Been Called Worse By Better
From Jessica Cutler: “I don't know why Tom Bridge dislikes me so much since I've never met him or made fun of his weight problem/facial hair/earring, but I'm happy that he finally did the right thing and linked to my website. ”
Thanks, Jessica, I'm glad you took a half second to look at my picture before going for the obvious.
But, since you went for the obvious, so will I. I dislike you because not only did you fucked a married man for money, you benefitted from the experience. (please note this sentence has not always been grammatically correct. I may not be able to proofread but at least...) Compounding your existing problems, instead of the social castigation you richly deserved, you got a book deal. I don't blame you entirely for that, but it certainly looks bad that instead of being even remotely apologetic about the whole thing, and accepting your half of the blame, you decided to parlay the whole thing into famousness.
That's why I dislike you, Jessica. Make fun of me for my weight, or my earring, or my funky goatee, but at least I didn't fuck another man's wife in the ass and got famous for it. I'd rather be fat than a complete degenerate.
Edited later:
Jessica has responded to my earlier entry, and asks me why it's any of my business who she screws. Generally, it's not, until you end up on the front page of all of the blogs I read, not to mention on a lot of the media outlets in the greater DC area. Then it becomes public knowledge, stuff that people talk about, and yes, then your private life is dragged into the public sphere. It's not like people had to work hard to find your blog, or that you didn't spill the beans right there in public. Can you really expect to not be judged for such actions? Or, do you think that you didn't do anything wrong besides blog on company time?
Comments:
I'm looking for a word that properly describes someone who puts her sex life on the internet, gets a book deal on her newfound notoriety, and then protests that it's "none of your business" when you dare to have an opinion about it.
My choices are "irony," "hypocrisy," and "pathetic."
