Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Valentine's Day Edition

Struck by all of the junk in the headlines today about people of authority/privilege breaking the law, not to mind transgressing nomical morality. So I give you every headline of that kind from my My Way homepage:

• Sharon's son gets jail time in Israel funds scandal
• Two Air Marshals Accused of Drug Smuggling
• Cheney Cited for Breaking Hunting Law
• Abramoff Said to Claim Close Ties to Rove
• Sutton Done for Season Amid DUI Probe
• Former Ohio State Star Clarett Indicted in Robbery
• Trial Dates Set for Four Vikings in Boat Party Scandal

What's the deal? Are these just normal people getting caught? Do they think they're above the law? Do they flout it? It stinks.

One response anyone as disgusted as I am should have is to dial down their 'fandom' on some of this stuff.

Related thought: If Daunte's implicated, should the Vikings deal him, go with Johnson for now, and look to draft a QB for the future? Should I pull back on how much I follow the NFL?
