    Not that it minimizes it in any way, but I read one story that said no intercourse took place that it was "groping and touching"

    Still disgusting, still wrong...

    It's still unclear to me how this came out. Did someone get the police files. Did he just decide to admit doing this, like the creep from the Jessica Biel TV show?

    Unless you're either on the clock or being compensated for it.

    In Touch got the police file. It definitely didn't start with him admitting it.

    Things I learned from the police report:

    -- the Duggar kids don't like math.
    -- they sleep on the couch more than I do.
    -- to at least one Duggar, the genitals are the "pee pee holder."

    It looks like the investigators did a fairly solid job in the interview processes, even when they knew there was no charge that would stick because of the statute of limitations. It looks like they were trying to find something.

    Except for the state trooper who gave Josh a stern talk, but didn't pursue it any further. And was then arrested and sentenced to more than 50 years for having child porn.

    Interesting that Huckabee w/d from Iowa Straw Poll only hours before the Duggar story broke. Wondering if he had a tipoff from the family.
    And I'd like to know what his stance would be on, say, a 15-year-old black kid who molested five white girls. I'm betting it wouldn't be quite so charitable to the perpetrator.
    How is anybody going to take this guy seriously after this?

    The Duggars, it would appear, have an interesting concept of "Family Research." And I'm continually struck by the name of the publication that broke this story.

    The demonization and criminalization of young teens exploring their sexuality is a relatively new development. I have no interest or information on what the Duggars are or do but it seems what used to be called "playing doctor" is now regarded as the ultimate sin. But I am over sixty, times change I guess.

    Not sure where you've lived your sixty-plus years, but where I'm from shoving your fingers into five underage little girls has always been regarded as a criminal offense.

    Huckabee has a number of black marks on his record long before Dugger, namely Wayne Dumond and the Seattle cop-killer he set loose.

    Sex is the worst possible thing that can happen if you are under 18. Stone them all and cut off their heads. Allah be praised

    To be clear I have no interest or information on the Duggars and I abhor child abuse. My interest is in justice and truth.
