I'm a little disappointed OPB and other news networks are spending so much time covering this issue. I don't care who he had sex with, beyond the interest in 'gossip' that I think everyone has. It isn't newsworthy beyond the initial announcement and apology. It's not important! Is the next Talk Out Loud going to be about Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston's 'feud' over Brad Pitt? Give me a break!
People are being bombed with phosphorous in Palestine, hate crimes are perpetrated daily in this country, gay marriage is illegal and people are trying to make abortion illegal too. There are SO MANY more important things to talk about.
Of course he lied about this relationship. You would have too. Maybe you wouldn't have pursued this relationship, but that doesn't give you the right to judge him. Let's move on and get back to the real issues in this city.
