Mosley's feelings hurt by coverage of his sado-masochistic orgies

Motor racing boss, Max Mosley has been complaining about his treatment at the hands of the press to MPs in a committee which is investigating press standards, privacy and libel laws despite a £60k payout from the courts against the News of the World.

Asked about the day the News of the World article had been published about him last July, Mr Mosley told the MPs: "It's very difficult to describe if something like that happens completely out of the blue... I had been doing this for 45 years and there had never been a hint and nobody knew."

He added that he had been "outraged", saying: "If someone takes your goods you have got some chance of replacing them. If someone takes your dignity, you have got no chance of replacing it."

He also said; "What's really appalling is for my family. Can you imagine seeing pictures like that of your father? It's just appalling. It's not even talked about outside the circle. Nobody knew. My closest friends didn't know. My wife didn't know."

Now call me crazy but if this old chap had exercised a modicum of self-control in the first place and kept his trousers on, surely his family would've been spared the humiliation they are now subjected to. He would also have maintained the good reputation he claims to have worked so hard to build and he would also not be having to go through the hardship of defending his honour in the courts. In Fact, the obvious advice for anybody with real concerns about any of the issues above should be to avoid sado-masochistic orgies all together...would it not?

What he seems however to be quite happy to do it seems is deny any responsibility for his own actions in any of this and to blame the media for drawing the public gaze upon his bare white arse doing things he probably shouldn't be doing at his age and in his familial and professional position. If you ask me, he's successfully mounted a bit of a "tree falling in the woods" argument; if nobody is there to hear it - does it really make a sound? And if someone is there to hear it falling in one direction but it falls in another, then it should be ignored.

The answer for poor, whining Max is that unfortunately if you are a famous and influential tree then there will always be someone waiting around to see if your going to fall in any direction. He can't be that niaive can he? I don't think so. What this Q&A session reveals is a dishonest, manipulative old fox with a thirst for revenge and a propensity for shirking responsibility....Hey, shouldn't he be working for the government!!!
