Duggars Redux: 19 Felonies and Counting

[Gigiree]

Not only is he blaming porn for his trolling for hook-ups, but in an update on that Gawker article, it appears a sentence was cut that further attempted to shift blame:

The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, in my heart I had allowed Satan to build a fortress that no one knew about.

You guessed it--porn and Satan are to blame (and Anna as well, although that's just implied at this point).

I wonder how much more shame the Duggar family can take from Dough-boy before booting him out of the clan?

[LurkerNan]

Can you imagine the phone call from his dad once this all came out? Hah!

And I bet all the Duggar daughters are pissed that the the guy who molested them, whom they were likely publically forced to "forgive", is still pulling sex bullshit and further killing their main source of money. They'd probably like to castrate him right now.

What a trainwreck. Josh clearly has issues that need to be addressed by a professional, not whatever summer Bible camp he attended after the molestation was uncovered.

My secret dream is that Anna will get the hell out and then write a tell all book about the Duggars. Pleasepleaseplease.

...and now he's edited the statement to remove the internet porn angle. Hrmmm. What's the end game here?

'I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.

Maybe this means that the women he had sex with are starting to get calls and offers from the tabloids.

Well, honestly, he didn't have to put the porn bit out there. That's totally new info. He could have just acknowledged that he's an adulterer. But thanks for throwing in that extra bit of info, Josh!

And lots of normal people look at porn and stay faithful and lead normal lives without Satan putting the web addresses in for them, dude.

ETA: Good god, do you think he took the porn stuff back because he might have child pornography in this search history or something? I mean, this guy obviously has major problems...

[kostgard]

I guess he wasn't actually caught red-handed for his "addiction" (only for the AM and Ok Cupid accounts - i.e., the cheating) so some PR person probably told him (too late) that he shouldn't 'fess up to a crime no one officially knows he has committed.

I'm feeling evil and this warms my black heart. What an amazing early birthday present! I would feel sorry for Anna, but I think she's too dumb to actually leave him, and will blame herself for this latest bomb. Sigh.

And I completely cackled when I saw this right after I read Ma and Pa want another TLC show where they counsel abuse victims. The timing is definitely karma. Ha!

* and the OKCupid profile was comedy gold.
* I wonder what TLC says since they have a Dugger special coming out next week.
* Hopefully People stops with the Duggar chronicles.

I'm sorry, what? TLC is still airing specials and giving a child abuser and his enablers money and legitimacy? What happened to their statement that they were cancelling the show? I suppose the show I only cancelled by strict technicality, as airing specials (and then a new show with a different name down the line) amounts to the same thing.

I knew it. I knew this would happen. The Duggars are too profitable to TLC for them to care about a little thing like abused children. Same with people. They write about the Duggars because people buy those magazines, because their fanbase doesn't care. Why have there been no calls to boycott TLC or People, no pressure on advertisers? Has everyone just moved on to the next shiny object?

The funny/horrifying part? The adulterous yet consensual and adult sex might kill his esteem among the fund crowd than his child molestation and incest. That's how it went with Herman Cain.

You know that some of the women will come forth and tell all for big bucks. Josh must know this too so he's speaking out before his sex secrets come out. Can we hope that Jim Bob's name will come out too?
