Divorce is not a big deal here in the Bible Belt.

Let's not turn it into a religious thread, was just making a general statement since he is probably our most visible public figure

Even if there is no article, the legal postings (court filings) are always posted in the paper. Same with birth announcements and death certificates.

This should be a private matter. I know his lawyer as an aside, he's a good guy.

If he were an average joe, blue collar or white collar, in any occupation that's outside the spotlight, it largely would be a private matter. Society on the whole takes a strong interest in the lives of those who live their life in the spotlight. Too strong in my opinion, but it's been that way as far back as I can remember, and then some.

He's never been someone to make his family life into a public issue though. I disagree that public figures' entire private lives ought to disappear. Same goes for the Hon. Mayor as it does for Lindsay Lohan.

While the divorce is public, I don't think it's a good idea to use the forum to speculate on private matters.
