This now seems like an eternity ago, but does anyone remember when Vice President Mike Pence was accused of “perpetuating rape culture” and being “sexist” and a whole ton of other horrible things?

All because of this?

Mike Pence never dines alone w a woman not his wife, nor does he attends events w alcohol, w/o her by his side. https://t.co/BxfS0JzbAc — Ashley Parker (@AshleyRParker) March 29, 2017



The outrage was dumb.

I made a joke late last night that today's Pence fidelity stories would be even stupider. I wish I'd been wrong. pic.twitter.com/ilE6oVWy3I — Mollie (@MZHemingway) March 31, 2017





The outrage was insane.

The outrage continued.

Pence won't have dinner alone with a woman who's not his wife. Literally, he won't, ever: No woman in her right mind would sit through that. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) March 31, 2017

We're rather used to Pence doing everything for show. I suppose his marriage might also qualify. https://t.co/wIql2k5dul — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) October 8, 2017



The outrage is now… strangely muted.



Really. This is the one and only tweet on Takei’s Twitter timeline since the Weinstein story broke. George Takei had more outrage and insults for Mike Pence’s marriage than for Harvey Weinstein’s systematic and continued sexual abuses of women.

The media went absolutely NUTS over the rules that the Pences had personally laid out for their own marriage. But somehow, everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein, and kept quiet?

THEY. ALL. KNEW.

But their “art” was more important than the real-life humiliation and pain that others were suffering.

That above clip is a lot more yucky to watch, knowing that at least 90 percent of that room was staying silent about the sexual abuser in the audience. So, is Viola Davis going to “exhume” some skeletons in Hollywood’s closet now?

So, ladies and gentlemen, I ask you this question – would you rather have Mike Pence or Harvey Weinstein as your boss?

This isn’t a difficult question. Unless you live in Hollywood, and you were willing to accept this sexual abuse because it was Harvey Weinstein. So long as he said all the right things, gave the right people money, and supported all the right causes, he continued to prey on women.

Honest people would prefer to have Mike Pence for a boss, because at least the women and the potted plants would be safe.

Hollywood could very well implode under their own hypocrisy. And they deserve it.
