Cue Tammy Wynette: "Sometimes it's hard to be a woman/Giving all your love to just one man …" Kootenai County Prosecutor Bill Douglas is a lucky guy. He can swap sexually charged online
banter with a flirtatious underling – and his wife of 34 years doesn't throw him under the bus. In the latest 300 e-mails to be released, "Coconut Willy" (Douglas) and "Uzi" (ex-drug youth court director Marina Kalani) at best joked about how good each other looks, about exchanging sex for a new laptop computer, and about running off together. (Tammy again: "But if you love him you'll forgive him/Even though he's hard to understand …") But Geri Douglas shrugged it off in a recent interview, stating: "Everybody kids like that." Oh? I wonder how far my wife of 32 years would kick me down the road if I fielded an online "I love you" from another woman without setting her straight, pronto? Probably back to the Azores Islands in the middle of the Atlantic from whence my grandparents came. I'd deserve the boot in the butt, too. Dunno whether Mrs. D's in denial. Or she's willing to weather the storm "cause after all (Bill's") just a man." But she belongs to the sisterhood of saints or Hillary Clintons who've been forced to stand by their men as they go through their midlife crises. Again Tammy: "Stand by your man/And tell the world you love him/Keep giving all the love you can/Stand by your man."
