1. That is interesting
"The Sugar Land Police Department would not talk about this case on camera, but they do say on the record that they're investigating Matthews after an allegation of indecency with a child. They are, however, reluctant to release any specifics"

snip

Congressman John Culberson, who appears weekly on Matthews' show says he can't imagine the talk show host being involved in any indecency with a child. He said "I just can't even imagine…I refuse to believe it…It must be a mistake."

It's important to stress that at this time, Matthews has not been arrested or charged with any crime.

Not enough info to know if charges will be forthcoming but keep us posted on this.

3. I guess he should have left that kid behind, but because of the
No child left behind legislation backed by Bush, he had no choice but to do as the president wishes.

7. Bob Lonsbery of WHAM also got fired
http://radio.about.com/library/weekly/aa092903a.htm

"It all began when Lonsberry made on-air comments that alluded to the black Mayor of Rochester, Mayor William Johnson Jr., as a monkey and orangutan."

This was mentioned in the Freeper thread posted above.

8. Well, well: "He Who Doth Protest Too Much...."
... this is an excerpt from one of the wingnut's - Mr. Matthew - columns which appeared just this week, October 22nd:

"Would you think that books dealing explicitly with sexual activity and including graphic illustrations would be in the children's section of our public libraries in Fort Bend County? Well, that is just such the case. A local women's Republican club is going to the trouble of circulating a petition to have the books moved to the adult section. Why is this even an issue? The county librarian should simply go pick up the books and walk them over to the adult section and stick them way up high on a shelf.

This is another example of our out of control bureaucracies. This is a matter of them knowing what is best for the masses and don't even dare criticize. It seems there is a process that must be followed when anyone complains about a book. There is a three-member review committee that has to meet and go over the book. This is zero common sense. Why would anyone believe that graphic sexual literature should be in a children's section? Just go get the books and place them in the adult section. See how easy it is to solve problems?"


Hmmm. Looks like the bureacracy has caught someone who might, himself, be out of control, ya' think?

Petard. Hoist? Criminal. Scene of the Crime?
