her sister & mom actually went to one of his shows in Indianapolis.  What do those 4 women have in common? 

You mean besides being all of them being related, all of them being women, and (presumably) all of them being Argentinian?

Just one of the four I mentioned above are Argies.  My brother's wife & her family are native Cincinnatians of German descent.

Beyond those 4, I can think of about 10-15 other Catholic women who seemed to be particularly superstitious.  This includes an ex-girlfriend & her family, past co-workers, and yes, some of my Argie in-laws.

Yeah, my mother in law and her sisters are really superstitious (Mexican Catholics). 

Edit:  So are my wife's sisters, but they're not as bad.  I'm really glad the wife isn't like that.  OMG SOMEONE DIED COVER UP THE MIRRORS AND STAY AWAY FROM THE TV FOR A WEEK OMG

Especially after Clinton showed him how to have affairs and not have children out of them.

Indeed.  How could he run?  How could his wife tour the country campaigning for him knowing the truth?  I find the whole thing extraordinary.

Well that possibility is that such extra-marital affairs are far more common than we know of, and people beiong caught (like Edwards, CLinton, or Tiger) are the rare exception. :tinfoil:

I think such affairs may be common among very rich, famous, and/or powerful men. I doubt very much that your average Joe has 12 secret lovers hiding in the weeds a la Tiger.  ;)

What surprises me is the sheer hubris of a man running for, or in, such a public office doing that sort of thing. They must know that they are going to be subject to the most intense scrutiny.

I'd cheat if I was married to that cunt he has for a wife.

I'd care less if she had cancer.

It doesn't change the fact that Catholic people are more superstitious and less intelligent that Protestants, atheists or Japanese.  Italy, Portugal and Spain are still far behind the civilized world.
