Obama's Public Support of Michael Vick

Paris Hilton: She has a history of acquiring animal accessories, then forgetting them—one kitten was hit by a car and employees say she abandons animals in closets to die.

Gerard Butler: Aside from maybe-dating Jennifer Aniston, he's also accused of punching a dog in the face after it touched noses with his pug. He claims the dog attacked first.

Jesse James: Other personal foibles aside, the biker is accused of fighting his pit bulls to near-death.

Mike Tyson- PETA asked prosecutors to investigate Mike Tyson's Animal Planet reality TV show about pigeon racing, saying the races likely involve illegal gambling and cruelty to animals. Mike Tyson has apparently been raising pigeons since he was little, but this will be his first venture into racing them. The important thing to take away here is that Mike Tyson raises pigeons.

Jon Gosselin- made the honest mistake of talking about how his kids treat the family dogs, saying, “Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal.” Animal activists got all up in his business and Gosselin issued another statement saying, “We understand the responsibilities of being good dog owners. Whenever my kids are with Shoka and Nala, everyone is carefully supervised to ensure that no one—dog or child—is injured.” That's just how kids are with animals. I used to get knocked on my butt by our German Shepherd and I would turn around and spank him. Just as Jesus would have done, had he been a toddler with a large dog, when the couple broke up the dogs were taken back to the kennel cause Kate couldn't handle them.

Kim Kardashian thinks she's a momma cat and can pose with

a cat by the scruff for spank bank material

And this all sucks as does the other parts of Vick's history. Frankly, who wants genital herpes (Yipee!) given to them and who wants their bank stiffed for a loan default or the rental of 130 cars, never mind the other incredibly bad financial decisions.

If were going to pretend that athletes aren't role models, we don't have common ground to start a discussion. And if were going to pretend that most people, including my students who have had Vick's background and then some, are afforded the second most lucrative contract in sports and get the opportunities that Vick has been afforded, then I really have no common point to begin here.

We are all responsible for actions, and if we can't be trusted in a position of power over an elderly person, or a child, or a partner, or a dog, then we really don't deserve that power.

SoNotHer - great point. Most people (who are not celebrities/sports stars) do not have the kind of opportunity to start over, get a job, home, financial security etc., that Vick has had after leaving prison. Martha Stewart is the only person I can think of of the top of my head. But, of course, her crimes did not involve the torture, abuse & murder of dogs.

It’s all about turning back into an animal and that’s the beauty of it. Place your guilt on the sidewalk and take a blow torch to it (guilt is usually worthless anyway). Be perverted, be filthy, do things that mannered people shouldn’t do. If you’re going to be gross then go for it and don’t wimp out."---Master Aiden
