After the divorce did Michelle stop that republican crap?

I went to Jim and Michelle's wedding. I was the friend of Aunt Linda. Sadly, Aunt Linda had to bring one of her pushier customers who was curious to see what a Jewish wedding to a non-Jewish American would look like. The pushy customer was shocked to hear that there was a dress code. The bride wanted everyone to wear black. That included the bridesmaids as well as the guests. The only one who seemed ecstatic about this choice was the MOB (mother of <the> bride). Mama said that black hid all of the sins.
The pushy client was surprised (he was Iranian). Black? To a wedding? Isn't that the color for funerals here? Yes, it was. But for some reason, in Los Angeles, you are allowed to wear all black or all white without having to have any excuse, rationale, or reason. (Of course, a woman who is still in her birthing years might ask you if she's 'clean' while walking away from you... but that's a story for another time).
I don't quite know when it came up, but we were sitting around the table at Michelle's house in a guard-gated community of Thousand Oaks. It was probably shortly after 09/11 and Michelle knew that I was from New York City. She looked at me and said, "Isn't it amazing the work that President Bush and Mayor Giuliani are doing?" Aunt Linda and I looked at each other. I could see that she was pleading with me not to say anything. I should remind myself, that trips to Michelle and Jim's house had two or three different circles of conversation. The men would be in the living room (talking sports or politics) and the women would be in the kitchen (talking recipes and household cleaners). The boys would usually be up in their room or out by the pool plotting world domination.
"Giuliani," I said, "isn't he a republican?"
"Yes," she replied, beaming, "he certainly is!"
"Oh... okay."

I never said anything more about that topic. Jim (the non-Jewish American) brought republicanism to the house and home. I have no idea what or how it affected Michelle. I think she thought that republican affiliation meant wealth of the personal variety. Democrats were more into pissing away money on charitable things like food programs for the indigent, affordable housing, and clinics for the uninsured.

They are divorced now. Jim lied about their income and blew away money on G*d knows what. Or maybe he cheated on her. Who knows? Michelle wasn't exactly a day at the beach either. Besides, Jim looked prettier than Michelle and that's always good to have around when you've got photo ops going on. They lived in the era when women had big, poofy, blown out hair and Michelle had lots of that to go with her French manicures.

I'll ask her sister, Suzanne, what's up with the party affiliation.
