She was shocked to learn that Krystle's father (the reason Blake, as Amanda thinks, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;is a spoiled rich guy&lt;/span&gt;), a convicted felon that used his organized crime connections to obtain illegal  liquor licenses to launch the business that created the $100,000,000 estate that Krystle inherited, had been lured out of his first marriage by a devious home-wrecking hussy, still somewhat known to the family...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jTgYo4zAzMs/SLX1U0K5JaI/AAAAAAAAAEM/xjpBr0kvu_g/s1600-h/McAmandaBride.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jTgYo4zAzMs/SLX1U0K5JaI/AAAAAAAAAEM/xjpBr0kvu_g/s320/McAmandaBride.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239363479465960866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as "Grandma" (Krystle's mother).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, of course, helped her understand those rumors that her father Blake had similarly been stolen from his first wife, by a trollop (named...Krystle!) who Blake, after living with her for the better part of a year, married literally one month after his divorce from &lt;a href="http://mccarringtons.blogspot.com/2008/08/catching-up-with-mccarringtons.html"&gt;Alexis&lt;/a&gt; was finalized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amanda also learned that both grandparents had two daughters (each had one from previous marriages), but only Krystle was the daughter of them both - and Krystle now goes around claiming to be an only daughter. Does this make Amanda suspicious that Claudia (the McCarrington's only birth daughter) might similarly heartlessly and cruelly cut Amanda herself, Claudia's own (although not "full") sister(!) out of any inheritance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, Steven feels Blake is acting cold and distant because Blake we&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jTgYo4zAzMs/SLX1NKAZczI/AAAAAAAAAEE/RNiN6brNcw8/s1600-h/McSteven2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jTgYo4zAzMs/SLX1NKAZczI/AAAAAAAAAEE/RNiN6brNcw8/s200/McSteven2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239363347888567090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;nt an entire day without mentioning that he is a former POW.  Steven also wonders why, on their trips together, Blake is refusing to come to the back of the bus and hang out.  It's to the point that Blake won't really even speak to him at all.  At their last interview, Steven even cried out "Do I know you?" when Blake was prickly and cold towards him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little does he know that Dex McDexter (McCarrington's campaign mananger) is forcing Blake to restrict his access because he is terrified of Blake's increasing confusion.  Some senior party officials are saying that Dex even secretly refers to McCarrington as a doddering old dinosaur.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8118647499293558269-4662833858877800264?l=mccarringtons.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mccarringtons.blogspot.com/feeds/4662833858877800264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8118647499293558269&amp;postID=4662833858877800264&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8118647499293558269/posts/default/4662833858877800264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8118647499293558269/posts/default/4662833858877800264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mccarringtons.blogspot.com/2008/08/apples-to-apples.html' title='Apples to Apples'/><author><name>Harry R.

When he was asked this in an interview by &lt;a href="http://mccarringtons.blogspot.com/2008/08/steven-mccarrington-catcher-up.html"&gt;Steven&lt;/a&gt;, he responded "I'll have to have my staff get back to you"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This seriously puts a dent in Dex's narrative of how Blake and Krystle McCarrington are just simple folks who could never resemble their elitist (community organizer) opponent.  But, wouldn't you know that both Blake and Dex used Blake's past POW status as his excuse?!  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Don't forget!  POW is the reason for the political season!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Blake sent two of his (pasty white, paunchy, balding, conservative - how diverse!) colleagues to go represent him at a recently-invaded Russian break-away state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jTgYo4zAzMs/SLOsBhxRlbI/AAAAAAAAADc/EY-_mtgLmxE/s1600-h/KrystleGeorgia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jTgYo4zAzMs/SLOsBhxRlbI/AAAAAAAAADc/EY-_mtgLmxE/s400/KrystleGeorgia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238719933806908850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, to spice things up a bit, Krystle decided to fly her private jet to go there too, to visit their wounded vets and work on the removal of previously unknown landmines!! Was it simply a coincidence that the story broke at the same time that Blake's opponent's wife was addressing their party's National Convention?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily for Blake, after he claimed on national TV during a religious debate that his definition of "rich" was "people with income of more than $5 million", he was talked out of starting a new attack group called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Uppity Negro Men for McCarrington"&lt;/span&gt;, by Dex pointing out that it might be "too presumptuous", and Steven claiming it "shows lack of confidence".  Just kidding... (about that very last part).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8118647499293558269-467684097897187788?l=mccarringtons.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mccarringtons.blogspot.com/feeds/467684097897187788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8118647499293558269&amp;postID=467684097897187788&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8118647499293558269/posts/default/467684097897187788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8118647499293558269/posts/default/467684097897187788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mccarringtons.blogspot.com/2008/08/jet-set.html' title='Jet!
