Hey, that&#8217;s called taking care of your family, and I thought family values were important.

His soon-to-be former wife is apparently alleging that old Lar&#8217; had an affair &#8211; with her <strong><em>sister<\/em><\/strong> (though the sister is denying it; god knows <strong><em>I&#8217;d<\/em><\/strong> certainly deny having sex with him).  I&#8217;ve never been a big King fan, but you have to give him credit.  For somebody that looks like a dried up old frog, he certainly seems to do pretty well with the ladies.  Go figure.  <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I really wonder about you women.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"400\" height=\"320\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Y5BaurXMmMU&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Y5BaurXMmMU&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, this is it.
