The vocabulary of bad behavior: Adultery, harassment, assault, and rape.

Herman Cain is imploding. If anyone’s still pretending this is a surprise, can we stop that right now? I would also be grateful if we could finally stop acting as if he was ever a serious contender for the GOP nomination. He wasn’t, and not just because he’s black. Cain was never a serious contender because he’s wildly ignorant, and borderline crazy. The GOP has a history of allowing these people (Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, Paul, Cain, etc) to toddle out onto the stage and push the boundaries of civil conversation a little farther out, squeezing out every last drop of anti-social outrage they can, and then tossing them onto history’s famous scrapheap, in favor of the one fella who has money and isn’t certifiable. In 2008, it was John McCain. In 2012, it’ll be Mitt Romney. Have we cleared that up? (No, it won’t be Gingrich. Stop that! He’s made too many Republicans mad. Much as they hate Romney, they hate Gingrich more). (No! Not Huntsman either! He’s too reasonable, and too poor. Maybe 2016, when they’re done purging the party of the crazy following what they already know will be Obama’s re-election). (Yes. That’s what’s going to happen. Can we get to the point now? Thank you).

Herman Cain’s silly White House run having served more as useful foolishness than reality, I don’t have any interest in discussing it as a political exercise. I do, however, have a very real interest in using it to continue the conversation I started at my place earlier this month about the ways in which harassment and assault shape women’s days, and to move into the vocabulary we use in conversations about sexual violence, whether they are about Herman Cain, or Jerry Sandusky, or Dominique Strauss-Kahn, or the asshole down the street.

Cain stands accused of three things:

Tiki Barber is Trying to Repair His Public Image… Pffffft!

Next stop?  Asshat Rehab.

Tiki Barber is a big fat hypocrite, and a gaseous asshat.  Back In April, he left his wife for a 23 year old NBC intern and earned his first scarlet A.1 He earned another scarlet A for leaving his wife when she was 8 months pregnant with twins.  Then he earned his scarlet H2 after it turned out that he held a grudge against his father because his father left his family:

“I don’t give a [bleep] that the relationship didn’t work,” he said of his parents’ split in a 2004 Post interview. “Not only did he abandon her, I felt like he abandoned us for a lot of our lives. I have a hard time forgiving that.”

Way to go, jackass.

His (ex)-wife Ginny filed for divorce in April and banned him from the delivery room when she gave birth to their twins in May.  Then in June, after Tiki lost his $300,000 contract with NBC pursuant to a morality clause which provides that stars cannot be involved in public scandals, he complained to the press that he’s broke and unable to pay his ex-wife the settlement she needs to take care of their kids.  So, he’s broke, he can’t afford to pay his divorce settlement, and now, he’s hiring a PR firm? Really?

Duh and/or hello?

What is with these celebrities who act all shocked when the shit goes down?  If you’re going to do some shady shit, you can expect that it’s going to come back and bite you in the ass.  And if you do shady shit and you get caught, then FIX IT!  Don’t run to the press.  Don’t whine about how you’re poor.  Don’t hide away with your 23 year old girlfriend who is probably expecting you to be able to shower her with diamonds and pearls.  Go fix your family, take care of your kids, and get your shit straight.  If you do that, then you won’t need to hire a PR firm to repair your image.

Dang, even Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband Jesse James had the sense to pretend to be sorry by going to Asshat Rehab.   Hell, even Jon Gosselin became Jewish for a hot minute.

Quit complaining, and FIX IT!

Why does no one listen to me?  I’ve got answers, people:

It’s not rocket science, it’s a simple three-step process: Step 1 – FIX; Step 2- IT; Step 3- FIX IT!!!

Tiger Woods Banned From Dating

Yeah, because that’ll work.

Tiger’s wife is leaving him, y’all.  She may get up to 750 million dollars in the divorce.  Crikey!  And you can bet your ass her lawyers are watching Tiger like a hawk. Heh.

From US Weekly,

Despite Tiger Woods’ imminent divorce from wife of five years Elin, 30, an insider tells Us Weekly his legal team told him he can’t date until the split is finalized.

“Elin’s building a character case [based on his serial philandering],” the insider says. “Elin’s team is watching [Tiger's] every move.”

Her goal? “She wants more money than Michael Jordan’s ex got,” another source says, referring to the former NBA star’s $168 million payout to his ex-wife.

As for custody of the kids Sam, 2, and Charlie, 15 months, “They’ll share it,” says the insider.

“But she wants permission to take them to Sweden whenever she wants.”

I want to be able to go to Sweden whenever I want.  Sweden is cool.  With the lingonberries and the pirates and the other stuff.

I also want 750 million dollars.  So, if anyone has that.  Or even, like, 1 million dollars, give me a call.

