Maybe Trump will be next. (Just kidding Donald, just kidding).

Don't forget Don Dokken, he's had his share as well!

Maybe it will be Donatella Versace next. I'm actually a little afraid of her. I once got summoned to her suite in the Waldorf on business. She wasn't there but I met her pretentious little entourage and had to walk past armed bodyguards in the hallway. What a scary woman though.

I may or may not have been ready to click on the link - until I saw -fox news-.
 
That's all I need to see.
 
Don has written many great songs, 3 of which I cover, and has always had my respect.
 
So I'll spare him any further indignity by NOT clicking on 'fox news' to deal with him in any way, shape or form.
 
Now if it was Dick Chaney...who insisted that every single TV in the white house and pentagon be tuned to fox news just as soon as he took office - right behind his 'moronic prop-up front man decoy dummy' who was unelected but nonetheless put in place to field 8 years of excellent questions by returning a barrage of consistently stupid answers...
 
But clearly, I digress.

So Fox News made it all up then did they?

Seems like a diversion to make this all about Fox News when in this case they're just reporting something that has been reported elsewhere.

Hi,
 
I just think that it is the new fad ... you raise your voice and voila ... abuse. You lower your voice and do something you shouldn't do ... and jail!
 
I think the main difference is that the media is all over it these days, where before they hid everything in this area. Abuse, in any form, was always there, and it was worse before than it is now ... but, we're more populated than we were before, which I think makes it look like it's way worse than before ... I find it weird to think that people can be that silly or stupid! Specially people that are "public" figures.
 
Reminds me of a certain AG, and their motto ... you're not an AG until you nail someone famous!

Here's one Don that didn't fall into that.......(he may have even been the victim)

He was funny ... I didn't know English and his facial expressions were great ... you knew the language was something out in left field without even knowing what it was!

This Don made a living out of abusing people.

Not what I'm saying there. Your words, not mine.
 
After all, I didn't even read it and of course would have no way to prove what is made up and what isn't - there or anywhere else.
But they do tend to be 'light or accuracy' and 'heavy on bias' - particularly pro-Republican and anti-Democrat, especially during the lame duck presidency of 2000-2008, which they consistently tried hard to mask as anything other than the complete failure that it was.
 
But I don't want to turn this into a political discussion, or dissuade any further, so I'll stop here in that regard.
 
As for the diversion - just a small rant of mine - hence the "But clearly, I digress" at the end.
