[...] Thursday we cited The Cullman Times saying that Gov. Bob Riley had “unexpected business” in Washington at “a high level meeting.” [...]

[...] I suspect that the primary blog in question is Doc’s Political Parlor, which published this post on the matter. There were other blogs that proffered such speculation, but none with the solid history of political neutrality and bona fide access to insiders to rival Doc’s that would incite an actual response from the Gov’s office..

Hey, “Losing Credibility Fast”, is your other name “REALGOPGIRL”? Because you sound a lot like a sock puppet to me.

Dan, your blog is losing credibility rapidly with stuff like this. Haven’t you noticed how every single “source” on this thing is from the area around Cullman County? You are lumping yourself in with fringe characters and your blog is becoming a joke.

Terry, during the Craddick – Baxley keruffle, a multi generation xerox of an affadavit by a state parolee was circulating in gas stations and other places alleging various indiscretions by Craddick.

Overall, though I still Artur Davis’s take was the most balanced I’ve seen.

For the conspiracy theorists, Riley is a Mason, Bush is connected to Skull and Bones, both are connected to the Illuminati.

You are right. Anyone can sign an affidavit to anything….but they don’t do they? Google around and see how many stories there are about false allegations involving affidavits. Not many if any. Why? They are sworn statements, and if ever introduced by another party in a lawsuit, become grounds for charges. Would these powerful men not have already squashed this story if it so obviously not true? Perhaps they know, as Simpson alludes, that she has the back up phone records and other documents. Also, perhaps she has other information gathered from her time working for Riley. Dismiss this one at your own peril. What’s NOT being said by the other guys is deafening. I love the attacks on Simpson as “crazy” etc. I am reminded, ironically, of Prosecutor Steve Feaga’s comments during the Siegelman trial when the defense attacked Nick Bailey. Feaga said “deals cut in the bowels of hell are not often witnessed by angels.” And he went on to say…”Judge, these are there guys. We just take ‘em where we find ‘em.” The sharpest edge of any double edged sword is the one YOU choose not to use.

Folks, there are some genuine differing opinions expressed on this thread, but Danny and Kathy have adequately demonstrated that REALGOPGIRL is a troll (dare I say a GOP troll?) posting here to waste your time, raise your blood pressure and hijack the comments thread with silly accusations and non-arguments. Better to pretend she’s in time-out and just ignore her. You’ve heard her talking points and she has nothing else.

REALGOPGIRL,

Tell me where I said I believed there was a conspiracy. Tell me the sentence, the paragraph, the post, where I said there was a conspiracy. You saying over and over and over that I am a conspiracy theorist doesn’t make it true.

Yes, Bush’s administration has politicized the DoJ. Yes, there are some questions worth raising. I am not saying there is a conspiracy. I’m not saying there’s not. I have publicly expressed doubt.

But show me where I said there was a conspiracy. Tell me when I said that.

Show me.

- or any of the other accusations took place. Just something…until then, Danny, Dana and Glyn are a bunch of
loony conspiracy theorists…my opinion

Again, all of this conspiracy theory stuff started with an affidavit from a woman who says she was on a conf call 5 years ago.
Anyone on this blog can sign an affidavit and it mean nothing. Thus, I’ve simply asked that some proof be shown…that it -

REALGOPGIRL,

You are making baseless accusations that demonstrate that you really don’t know what you are talking about.

I have asked you for specifics on where I am being unfair, and you have offered nothing specific.

You are saying things that are simply not true. For example, you said that I “defend Don Siegelman to the end” and that “I despise Bob Riley.” See… now you are just making stuff up. Riley has been a good governor, easily better for Alabama than Siegelman was, imo, and I’ve told people that for a long time.

If you have some specific objection with something I’ve said, then raise it. But all you have offered is a bit of baseless ranting with nothing backing up what you are saying.

In the meantime, you might try switching to decaf. :)

“…I don’t see him with much credibility…”

Then why are you here? Surely you’d be much more comfortable somewhere completely “non-partisan”. The Free Republic comes to mind.

Legal Schnauzer, you are either an attorney or you get arrested far too often b/c you seem to spend a lot of time in front of
lawyers…
