Accountability of a Stripper

I'm sure we have all heard of the ex-stripper who was trash talking A-Rod at a game and he came up to her, said hi, and asked her out. That led to dinner, a visit to his apartment, and then an affair. A-Rod is a piece of dirt, that two-timing, wife-hating, cheater. He should be held to a higher standard, after all. Right? Well, sort of. While I do think athletes, because they are in the spotlight and are idols for so many kids, need to be very careful of their conduct, that does not mean that the average ex-stripper gets a free pass for what she did.

This Candace lady is all stressed out now because paparazzi have been showing up outside her parent's home. She said "I don't need this. I am not the one with a pregnant wife at home". Yes, but you are the one who had sex with her husband. Not once, but twice, the second time a year after she "felt bad" after seeing his wedding ring. Here are a few more things this lady said that make me scratch my head......

“It was killing me and I felt bad afterwards,” she said. “I’m not a bad person. I know how it feels to be cheated on, it sucks. But a couple of drinks later, I didn’t notice all that much, to tell you the truth.” (on her first night with A-Rod--alcohol does it again)

“He said he had a big game the next day. I like to say I helped us win,” she laughed. “I reversed the curse!” (During the 2004 ALCS--way to take on for the team)

“A leopard doesn’t change his spots. Good for her, I think she’s doing the smart thing. And she’ll probably get tons of cash." (On Cindy Rodriguez filing for divorce--real classy thing to say. So if a leopard doesn't change his spots, what does a stripper not change? And, I'm sure any honest women would love to exchange a broken heart, marriage, and family....not to mention broken hearted children, for a ton of cash.)

I have never once heard this lady offer any apology, or say she did anything wrong (other than down one-too-many Heineken's) Are we going to let her off this easy? As much as I dislike A-Rod, she had a choice too, and she chose to be a fornicator. Twice. (well, with A-Rod anyway) It would be nice if our society would adopt something called accountability. Let me spell that for you. A-c-c-o-u-n-t-a-b-i-l-i-t-y. It means, if you do something stupid, admit to it and realize there are consequences and you get to deal with them for doing something you shouldn't have.
