When news broke that Mike Pence, apparently, doesn't like eating meals alone with members of the opposite sex for business or pleasure because it creates an opportunity for unfaithfulness to his wife, I have to say that I was, honestly, pretty damn outraged. What are the Pences worried about?

I mean, c'mon: charismatic, attractive, powerful men cheating on their wives and endangering their marriages? Who could've heard of such a thing!

Frankly, I think it's terribly disrespectful and slightly barbaric. These are modern times and men and women understand that business and pleasure are totally separate things that have no impact on one another.

Besides, the idea of a politician—the most upstanding of all of our citizens, the ones whom we choose to lead us and make our laws for us—straying from his wife is, frankly, unimaginable. These are the ones who provide us our guiding light, our moral compass!

So yes, let's all point and laugh at the politician trying to protect his marriage. He is truly a figure of fun and worthy of mockery.
