Not good news for Weinstein. On the other hand, on his worst day, he's still a millionaire.

...married to his work...

He should have remembered he was married to his wife. Wouldn't that be something if Disney cut them loose next year. Hey, Harvey, instant karma's gonna getcha.

His marriage to his work sounds in worse condition than his marriage to his wife.

I think it is a sad state of affairs for conservatives that we now ridicule of our opponents, not for their liberal views, but for their personal failings like eating and marriage. Since when did it become grassroots conservatism to root for liberal's marriages to break up?

One would think with all the rantings about Moore's weight and personal life rather than then facts, that conservatives did not actually have any counter points, just crass, juvenille name calling, to show Moore is wrong.

Any divorce involving 3 kids is a sad thing. I hope the best for them.

Yep I agree, there are plenty of things to talk about. Because they stoop to those lows, should mean won't. We should keep their attention there, while we destroy the other arguements they spout out.

One is media blackouts, like the non-story about the Polish Army finding Sarin gas shells in Iraq, and the media's absolute SILENCE on the issue.

Wonderful. "Deal With It" Is that artful debate or what?

"What goes around, comes around. Deal with it."

True.

http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2000/05/10.html

schadenfreude \SHAHD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
A malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.

The historian Peter Gay -- who felt Schadenfreude as a Jewish child in Nazi-era Berlin, watching the Germans lose coveted gold medals in the 1936 Olympics -- has said that it "can be one of the great joys of life."
--Edward Rothstein, "Missing the Fun of a Minor Sin." New York Times, February 5, 2000

Often the people Pi met in Mendocino wanted to hear these terrible stories, the personal disasters, or they quoted them back to her from what they'd read, with a certain glitter in their eyes -- giving Pi the chance to wonder again as she once had in a Wittgenstein seminar why there wasn't a word in English for Schadenfreude, that very human pleasure taken in other people's misery.
--Sylvia Brownrigg, The Metaphysical Touch

If self-replicating e-commerce baby tycoons get on your nerves, it's schadenfreude time. It's true that the Nasdaq rebounded after its staggering loss Tuesday. Nonetheless, what AP described as "the most volatile day ever for U.S. stocks" left a distinctly bearish aftertaste.
--"Market Motion Sickness." The Industry Standard's Media Grok, April 5, 2000






Schadenfreude comes from the German, from Schaden, damage + Freude, joy. It is often capitalized, as it is in German.

I know about Moore's weight but what about his personal life? Tell us more. Sorry, gossip has always been with us, deal with it.

It's the sort of artful debate that answers someone defending the 'crass, juvenile name calling' of Weinstein and Moore.

And aren't the liberals the ones trying to control 'personal failings like eating' by suing fast food restaurants?

As I said, what goes around, comes around. Deal with it.

I agree. It has just never won anyone a political debate. But go right ahead. I have no problem with gossip for gossip sake. I only take issue when it masquerades as political debate, which seems to be the main thrust of the anti-Moore talk. I wish it were focused on issues, not his weight.

Political debate is good but I'm here for entertainment too. What about his personal life? Are you going to leave me hanging? ;9)

Sounds as if they are being civilised about it, though, not using the kids as pawns or for advantage in the proceedings.

One would think you were too pristine to even bother getting your underwear in a bunch over simple dialogue among us simpletons on a message board ie., get a life cry baby. FREE SPEECH, learn it, love it or leave it alone.

We're here to discuss the facts and the FAT.
