The lame leading the pathetic
Dumb-ass radio talk show host (are there any other kind?) Tom Leykis has taken it upon himself to broadcast the name of the young woman who claims she was raped by Kobe Bryant.
Meanwhile Tom Leykis, host of a radio talk-show based in Los Angeles and aimed mostly at young men, began using her name on the air and told Reuters that he has no plans to stop.
"We're told that rape is violence, not sex, and if that's true there's no reason she should feel shame or embarrassment," Leykis said, adding that he felt it unfair to name Bryant but not his accuser.
The talk-show host, who is heard on 60 stations across the country, also said he did not believe the woman's claims. He said he believes the woman was seeking attention and money and that Bryant could be the "real victim" in the case.
Which leads to the question: What the hell is a Tom Leykis? This is Tom Leykis. And here is a little bit about this useless flap of skin attached to a similarly useless but much smaller flap of skin:
Equally provocative is his "Leykis 101." An unapologetic primer to help men get laid with minimum effort, its "rules" - a retort to the women's self-help guide - include Never spend a lot of money impressing her on the first date, Stop seeing her if you don't get laid by the third date, and Never date single mothers. Like Flash Fridays this, too, began innocently enough, with Leykis lecturing a staff member about his love life. While most male listeners have welcomed "Leykis 101" like manna from heaven, many women see it as the Black Plague. On "Politically Incorrect" in February 1999, Leykis defended his position amid a hostile group of female panelists: "We don't fall in love with you until we get some tail!...If you think that we hear a word you say before we get in your panties, let me tell you something, we don't!"
Wait a minute. This manatee* has a love life? He gives dating advice? To whom?
Oh. Studboys like this: The Tom Leykis Rohypnol Posse.
It all makes sense now.
* My apologies to the lovable manatees.
