It must be Spring, because all of a sudden there’s a flurry of legal activity in the air.  Remember Benjamin Crosswhite?  Let me jog your memory – he was the “personal trainer” to Jerry Falwell Jr. who was given an 18-acre fitness facility and $650K for “services rendered”.  He’s filed a lawsuit against the Reuters media outlet because they referred to him as “another pool boy”.  Benji claims their account of the affair caused him “scorn, ridicule, and public humiliation”.  One bit of the suit caught my eye – prior to the Reuters report, “Ben enjoyed an untarnished reputation as a personal trainer and businessman.”

Next up is a surprising sex scandal involving Matt Gaetz.  I call it “surprising” because nowhere is there any mention of other men, boys, or his “adopted son”.  No, believe it or not, the Republican Congressman from Florida is being investigated for an alleged sexual relationship with a teenage GIRL!  I know – shocking!  It’s also alleged that Matt paid a 17-year-old girl to “travel” with him.  We hear that the payment could have been in cash, drugs, or a combo platter.  Crossing state lines means charges of sex trafficking are being investigated, and Gaetz is being probed.  I will suppress the obvious joke.
