I agree that the son shouldn't have released the tape. What exactly was there to gain by making his dad look like a bigot? What a disappointment. Well, I guess that blows out the 'blood is thiker than water' theory. That’s some unbelievable trash. I agree that the son shouldn’t have released the tape.

"Just-this-side-of-al-dente" I laughed out loud at that one. Great one! Actually, as I suspected, it was the son that did it. This just makes a bad situation worse. Regardless of what father-son issues are present, you don't embarrass your parent like that. Shameful. I guess I'm just old school that way.

When is it that we as people need to leave well enough alone and let people have their private conversations? I am tired of the overscrutinization of celebrities and quite frankly, am tired of the lives and/or foibles of celebrities being treated as mainstream news. Without the luck (and let's face it, it's sheer luck) that celebrities have to end up where they are - in the spotlight, they'd be everyday schmos like you and me. I have been known to let an epithet fly once in a blue moon (not proud but not ashamed), fart in public, and scratch what needs scratching regardless of venue. These people are entitled to the same thing. Conversely, however, the life of celebrity is the life they have chosen, and so enjoy the things that go with it. Is it wrong to 'spy' or 'tap' houses or phones or emails? absolutely not. If we as common citizens have the right and ability to, behind closed doors, hide some of our 'just-this-side-of-al dente' traits, then we should be entitled. I agree.
