I'm guessing that Maria will be warmer and more loving than Jenny is. I'm willing to bet that this woman is going to clothe herself as a martyr and whine continuously. She needs to take a clue from Hillary Clinton. Now there is a woman who kept a stiff upper lip during Bill's naughty experience. Jenny should now just tell reporters that she is working on her personal life and that she would have no further comment. In other words, shut up before you lose sympathy.
