We need a new thread. Might as well comment on the topic du jour: Weinstein.<\/p>\n
Lots of things could be said. I’m going to comment on Hillary’s response when asked if she’s giving his money back. <\/p>\n
“What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is they’re going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that,” she said. “I give 10% of my income to charity every year, this will be part of that. There’s no — there’s no doubt about it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
My translation: She’s going to continue giving 10% of her income to charity she likes– just as she’s always done. Just as she would have done if the Weinstein story had not come out. The Weinstein story will not affect her donations in any way.<\/p>\n
In other words: She’s not giving up a penny of the money Weinstein gave her.<\/p>\n

But I do think it tells us something about Hillary. Something many people already know. But…. still…<\/p>\n
The other interesting story: Ronan Farrow<\/a> who supported his sister when she accused Woody Allen of sexual abuse seems to be a major hero in this story about Weinstein’s sexual depradations. Go Ronan! <\/p>\n
