Over at City Desk, they've obtained an internal letter from the Child and Family Services Agency's new interim director, Dr. Roque Gerald. In the letter, addressed to "CFSA Colleagues," Gerald responds to revelations that he was sued over 20 years ago by a suicidal patient with whom he had sex. "Twenty years ago, I made an error that I recognized, regretted, and admitted immediately. I have continued to regret it ever since. That one-time lapse was a painful lesson, but it strengthened my commitment to the high standards I lived before and have upheld every day since." The entire letter is posted here.

Does anyone know about the armed robbery on 13th NW last night in Columbia Heights? The helicopters

they should have hired OJ Simpson as the interim director. he only screwed up once too.
oh wait, make that twice. never mind!
"...a suicidal patient with whom he had sex"? Suicidal because of the sex?
Rather than pillory Gerald for something he did 20 years ago, or drag the victim's name through the mud, we should be placing blame where it really truly, square in the lap of unrepentant cannibal Marion Barry.
i feel like this is the perfect opportunity to say something offensive, look around the room, and ask:
"too soon?? too soon?"
Maybe he's apologizing because the sex included junkpunching.
..perfect opportunity to say something offensive..
Doctor: Open your mouth and say 'ahhh'
patient: Um, thats not my mouth..
Doctor: And this aint no tongue depressor, baby!
boo-yah!
It's never too soon for Marion "I slice off those rosy cheeks/Because I feel so thirsty" Barry.
Particularly when he's chewing your baby's face off.
Now if only all the other debacles currently holding DC jobs would own up to 'regretting their errors'.
But, this being DC, that would only mean they'd get paid leave to deal with the stress their regret caused them.
You know, I have to object to the proliferation of the term "junkpunching".
It's a truly unfortunate development because in my opinion "punch you in the dick" is much funnier.
Was he charging $165 for 45 minutes, and did he take insurance?
Sure he may have confused the Hippocratic oath with a back issue of Penthouse Forum. ('do no harm' = 'do no patients')
And sure he might be a lousy lay.
But her condition went from 'suicidal' to 'litigious'; from a medical point of view that's an upgrade.
Alright, so he made a mistake. ONE MISTAKE! Can't a guy start over? Does he have to KEEP ON PAYING? HUH?
Maybe he should make ANOTHER mistake. MAYBE TWO MORE!
No, sir. Don't have much use for rubber nipples. Tell ya what, tho. Do you have any RUBBER WALRUS PROTECTORS?
Maybe he's apologizing because the sex included junkpunching donkeypunching.

Damnit, the HTML didn't work. Just pretend there's the word junkpunching is crossed off.

thanks, boondoggle, for going where i wouldn't dare.
i'm laughing my ass off here, really.
An "error?" A "one-time lapse?" He talking like he left his keys in the car or something. You f***ed up, jack. You COERCED a suicidal woman into unwanted SEX. Doesn't anybody talk HUMAN anymore? That's like when IT says the computers are "down," like they're some sad old lady who's fallen and can't get up. That s**t is broke. The computer is broken. Fix that s**t.
"Error!" That's some bulls**t newspeak there. That's up there with Dana Perino refusing to call it an Iraqi "withdrawal" and instead call for an "aspirational time horizon." WTF is that s**t? When I'm rawdogging, I don't say "Yeah, baby, I'm gonna aspirational time horizon my jimmy and squirt it on your back." Hell to the no! You call it what it is: you shootin skeet.
