If Mike Rann is lying and he did screw some annoying, attention seeking barmaid tramp, who really cares? If we demand such high standards of our elected officials private lives, why stop there? Should a teacher be sacked for cheating on his/her wife? Should the chairman of 7 (who aired the Rann story) be sacked because of his drunk driving conviction?
Anyway, I think most Australians are pretty decent and when some holier than thou types try and tar politicians over trivial incidents it is usually the journos who come off looking a bit silly when Australians doesnt fall for the smear.
Anyway two annoying thing about the Rann story. First the claim that if they did have sex, Rann as the male is for some reason the one taking advantage of the woman.
"It is my opinion that Mr Rann took advantage of my wife's youthful
naivety during a very difficult time in our lives and our marriage," he
said.
Youthful naivety? She would have been around 35 at the time of the alleged affair. Should a man wait until women hit 60 before making a move? And if you are angry about your wife cheating on you, well she is the one who is kind of responsible. If I went around cheating I doubt I could get away with blaming the other woman "sorry baby, I'm youthful and naive, those women tricked me".
And this story really takes the cake. Mike Rann has been accused of........ get this...... it's terrible.....
Flirting!
SOUTH Australian Premier Mike Rann flirted openly with his friend Michelle
Chantelois in the presence of her sister as he gave the two women a personal
guided tour of Parliament House in 2001.
Fuck me dead. Since when was that illegal, or even immoral?
