Everyone getting the vapors about Harvey is killing me. Is there one adult over the age of 30 that was not aware he was an out of control lunatic before this week?
I'll be honest: I knew he was an asshole with anger management issues. I hadn't the faintest idea that he was a sex fiend whose warty Jewish hardon had snaked more quality Hollywood pussy than DiCaprio.
On topic: Bob's sidestepping this is
ludicrous. It's actually too stupid to be offensive. This is the biggest A-Bomb Scandal to hit the media industry since OJ did a little knifework in Brentwood. Hell, this could be one of the biggest scandals in American history. This guy has been preying on Hollywood girls for
decades, he's been roughing people up, he's been buying off / intimidating various media outlets that might have exposed it -- some of them he bought outright! -- and (of course this is the part that really has Bob agitated and sweaty under his usual sneering bluster)
this fuckhead was asshole buddies with two Democratic administrations. Malia Obama interned for this swine. (Guess he doesn't like black chicks.) Nobody said boo. Everyone covered it up. Every Democrat who knew about this and went nuts over "Grab em by the pussy" stands revealed as the filthiest of hypocrites. Every Democrat who knew about this and ranted about sexism denying Hillary the White House looks like either a hypocrite or a gargantuan liar.
Let me give you a local perspective. The Manhattan DA, Cyrus Vance (and the Vances are a political legacy family nearly on the level of the Kennedys) is now in hot water that I believe is going to explode in a big, big way. They had Weinstein on tape admitting he groped a girl. Charges were dropped and a little while later Weinstein's lawyer gave $10,000 to Vance's campaign. Now Vance is throwing the NYPD to the wolves by claiming they blew the case, an the NYPD is having none of it. On the NYPD's side is the fact that the reason Vance's office claim they couldn't prosecute was that
they couldn't establish intent. A law student in the middle of his intro Criminal Law class knows that's a crock of the steamiest of steaming horseshit. So on top of the possible complicity of two different Dem Presidents, we also have the possible
bribery of the Dem District Attorney of one of the country's biggest media centers. Oh, you know, those so-enlightened cities whose balls Bob loves to lap.
This scandal could be Armageddon for Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the media in general. At minimum it's going to reshape Hollywood as we know it, tarnish the Clinton legacy further, tarnish the Obama legacy (and despite right wing cranks like me hating Obama, I can admit that up til now it wasn't actually tarnished), and quite likely destroy the Manhattan DA's office.
But sure Bob. Keep talking about CEOs and cops. That's the real story here. You fucking hack.
EDIT: I see a lot of rainbows, and yeah, good chance I'm overstating this. But not when I say the Manhattan DA thing is huge. And I don't think it's going to stop there.
