How many AB'ers know about Eisenhower's long affair with Kay Sommersby?

I don't think anyone cares...

I'm guessing 10% knew about the affair between Ike and Sommersby before reading your question and perhaps googling it.

That was in the movie about Eisenhower with Tom Selleck. I think everybody knows about that from history in school---college classes though.

I have know for many, many years. However, it is of no consequence to anyone at this time. But learning US history is good.

Oh, yes every one knows that. As a matter of fact, we were just talking about that the other day.

My mother was in the British Army in WWII and was in fact assigned to the steno pool at SHAEF in London, and remembers hearing all the rumors about it then.

This one does/did.

That happened while Ike was the Supreme Allied Commander during WWII.

I know, as well as the one between FDR and his squeeze.

I also remember the Republicans acting all so outraged over Clinton and Monica...

I've always thought it was sort of interesting...the way Americans react to infidelity on both a private and public level. When it comes to presidents we suffer from some really selective memory loss don't we? As many seem to in their private lives as well.

Occasionally these relationships are almost as celebrated as they are condemned. Lucy Rutherfurd was with Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, the day that he was stricken and she remained there until his death and even rode on the train accompanying his body. How many of us are old enough to remember Marilyn singing Happy Birthday Mr. President? The clip is still played.

But when political hay needs to be made out rolls the trumped up outrage along with the finger pointing and puffy chested "well I never" talk.

It would be funny if it weren't so sad and disingenuous. Especially when the numbers tell us 54% of us tell Gallup that we know someone who has been unfaithful and 2/3 say they would leave a spouse who was unfaithful but...they don't. Married people say they would leave but in fact tend not to over an affair.

Are we confused or what?

Yes, & do you know of her terrible faux pas when Ike introduced her to her King?
