Read it here. It is like a train wreck because I couldn’t look away. Here is just a sample:

Russo is attractive in an almost feminine way, with light, wavy hair and flawless skin, and looks years younger than his true age. Even today, at 41, he could pass for 29 in the right light. In 2001, he pretended to be younger and younger - eventually flirting with being 18 again, at least to the men he met in their homes after brief chats online.

And that’s when he met the FBI agent in the adult chatroom, pretending to be a 13-year-old boy. Russo makes it clear, though, that he was the one who sent the first IM.

Read the entire thing. It gets worse and very awkward.

Why does this guy like drawing so much attention to himself? I’ve enjoyed Tim’s blogging. But this public pity party for a guy who should have spent more than 3 days in jail is just WEIRD.

And did you also get the feeling from James Renner that Congressman Tim Ryan and Russo were… um, shall we say… very close?
