President with girlfriend -what did Bill Clinton think of it?
Didn't care for his interrupting Lucy's fun to make her read and discuss a textbook on politics/civics. All kids really need to know about politics is that politicians can't be trusted.

Do you think a girlfriend and a mistress are the same thing?

For the bible-thumping conservative Christian crowd, a girlfriend and a mistress ARE effectively the same thing.

Andrew wasn't married...the biggest difference.

Speak for yourself; I'm Christian and I don't equate the two. While I do think Shepherd was wrong to pursue Sydney sexually outside of marriage, especially in close proximity to his daughter...its not the same as a mistress. That implies he's cheating on his wife, but she'd died 3 years before.
