You think an abused woman doesn't feel sorry for herself? You say she should leave like walking out the door is as simple as breathing. She likely has no job, no money of her own, and lives with the fear that if she leaves her husband will find and kill her. I think saying that she looks like a fool is not really thinking that deeply about the situation. I suspect it is easy for you to take this stance because the woman we are talking about will never be real for you. It's easy not to care in that case.
Afraid to leave because your husband is an ass, a model of weakness foolishness, just like he said. It's not as hard as you think, get up and leave, call the damn police first if you think there's going to be a problem with the ass. Move out, take out a loan, get a temporary job at McDonalds (they're hiring you know), go on welfare or move in with your parents, build from those meager begginings and live happily. There's nothing physically holding you there, unless you count your husband, and in that case, the police will gladly hold him, in prison. You just have to be competent enough to tell on him.

A lovely subject, but off topic. Unless of course you count the context of his anology and your statement as a logical synergy of sorts. Bill hunting down and killing Hillary doesn't do much for crushing dissent.
