The Swamp is in full panic mode. They are pulling out the big guns. They claim Judge Roy Moore is a
pedophile and cannot be allowed to represent the good people of the great state
of Alabama. If Moore wins
the election the Senate should refuse to seat him. The Washington
Post claims it stumbled across this story by accident: “While reporting a story in Alabama about supporters of Moore’s
Senate campaign, a Post reporter heard that Moore allegedly had sought
relationships with teenage girls.”
The Swamp media would have us believe that they do not have a double
standard when it comes to conservatives.
When Sarah Palin was selected for vice president David
Corn claimed, “Alaska’s getting pretty crowded…with investigative reporters
and scandal-chasers.” Six weeks
after being offered an exclusive story by Paula Jones the Post printed nothing. The Post's managing editor, Robert Kaiser
claimed "We have an
obligation to the Post's readers to do our best to establish the truth and not
simply to print damaging accusations the moment they are made."
The author of the Washington Post article on
Moore is very conscious of the problems the paper has with credibility. She goes to great lengths to establish the
main accuser’s bona fides. Leigh
Corfman is not, like Paula Jones, who Newsweek’s Evan Thomas
called "some sleazy
woman with big hair coming out of the trailer parks." McCrummen claims, “none of the women
has donated to or worked for Moore’s Democratic opponent.” Corfman voted for Republicans and even
voted for Trump. She described her
story consistently in six interviews with The Post. Neither Corfman nor any of the other women sought out The
Post. All were initially reluctant
to speak. Corfman claims, “I have
prayed over this.” She is obviously
what the Post’s Michael
Weisskop called one of the people who are “largely poor, uneducated, and
easy to command.”
The Swamp accepts
Corfman’s allegations without reservations. No one from the Swamp asked, “Why is this coming out
now?” After 38 years is it
possible that the memories of a girl from a broken home might be distorted.
Corfman has been
divorced three times and has been plagued by financial problems. She blames her chaotic teenage
recklessness; drinking, drug abuse, promiscuity and a suicide attempt on Moore. By contrast Moore is a West Point
graduate, a Vietnam veteran, a law school graduate, and what some would
describe as a “holy roller.” This
is not to say that “holy rollers” have not been known to “misbehave.” People have to decide who is more
credible.
The question of credibility frequently depends on which side of the
political spectrum an individual is on. Members of the Swamp will immediately side with Corfman. The Swamp creatures have revealed
themselves yet again. Mitch
McConnell is leading the charge.
McConnell stated, “If these allegations are true, he must step
aside.” He was followed by Sen.
Jeff Flake who argued, “If there is any shred of truth to the allegations
against Roy Moore, he should step aside immediately.” Sen. Susan
Collins said, “If there is any truth at all to these horrific allegations, Roy
Moore should immediately step aside as a Senate candidate.” Sen. Lisa Murkowski said, “I’m
horrified.” Sen. Rob Portman said,
“It was very troubling … if what we read is true and people are on the record
so I assume it is.” Sen. John
McCain had no doubts about Moore’s guilt.
He tweeted, “The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and
disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama
to elect a candidate they can be proud of.” All of these Senators are Republicans and member of the
Swamp.
McConnell and the
other Swamp creatures would rather have a democrat in this Alabama Senate
seat. George H.W. Bush
voted for Hillary Clinton and is an unlikely Moore supporter. Max
Boot, a Rubio consultant said, “I would sooner vote for Josef Stalin than I
would vote for Donald Trump.” He
is also an unlikely Moore supporter.
These are not 38 year old allegations.
The Swamp’s
Claude Rains imitations are unconvincing. Presently
Senator Bob
Menendez is being investigated for financial corruption. Federal prosecutors believe that “defendants
Menendez and Melgen had sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican
Republic." These are not 38
year old allegations. Three women
who made the prostitution allegations later recanted and said they were paid to
level the charges. Who paid them? Is the Post interested? Sen. Lindsey
Graham has testified as a character witness for Menendez. Are Swamp creatures outraged by the
recent release of FBI documents claiming Martin
Luther King engaged in sex orgies? Are they outraged by a Hollywood producer, Roman
Polanski, who drugged and raped a 13 year old? Or was this not a case of “rape-rape?”
Charges of sexual
misconduct have been successfully used by the Swamp in the past. In 1989 Senator John Tower was nominated
for Secretary of Defense. The day the debate on Tower's nomination began in the Senate,
Bob Woodward’s article entitled, "Incidents at Defense Base Cited,
Drunkenness, Harassment of Women Alleged" appeared on the front page of
the Washington Post. Bob Woodward reported that informed sources
claimed Tower had been drunk at Bergstrom Air Force Base. Tower was not confirmed and the next
day it was revealed that Woodward’s source was discharged from the Air Force
for psychiatric reasons. Another
story used against him was that he danced naked on a grand piano with his
mistress, a Russian ballerina. This was reported by Leslie Stahl on CBS even
though the FBI had reported they had reason to believe it was not true. Sen. Ted
Kennedy told students at Yale University that he was "troubled" by
reports that John Tower drank excessively and made improper advances toward
women.
For many an
attack on Judge Moore by McCain is the next thing to an endorsement. If McCain
opposes him he must be a patriot. The
President missed a great opportunity to embarrass the Swamp. He reportedly said that Moore will “step
aside” if the charges are true. He
should have mentioned that in light of the Swamp’s past behavior this is
unlikely that the charges are true.
