Aren't the people who say they are appalled, disgusted, outraged (and all the other fashionable adjectives) over the recent wave of sexual misconduct accusations, just like the Vichy cop in Casablanca?

1 Answer

Answer :

Good question. I was thinking about this as I read some of the things Matt Lauer was accused of and to which he pretty much admitted to. I thought of his co-workers sad and crying on air, saying they had been family for over 20 years and had no idea. I call bullshit. I’ve worked at my other job for 30 years and knew those people inside out. I knew their flaws, which buttons to push, and that one of the managers was a perv that chased young interns that worked for us. If his coworkers didn’t know, they weren’t close or weren’t paying attention to what was going on around them.
