I don’t always agree with everything TC has to say, but so far, he’s the closest to the truth on this matter (at this point, anyway).
I’ll give you Canucks credit. When you have a sex scandal, at least the woman involved is a major babe (unlike our 20 something chubby interns...)
Many might even admit, “I'd have fallen for him/her, too.”
Some may even confess, “I HAVE fallen for one that was like him/her.”
The fault would be blatant if the embarrassed made continual mistakes in choosing the wrong lover(s).
What I'm saying is that I don't think Maxime Bernier is Charlie Sheen.
Yes, the public sees right through Julie Couillard (and also those other profiteers like Scott McClellan). If the details were really real, then the witnesses would seek the honor of telling truth without pay.
The best peace offer the befuddled awkward can give is, “I'm sorry it didn't work out.” while the rest of the public can guffaw to the absurd one, “Enjoy your 15 minutes.”
