Victims of the week?

by philg

My moderately deplorable friends have been sending me private messages with their candidates for American Victim of the Week. Here are a couple of the most plausible…

“George H.W. Bush Apologizes After Actress Says He Sexually Assaulted Her” (Huffington Post) concerns Heather Lind, 31 years old at the time (2014) she was assaulted by a wheelchair-bound 90-year-old accompanied by his 89-year-old wife.

Jenn Sterger, whose Wikipedia page says “Sterger has posed in Maxim and Playboy magazines … Sterger was featured on the E!: Entertainment Television show Byte Me: 20 Hottest Women of the Web … In 2009, Sterger had her breast implants removed, stating that they had served their purpose for her career, and that she was tired of being stereotyped,” is the second candidate. Fox News says “The former Playboy model wrote a scathing Twitter post lampooning the sports network and claiming she was subject to inappropriate behavior by ESPN employees.” It seems that she was imprisoned in a strip club (“had to watch”) and unable either to (1) turn around in the parking lot, or (2) walk out of the building once she realized that she had entered a den of sin. (Like the married man ratted out by Find Friends on his iPhone who said that he thought that “Pure Platinum” was a club for precious metal futures traders and then wandered around for 3 hours trying to get insight into why platinum was now cheaper than gold.)

Readers: Who are your candidates for the American Victim of the Week?

  1. Donald J Trump — the most maligned President in the history of the USA. Accused 24/7/365 on foreign collusion, racism insanity, and everything else under the sun based on absolutely nothing but totally made up bullshit.

  3. the other Donald: I don’t think that Melania Trump qualifies for this award due to the fact that she has never, as far as I’m aware, claimed to have been victimized (or, in any case, she hasn’t made such a claim this week).

    Dwight: Same issue with Donald Trump. Has he made any claim of victimhood this week?
