'Politician' Blasts Tom Brady for Being Tom Brady

You want to know the quickest way to torpedo your political aspirations? Run for Congress in Massachusetts and build your platform around bashing Pats quarterback Tom Brady. We're talking Walter Mondale-electoral-college-type popularity here. Despite the obvious setbacks to such a political strategy, it hasn't slowed Kevin Thompson, running on the Constitutional Party ticket, from getting the message out. Or something:
"Tom Brady apparently has no regard for traditional virtue or Biblical morality... What is manly or praise-worthy of a man hopping from supermodel to supermodel and forcing a woman to raise her child without a loving present, father?"
Didn't Chris Rock say something about a guy is only as faithful as his options? This sounds like Mr. Thompson.

Honestly, I'll never understand why people get so worked up over Tom Brady's personal life. Unless you're Bridget Moynahan, or members of her family, I'm pretty sure nothing Brady does affects you much. Or at least it shouldn't. People that look to celebrities for role models are just setting themselves up for disappointment.

Brady's in his 20s, by all accounts dreamy, and arguably the best quarterback on the planet. That he makes time with supermodels shouldn't be that surprising. That he impregnated one -- given the laws of probability -- shouldn't be that surprising either.

I know, I know, but he's had a bad attitude about becoming a father (or some such, I haven't really been paying attention). But here's a question for all the indignants: what about all the other professional athletes who father kids out of wedlock? Aren't we doing them a disservice by not putting them on a pedestal and then crushing them? Because, after all, isn't it about the children?

Oh, and Mr. Thompson, I'd keep an eye out for Larry Flynt. (And if you're a glutton for punishment, you can read the Thompson-on-Brady diatribe in its entirety here.)
