(3,741 posts)as the Attorney for the President of the US.and as a traitor on the behalf of the Russians. Come on, Very different ... if a Rock Star was caught in some kind of sex scandal, also different. No doubt we don't want a teacher caught in this kind of thing either, they should be fired immediately. But sex is sex ... private unless we as tax paying citizens pay their salaries or they are representatives of such elected persons. Toobin is a writer, journalist, author, legal authority, private citizen as far as I can tell .... he is basically self employed, none of our GD business. I don't like being placed in the position defending salacious, or dumb behavior of any kind .... just don't like piling on someone for making a stupid mistake .... I see this as exposing more than just a masturbating man .... this kind of thing is happening all the GD time and if folks want to claim naught, well then, so be it. Let his bosses, co-workers, lawyers sort it out. Puritanical American sexual hang ups ... doubt the Europeans would blink on eye over this, maybe titter a little. That's it. He may be a louse but I still fell sorry for him. Most of the time I despise male sexual shit but not this time, sorry.
