I have a friend from high school on facebook who turned into a hard right, evangelical Christian, tea partier. She’s also a public elementary school teacher.

One of the guys who lives in the home comes home from his special needs public school every day with a page about how he behaved in school, what he did, etc. And pretty much every day, the…
I lived in Saudi Arabia for a while and resented the oppressive environment big time. However, it’s not correct to say that only women are required to cover up.

So I had never heard this thing about the niece, so I Googled it. Uh. That dude said his niece was coming on to him so he felt her up? WTF??
Isn’t this the guy that molested his transgender niece? The guy that “nice guy” George Clooney punched out on the set of “Three Kings”? The guy that Lily Tomlin lost her shit at? WHY do people continue to make movies with him, and why do people continue to throw money at him to fund said movies?
