I had listened to roughly eight hours of commentary on Donald Sterling and the ugly remarks he made in conversations secretly tape-recorded by his girlfriend, before I heard anyone mention a wife.
HE HAS A WIFE?
At first, I thought the topic must have changed when I left the room, but no -- the TV talking heads were still discussing Sterling advising his girlfriend to stay away from blacks.
Not only does Sterling have a wife of 50 years, but earlier this year, she sued his girlfriend, demanding the return of two Bentleys, a Ferrari, a Range Rover and a $1.8 million apartment, claiming it was bought with community property without the wife's consent.

Wow. Cultural mores certainly do change. In 1947, it was a scandal when Brooklyn Dodgers manager Leo Durocher was alleged to have been having an affair with a married actress, Laraine Day.

A good old cat fight.
Thick as thieves. Those two remind me of The Clintons. ‘Married’, yes, but on their own terms. Maybe his wife was expected to ‘handle’ the high maintenance Bimbo Eruptions.
Recall that author Tolstoy said ‘each family is unhappy in their own way’ how very true.
This low life gentleman is an Obamabot, Democrat supporter!!! What else....scum begets scum!!!
Supposedly, no. I’ve read that he donated to a few Dems up to 20 years ago, but he is presently registered as a Republican.

I had never realized that Ann Coulter is a man.
That, or bad headlines have struck again.
No duh. That’s the whole point of her column.
It’s the Adam’s Apple... gives it away every time.
So does the crotch scratch.
Donald Sterling a guy who gives to some Democratic candidates, but is a registered Republican. I just wish conservatives wouldn't use him as a guy who needs to be put on a pedestal. I just am not sympathetic to him at all.
yech to all of them and all of their mess
I'm not either, but the mob rule which has judged him guilty of thoughtcrime and speechcrime is not a good thing.
