This guy was just a hypocrite against his family

But why is this news?

Unless he's soliciting under-aged children, this isn't newsworthy IMO. This shit happens all the time in Europe, and no one blinks.

not a story - I don't care if you're gay, straight, liberal or conservative.

Didn't think of Tim Geithner when I first read the story about the CFO. Nonetheless, doesn't matter if the family is a bunch of Trotskyites or John Birchers. This man is married with three kids. Maybe his wife knew about his inclinations, maybe she did not. But what kind of a society are we were we have to disclose such a person detail of someone's life that will undeniably cause embarrassment to his wife and children? That is sick.

The high-ranking executive named in the story is the brother of Tim Geithner. Would the same amount of outrage over the publication of the post be there if the target was a republican or brother or a republican???

If escorts/prostitution was legal, like it should be, this wouldn't even be a story.
