Rudy's got a 20-year-old "communications director" who's still taking college classes (IN COMMUNICATIONS!) online.
"Every day is incredibly fluid," is probably not the very best self-job description a "communications director" with a VERY thin resume could possibly come up with, I'd think, but okay.

@mcfate she’s only twenty. I hope they don’t give her too much hell. She’s just a little chicklet. I felt the same way about Monica Lewinsky. The girl was only 22. She had a lot of learning and growing to do. That was so wrong for her to be torn apart like she was. The power/age dynamic was completely ignored.
@Blackwolf @mcfate i didn’t follow it too closely, tbh. I just think that most kids aren’t really fully mature until they’re about 25. I also tire of people excusing full grown men, laying it all at a young woman’s feet. My opinion, at the time, was that it was their business, not ours. Now that I’ve had daughters, my opinion has changed a bit. He needs to have owned what he did. We all make bad choices and they were consenting adults, it’s true... but the power dynamic was a key factor
@Blackwolf @mcfate just curious though.. what did she do? I always wondered how she’s ever find work again. I know she wrote a book but I was out of the country for a lot of that and being that I never watched much tv, I didn’t follow much. If I can see how it’s going to affect people in the long term, I generally do dig a little more
@Museek @Blackwolf I don't get the impression she's somehow made her fortune as the result of having given Bill Clinton a blowjob, but correct me if I've missed out on something.
@Blackwolf @Museek First, hardly anyone makes a lot of money from a book deal. Second, you seem to be terribly concerned with whom she's having sex.
Honestly, if I thought about Monica Lewinski six times in the past five years, it's probably a lot. Is she actually relevant to something? What? How?
@mcfate @Blackwolf that’s just it.. I wasn’t concerned with their sex lives. However, after I had daughters of my own and then the experience of seeing a young girl coming of age, struggling, it changed my perspective a bit. Why were they blaming a 22 year old when the responsibility lies squarely with the powerful man?
@mcfate @Blackwolf we treat men as if all sense leaves them if sex is proffered. That’s a flimsy excuse...

@mcfate @Museek then let's have more women as CEOS and presidents :) If men can't think with a hard on then they have no business in power or decision making. It's an excuse for doing what one feels entitled to. The reason why we have tickets if a person ignores a stop sign is because without consequences, human nature ignores rules. Men CAN think with a hard on but it's not what they WANT to do in the moment :)
@Blackwolf @mcfate what do you think drives people like that? At any age? Do you think it’s the result of not having parental intervention? Being very independent at a young age?
