Classic Rant #215 (March 19, 2010): Shootout At the Less Than OK Corral

What can you say about the Sandra Bullock case?

This perky, effervescent actress, the recent winner of the Academy Award for her performance in "The Blind Side," recently found out that her husband, reality TV star Jesse James, had been fooling around with a tattoo model/stripper while she was filming this movie.

She has moved out of their house, and although James is apologetic, their marriage seems headed for the rocks.

Well, this appears to be one of those cases where you can take the white trash away from the boy, but you can't take the boy away from the white trash.

Why James was even attracted to this piece of garbage, who appears to have every spot of her anatomy covered in tattoos, is a mystery. Perhaps his wife didn't have the requisite number of tattoos the overly tattooed himself James has. He goes for women like this; his second wife, Janine, is a hugely popular porn star with huge breasts and equally huge tattoos all over her body.

Anyway, this seems an inopportune time for Bullock to have to deal with this mess.

After years of not being taken too seriously as an actress, the ever popular actress finally hit her stride with this movie. Now, her memories of this film will also include the "when the cat is away, the mice will play" scenario, which might ruin the experience, taking her off the high she was probably on when she filmed the movie and months later, was presented with this award.

Let's face it; Jesse James, like Tiger Woods, Steve Phillips, David Letterman and the like, is a piece of trash who can't keep his pants on. Why he chose this piece of garbage over Bullock is beyond my comprehension, but he made that choice.

It's not the first time a husband has strayed, and it certainly won't be the last.

But when it happens to an All-American girl who is firmly in the spotlight right now, I think it hurts her, of course, but I think it also hurts the general public, too.

If this cad cheated on her, our vision of the All-American family, with the mom, dad, kids and white picket fence, is shattered, and shattered for good.

And that is really the tragedy of this whole thing.
