Lisa...Rielle...honey:
Enough with the coke and f*cking around and acting classes and gurus. Please try to contribute something to this world before you kick off. And no, having a politician's baby, or the politician's aide's baby, doesn't count.
Why do people like this exist? I think we can safely lump Monica Lewinsky into this category--although it seems she's moved on from wallowing in self-imposed victimhood celebrity. Where do they come from? Don't they feel guilty about all the problems and damage they inflict from their selfish, destructive behavior? Why do we give them time on TV or space in newspaper print?
I really, really wish that this country gets over its repressed fascination with sex and especially celebrity sex. Sex is a natural impulse and with precautions taken it's safe, healthy, normal and a private matter. But we go nuts when a politician's caught with dropped trou. Does playing this "gotcha" game make for better policy, elect better leaders or improve the effectiveness of our governments? Guess not.
Maybe we should all stop worrying about who's sleeping with who and Girls Gone Wild and focus on keeping our country from roaring over the goddamned cliff...
