The Shirtless Judge
« on: April 24, 2012, 01:33:39 PM »
Indiscretion aside, I'm more worried that someone who talks like a Jerry Springer guest is deciding people's innocence or guilt.

Quote
Third Circuit Judge Wade McCree, who specializes in sexual misconduct cases, admitted he texted a shirtless photo of himself to his bailiff's cellphone, where her husband found it.

"Hot dog, yep that's me," McCree told Charlie LeDuff, a former New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who now reports for MyFoxDetroit. "I've got no shame in my game. I ain't talked to nobody else's wife … There's nothing nude about it. I'm in no more clothes than I'll be at the Y this afternoon when I swim my mile."

Actually what really bothers me is the "specializes in sexual misconduct cases".

A married man sending a shirtless photo to a married woman in his employ? Does he not grasp that it might suggest "sexual misconduct?"
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Well, that too. The guy seems to be a real all-around winner.

I'm going to point out that a guy being proud of his upper body because he works out and sending a picture around is not really sexual in nature and I also note that the women who got the picture hasn't said anything.
Sounds like her husband is trying to cause trouble and the judge is playing this better then others who have had similar scandals.
He sent a picture of his upper body and he's not lying about it, trying to cover it up or denying anything.

I  ;/ over the outrage.

What perseption? Don't you mean, his, as in her husband? Cause we still havn't heard from her...

(and don't give that crap about "SO's rights" to big brother on their spouse, because that's a load of donky turds. If you can't trust your spouse, leave, because it's already over)

You know what I think? I think hubby dearest is an insecure ass who is probably flabby and can't figure out that she's more likely to split over his insecurity and ass like behavior then his lovehandles.

I think Bluestar is correct.

What's this about her perception?  She hasn't compained about it - so why is this an issue?

Also: Male upper body nakedness is classified by our society as completely benign; definitely not pornographic.

Bluestar was correct that we haven't heard from her. That doesn't mean she hasn't complained about it. We can presume that her husband was snooping through her texts. We can alternatively presume that he found out about it because she made a fuss about it.

But we don't know.

In defending the judge from being Zimmermaned, you can go ahead and Zimmerman the hubby. But that would be dumb.

Did you actually look at the picture? It doesn't even show the dude's belly button. It cuts off well before the end of the ribcage.  ;/

Seriously, the guy sounds and acts like your average jock bragging about how cut he is. It's about ego, not sex.

Eitherway, until SHE actually makes the complaint, this is stupid. And if she does make a complaint, i'm still probably going to go with stupid, because of the utter baniality of that picture.

The shirtless judge sounds like something out of Barney Stinsons playbook. :laugh:
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I'm going to have to assume that you're being deliberately disingenuous.  Suggesting that two married politicians that were actively trolling for sex outside their monogamous relationship has anything to do with the social acceptability of frontal male upper body nudity is non sequitur.

Open up any magazine.  Watch an hour of television.  Drive down the freeway!  You'll see topless men appearing in media everywhere.  Go to the community swimming pool; how many topless men do you see, right there, in public?

Want to talk about male politicians being topless in a way that's not disingenuous?  How about our president, who seems to have no problem being photographed topless:



Or the prime minister of Russia?

There is a significant difference between being photographed in public in a state where you are less than fully clothed and texing a picture of yourself in some stage of undress to a married co-worker as her superior.

Tell you what. Take your shirt off, take a pic, and email it to all your female co-workers. What do you suppose would be the result of that?
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I was specifically making a counterpoint to Jamie B, not to the OP.  And, I think it still stands to support my original assertion, that male upper body nakedness is classified by our society as completely benign.  What's the rating of a film that shows a topless man?  G, no?

Now, context does matter, and it still may have been inappropriate.  My last post was not addressing that, just challenging the assertion that because some politicians were involved in sex scandals that involved topless male pictures, topless male pictures are themselves inherently scandalous.  The best way to counter such an argument is to show that male politicians are photographed topless all the time, and yet, this is completely socially acceptable.

While there seems to be no shortage of stupid judges in my state, I am curious to see what (if anything) the judicial tenure commission will do.  That being said, I think there is something very crass about sending a picture like to a married subordinate. 

I have never been in front of this guy.  I am going to have to ask around to see what kind of reputation he has.

I think he'll be disrobed.
Either they were having any affair, or considering it. I doubt he was stupid enough to send that pic to someone he thought would be offended by it. Unfortunately for him, snoopy hubby found it, or wife showed it to him for some reason.  Normal people just don't send shirtless cellphone pics to coworkers -regardless of how acceptable male chests are.
