A Memorable Headline: 'President Charged with Rape'

Buried in today’s Boston Globe is this tiny story; ‘President may face rape, fraud charges’. The story concerns the President of Israel, where the presidency is a ceremonial office.

No doubt all those in Congress who are now in such a lather over the salacious behavior of a Republican Congressman toward male pages would be far more outraged if the US president was accused of rape, right?

Wait a minute! Didn’t that actually happen in 1999? Funny, I don’t remember the House Democratic Caucus being all up in arms over it then. Go figure.
