24. Everyone knows that if she was drunk
it wasn't rape. :sarcasm: Make that double sarcasm. :sarcasm:

That's right up there with:
   If a woman is wearing a short skirt, she's "asking for it."
   If a woman is sporting any cleavage, she shouldn't even remotely consider pressing charges.

I'd add the sarcasm tags for that but a.) it's not necessary and b.) it's only half-sarcasm because these are just the types of arguments the defense will use in cases like this. And people will believe them.

The first I heard of the second stripper's story was in the article you linked. (Thanks for that BTW.) Granted, I watch very little TV but even with what little I watch, I did see the coverage of the police officer's statement regarding the victim being passed out drunk. Did they mention the second stripper's story on the TV news and I missed it (which is very possible) or is her story being ignored by the MSM? Just wondering.
