I come across a lot of loony things on the Internet, but this tidbit has to be the absurdity of the week: Televangelist Pat Robertson excusing David Petraeus for having an affair with Paula Broadwell. "The man’s off in a foreign land and he’s lonely and here’s a good-looking lady throwing herself at him. He’s a man." He's a man? HE'S A MAN?!? Really, we're blaming this on Paula for being the kind of "good-looking lady" David, as a MAN, just couldn't help being seduced by? This just makes me positively gargle with rage, this notion that men are helpless before the wiles of women. Like men's sexual drives are SO powerful, so invincible, that even they, big strong men that they are, cannot control the mighty Anaconda that is their dong. Give me a fucking break.![]()
