Dave B,

Personally, I think it only takes someone who has a close friend or family member (perhaps a daughter) as a victim in a sexual harassment suit to truly understand why this activity cannot be condoned regardless of what a good job the guy is doing for the shareholders or how good the chief executive is for the economy.

Lying under oath and the sanctity of the oath in a courtroom to the justice system is the legal aspect of the case that the lawyers will fight over endlessly. But common people like me understand that a boss cannot subject an employee under such a reporting structure to such treatment --- it is an unequal exploitative stance and indefensible no matter who does it.

I still wonder why so many members of the press who will eagerly crucify any Fortune 500 company unfortunate enough to have an executive caught in a similar situation, yet stayed non-committal about this case.

Deep down inside, many of us, regardless of our depth of altruism, are still hypocrites capable of double standards, if the conditions are right.

In all fairness, I think the voracity of how the GOP went after him, immediately caused a knee jerk reaction in many to defend him at all cost, even if they have to swallow their convictions and weep in the still of the night. But when all is over with, who among his defenders will be willing to have him over for a sleepover in the cottage? Who will still think of him fondly as a close personal friend?
