MGB:_No Cardinal should have an airplane. Whatever his eternal fate, Cardinal Law should have died in a Massachusetts jail.¬ His exile shows why the Vatican should be tapped to pay the victims.
I lean toward a medical model in dealing with drunken rapists. Treat their alcoholism first and if the charges are confirmed, confine them for at least the minimum sentence in a facility for the criminally insane, with the option of pleading guilty by reason of insanity. All offensive acts, however, are not rape and non-criminal acts should be dealt with in company due process. Of course, the company should be employee-owned, which would have robbed Harvey of his influence as anything more than a movie nerd.
Bill Clinton did not drukenly importune Monica Lewinsky. She pursued him, just as some in politics and entertainment are pursed because of their position and charisma rather than their inheret goodness as a person. Men like that can be vulnerable to such temptation. It feeds their essential borkenness, making it an unhealthy relationship, but not an abuse of power.
Trump gets an F for not staffing the national security middle leadership ranks, thus ignoring the professional policy makers. Being an idiot and ignoring expertise is unpardonable in a POTUS.
I would blame only Evangelicals but then I read the NCR comment section an remember Cardinal Law and realize the author is probably dead on.
