Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

"It's just a blowjob."

 

Sometimes movies and books and TV shows are made just for entertainment, but in this case there is news value in that it will shed more light on the abhorrent behavior of our commander in chief.

 

Two consenting adults. What's wrong with that?

 

Still newsworthy.

 

That's not what I heard.

 

I don't know! But I do wonder why he paid her $130,000 to be quiet about it?

You think maybe he had shit stains on his tighty whities and he was embarrassed that might come out?

 

If it had been Bill Clinton, it would have been newsworthy decades later.

 

What? Argle-bargle?

 

So, if Cory Booker has sex with someone, will the Huffington Post give that person a platform to tell us all about the encounter? Is the answer the same whether the partner is a man or a woman?

How about if Kristen Gillibrand has an affair? Are we going to give her partner a platform to tell us all the details?

 

Did they pay out $130,000 settlements?

 

I'm not in charge of the platforms, nor am I an expert on what people want to read, but I assume if either of those people were found to have paid hush money to keep it quiet, people would be interested. Didn't Trump's romp with Stormy occur while Melania was pregnant?

 

Were they victims of extortion, you mean?

Sounds like the case of the Congressman and the woman who threatened him with revenge porn.

Why are we enabling the willing partners in a sexual relationship to profit off of it, at their more famous partner’s expense?
