Bullshit candidate, possible bullshit charges

Alvin Greene in the interviews I've seen looks like a guy who could use some serious psychological counseling of some sort -- or at least a job that doesn't involve politics. And he may be a political plant, or just the by-product of the short-comings of the primary process.

In any case he goes on a list of people who probably shouldn't hold office -- so in South Carolina coming up against Jim DeMint that makes two of 'em.

But I do have to wonder about these charges:

Longshot U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene has been indicted on a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student...

Greene was arrested in November after authorities say he approached a student in a University of South Carolina computer lab, showed her obscene photos online, then talked about going to her dorm room.

I don't know exactly what happened here, and it certainly is both very creepy and not exactly an effective "dating" technique. There could be more to this that makes it criminal, however, if he literally approached a woman and showed her the cover of a porno-tape or a Hustler, is that really a felony?

That seems a bit harsh, even if it is especially disgusting.
