Jesse James is a “poseur biker, ersatz ‘tough guy,’ reality show celebrity, and motorcycle-building's supposed bad boy”—and now he’s also “an idiot, a maroon, a John Edwards in a t-shirt and without the blow-dry.” James was never on the same level as Sandra Bullock, writes Steve Parker: She’s an award-winning actress; he got his start as a bodyguard for heavy metal groups that some “consider racist or pro-Aryan,” and he favors “Nazi symbology” (just like his alleged galpal).

James had achieved some success on his own, but he really hit the big time when he married Bullock. “Maybe Bullock was simply making way more money than James' ego could stand,” Parker continues on the Huffington Post. “His carefully researched and cultivated audience of young males no doubt think Bullock is hot and she would be more than enough for the ‘average’ man, but their hero Jesse is apparently not satisfied with a gorgeous Oscar-winning movie star.”
