Speaking of sexual politics, I can't help but wonder how common this sort of thing is in the ACLU -- I don't mean child porn, but I mean people who are drawn to the ACLU as a way of using politics to fight for sexual "freedoms" of all sorts:
A former Arlington County youth sports coach and civil rights lawyer who once headed Virginia's American Civil Liberties Union chapter was sentenced today to seven years in federal prison for buying child pornography that prosecutors labeled sadistic and masochistic.
"Youth sports coach" How unusual.
Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, pleaded guilty in June to downloading hundreds of pornographic images of children as young as 4. Authorities said Rust-Tierney used a computer in his 11-year-old son's bedroom to view the files, which included a six-minute video that depicted sexual torture of children, set to a song by the rock band Nine Inch Nails.
The personal is political, eh?
