Mary Bono This Congresswoman's known to most as the gal who married the guy who used to be married to Cher. Nothing wrong with that. A licensed personal trainer, Mary was 22 when she met Sonny Bono, 49. She became his fourth wife right after college. Then Sonny got elected to Congress in 1994. But in 1998, poor Sonny skidded into a tree and died. Then Mary, the grieving widow, ran in a special election and won. But Sonny's family didn't support her taking his seat -- and they doubted her grief. His mother accused her of cheating on him. Also, a friend of his said Sonny believed she was carrying on with her karate teacher. A few months later, Mary told TV Guide that Sonny had been taking large amounts of Vicodin, and that the painkiller may have caused his accident. The only Republican woman on the House Judiciary Committee when it voted for Bill Clinton's impeachment, she asked Clinton attorney Gregory Craig if he had small children. How do you explain to them, she asked, that your President has lied and it's OK? I don't know, Mary. What does your nanny tell them? She left her two kids with a nanny back in Palm Springs so she can play Congresswoman. |
