Deborah LaFave: I Agree With Her, She Should Be in Jail

I'm ill tonight not just from Nancy Disgrace's atrocious actions, but because every news show tonight has been filled with excerpts of Matt Lauer's interview with Deborah LaFave, the teacher who had sex with a fourteen-year-old student and then, rather than go to jail, makes a bundle off interviews with the media and posing for pictures.

In the interview I couldn't seem to avoid parts of, she says she probably should be in jail for what she did. I agree. The rest of the time, she sat there justifying the fact that while her rape by a boyfriend as a teenager was "terrible", her sex with a student was just "not a good idea."

She is not a sex offender she says; she "just made a bad choice... would never do anything to break the law." It's nice to see that she's apparently had money for breast augmentation surgery; her chest has grown steadily in pictures over the last few years. Sheesh.

If she was a man, that is where she would almost undoubtedly be.

I don't like double standards; our legal system shouldn't mete them out either. And our media shouldn't play into this woman's fantasy of being a sex goddess anymore than the way they fell over themselves interviewing fruit loop MaryKay LeTourneau for raping a boy and having two children with him she has YET to work to support despite all the time she's been out of prison.

Bipolar disorder or not, look into her eyes and there is no one home. There is no hint of a conscience there.
