Reply #25: If Crier is from Texas . . .

[LdyGuique]

It's very possible that Crier has a major axe to grind with Lame Duck--him being such a loveable and ethical critter and all.

After all the trashmouthing that the Right has done, including misstating statements made during interviews immediately afterwards (a fave of Fox) and the slander and calumny that they've heaped on Clinton and Kerry, I have NO sympathy for any rightie being proved wrongie. I especially have NO sympathy for someone who gaybashed and is proven to have websites that would bring most of the Christian Right to cardiac arrest.

Furthermore, this wasn't some sneaky papperozi type of invading his privacy -- HE POSTED THIS CRAP HIMSELF ONLINE and paid to have it done! He made the decision and has to live by it.

A parallel minor case happened at Earthlink where I worked. One of the supervisors posted nude pics of himself and his wife on a website he developed. Many a victim of his verbal abuse thoroughly enjoyed is discomfort as the link was circulated around. No one felt that he should be fired, but it's difficult to take anyone too seriously when they are shown in the altogether on the net.
