Oh, I don't know ...... can it be right to expose the pecaddillos of an
individual (however well sourced) just for amusement? Isn't it more in
keeping with the tabloid spirit to stick to gossip and innuendo? Nudge,
nudge, say no more .....

Of course, one has heard it advocated forcefully that those who seek
publicity for themselves abbrogate any right to privacy thereafter
.... but I have never been quite convinced ..... nor would I care to
have the Human Rights Act waved at me (and my sources) for breach of
privacy.

Quite a moral dilemma for a liberal leftie .....

Suffice to say that more than beans were spilled, if you get my drift
...wink, wink ...
