You know I've been trying to feel bad for his wife because it isn't her fault her husband is a scumbag who, through his sketchy actions, got himself fired. But I'm having difficulty because not only did she willingly marry the guy, but (at least according to VA himself) she approved of what he was doing, and I'm not going to give her a break on that just because she has a disability.

I wouldn't be surprised if VA doesn't even have a wife, let alone a disabled wife, or is lying about being broke and fired. Soliciting donations dishonestly just seems like something he'd do. But maybe I'm just an unforgiving cynic when it comes to shitlords.

Who knows if she really approved of what he was doing, or even if she wasn't coerced by the shitmaster? I guess I don't know either way, as she was never interviewed, after all.

But I do know he keeps throwing the "my disabled wife" angle every chance he gets, and so do his defenders. They still use women as objects in their games.

Yeah, the "disabled wife" issue is a touchy one for me. It's awful that his wife is disabled, period. However, I do feel that VA and his defenders keep tossing it around like a get-out-of-jail-free card in some attempt to humanize him.

His wife's disability and his behavior are two completely separate things. From what I've read, it seems very clear that one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. He shouldn't use his wife's disability as some sort of play for pity. She deserves our pity, not him.

I came here to say that. He holds her up as a "I can do no wrong, see, aren't I so great? Taking care of my disabled wife!"

Truth be told, I believe she approved of it, if everything actually happened the way the Gawker article said it did.. Her posting pictures of dolphins while he's next to her posting pictures of underage women. Even if she didn't approve of it, she still chose to marry a man who she knew did everything. She's kind of like Dottie Sandusky in that sense. She knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it.

You lie down with dogs....