Five dollars?  I’ll take 5 dollars.

Fine, just give me a quarter and we’ll call it even.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon Lays the Smackdown on Her Cheating Husband

And yet another cheater joins the Asshat Brigade 

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon isn’t take her cheating ass husband’s shenannies lying down… so to speak.  She called his ass out and went straight to the New York Post.

You know how in any small town there’s always some lady, let’s call her Mrs. Busybody, who sits on her front porch in her rocking chair, petting a mangy ass cat, and just observing the goings on in town: “Oh looky here, Mrs. Smith got a new dress.  She looks like a bit of a tart if you ask me.  But it’s none of my business.  If she wants to step out looking like a common streetwalker, who am I to say anything about it?”

“Oooh, what have we here?  Is that Mr. Jones leaving Mrs. Smith’s house at 2 in the afternoon?  I do believe Mrs. Jones is at her book club meeting and Mr. Jones should be at work.  I wonder what they were doing.  Oh it’s none of my business.  They were probably having relations.  You know how the kids like to do these days.  Well, I’m not going to pay it no never mind.  Like I said, it’s not my business.”

But we all know that her inner monologue is a damn liar because at the end of the day, Mrs. Busybody picks up her rotary phone and starts making calls.  She can’t for the life of her remember where she put her bifocals, but dadgummit, Mrs. Busybody remembers every damn thing that every damn person in town did that day whilst she was innocently sitting on her porch pretending to be too old and deaf to know what the hell is going on around her.  So Mrs. Busybody is calling fools.  And those fools are calling fools.  And pretty soon, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Smith are walking around town with scarlet letters affixed to their jackets.

What’s my point?  My point is that the New York Post is the Mrs. Busybody of newspapers.  If the New York Post gets a tip, you can bet your boob job that shit is going to spread like wildfire.  Hell, most of the time the “tips” come from publicists.  In fact, it’s barely appropriate to call the New York Post a newspaper, but hey, who am I?  Just some crazy black lady typing straight awesome on her super sweet computer.

But back to Garcelle:

In an e-mail written to the NYPost titled “Tiger Woods/Jesse James/Mike Nilon,” actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon exposed her agent husband Mike as a cheater.


“What do they have in common… I found out today that MY husband of almost 9 years has been having an affair for 5 years with some slut in Chicago,” the letter, which appeared in Page Six, reads. “I am devastated!!!! And I have been duped!! Our boys don’t deserve this!” She continued, referring to the couple’s two-year-old twin boys, Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas.

What the what?  How you gonna get married and then cheat on your wife for FIVE YEARS???

Tiki Barber Dumps Pregnant Wife for NBC Intern

Ex-Giant is Giant Douche

Damn, Tiki!  Really?  You’re just gonna up and leave your pregnant wife for some 23 year old blonde chick?  Dang.

I really used to like Tiki Barber.  He seemed like a stand up guy.  Married eleven years, involved in charitable crap, and super hot.  That’s really the important thing here.  Like, SUPER HOT.

But this week, Tiki up and left his wife.  Who was pregnant.  Eight months pregnant.  WITH TWINS.  He left his pregnant ass wife of eleven years and their two children, ages 6 and 7.  For a 23 year old.  That’s Klassy with a capital K:

Barber, who is believed to have to have relocated to an Upper West Side bachelor paid, released a statement yesterday in response to a Page Six item announcing the split.

“After 11 years of marriage, Ginny and I have decided to separate,” Barber said. “This decision was a painful one, but we are moving forward amicably and will continue to work together to raise our children with the love and dedication they have always known.”

What the what?!  Really?  You’re gonna leave your wife when she’s eight months pregnant for an NBC intern?


You chose this...


Over this and your 4 friggin' kids?


Look, I don’t know the story.  Heck, maybe his wife was crazy.  Maybe they’d been having problems for a while.  But all I’m sayin’ is, stick around for a month so you can be there when your damn twins are born.  I mean, COME ON.

And whatever the hell was going on in their marriage, turns out Tiki is a big ol’ hypocrite.  When his cheater cheater pumpkin eater father left his family, this is what Tiki had to say in 2004:

“I don’t give a [bleep] that the relationship didn’t work,” he said of his parents’ split in a 2004 Post interview. “Not only did he abandon her, I felt like he abandoned us for a lot of our lives. I have a hard time forgiving that.”

And in his 2007 memoir, he had this to say:

“I want to be an honorable man, because that’s what I want them both to be.  My family is everything to me.”

Apparently, getting some ass from some young chippy is more important to you than family.  Like father like son.

Good job, Tiki.  You just joined the Celebrity Asshat Brigade.

Tiger Woods May or May Not Have Nailed His Neighbor’s 22 Year-Old Daughter

Emphasis on “you know he did that shit.”

Well, well, well.  What have we here?  Just as Tiger is about to attempt to conquer the Masters, his first tournament in five months, MOAR WHOARS are crawling out of the woodwork:

A shocking new report says that Tiger slept with Raychel Coudriet, who lives in his Isleworth neighborhood outside Orlando.


Coudriet is now 22 and recently confronted Tiger when all his mistresses were revealed because she was furious that she was just another conquest, according to the new issue of the National Enquirer.


The Enquirer says that Tiger and Raychel began making out within sight of his house while Elin was home. They then had sex in a private office Tiger keeps nearby.


And, staying true to his pattern with other women, Tiger texted Raychel repeatedly after their tryst. But, according to the report, she felt guilty about having sex with a married man and never got back together with him.

A shocking new report?  This report is about as shocking as a report that some fuckwit blew his brains out playing Russian roulette.  I mean, seriously.

You know what’s shocking?  The fact that someone has clearly broken into my kitchen and drank all my wine.


Yeah, fine, it’s not that shocking.

Sometimes I sleepdrink.

Sandra Bullock's Husband Also Cheated on Her with a Stripper

Of course he did. Weird and foreshadowy photo

Not only was Jesse James banging some Nazi fetishist (Michelle McGee), but he was also having unprotected kinky sex with a stripper. The “kinky” part is fine. It’s the “unprotected” part that catapults him from adulterer to unbelievable asshole.

Melissa Smith is the latest to come forward and claim that she had a two-year affair with Jesse James for two years, beginning a mere one year after James and Sandra were married.

Come on, dude. Seriously? You’re married to Sandra Bullock (or to anyone, for that matter) and you’re going to have UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A FRIGGIN’ STRIPPER?!?!  Could you be more disgusting?

Star Magazine reports:

Like Michelle, Melissa first made contact with Jesse online. But he reached out to her via MySpace in September 2006 (a year after he married Sandra) when he saw a photo of her on the Web site posing in front of a car at a West Coast Choppers party in Long Beach, Calif.

“I got a message from this guy saying,’Nice car…that’s my godfather’s.’ After a few exchanges, he introduced himself as Jesse James and gave me his e-mail address with the name Vanilla Gorilla” — the nickname Jesse goes by and Michelle referred to as well.

Soon after Melissa traveled to California, where Jesse promised he’d take her for a ride in one of his cars, but they never made it out of his office!

After making small talk about the artwork on his walls and taking photos together, “I said, ‘Well, I guess I should get going,’ and he said, ‘You don’t have to,’ and moved his chair closer to me and started rubbing my leg. We ended up having sex on his couch,” Melissa details.

Ew.  Just.  Ew.

Now, according to People, James is trying to patch things up with Sandra.  ::spit take::  Seriously?  Good luck, dude.

As Jesse James struggles to cope with a family crisis he admits to creating, his top priority, a friend tells PEOPLE, is maintaining some normalcy in the lives of his three children.

“He would certainly love for this somehow to go away and that somehow things can be rectified and put back together,” the friend says. “The one thing that’s most important to him in the whole wide world is that his family comes back together. He will do whatever that takes.

What a noble guy he is to admit that he fucked up his family life buy screwing strippers and Hitler.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Cheating on Sandra Bullock with a… White Supremacist?!?!

Reductio ad Hitlerum.  For reals.

So things sort of suck for Sandra Bullock now.  After winning an Oscar for The Blind Side, and having shown that yes, she can handle the bus ma’am, turns out that her husband of five years was cheating on her for 11 months.  ELEVEN MONTHS.

Of course he’s released some bullshit press release about how sorry he is that he brought this upon his family.

Yeah, right, buddy.  You’re just sorry you got caught. 

Anyway, things just got worse for Sandra.  Turns out Jesse Jame’s fuck buddy, Michelle McGee is a little bit white supremacist-y around the eyes:

From TMZ:

TMZ has obtained the shocking photos of Michelle McGee, which were taken almost a year ago. We’re told the Nazi-themed layout — complete with a swastika armband and backdrop — was the photographer’s idea, but that Michelle was very enthusiastic.

In child custody documents filed in January, Michelle’s ex-husband says she “makes the Nazi salute,” and has a swastika tattooed on her stomach (not seen in these pics).

In one photo the letter “w” is on Michelle’s left leg, and the letter “p” on her right. We’re told Michelle tells people it stands for “white power.”

Res ipsa loquitur.

[Look at TMZ! All hip to the legal lingo!]

So let me get this straight.  Sandra Bullock’s (soon to be ex-) husband chose this:
