DAY 8: Blue Oregon FINALLY Says SOMEthing About Goldschmidt, Kulongoski, Giusto

And that something is, "Gosh, it's so hard to remember if you ever found out about your bestest pal and political patron raping a young girl? Well now, WHO wouldn't let that slip away from consciousness?"
Quoting from the Zero's editorial on Sunday in which they rush to the defense of the apparent bad memory of the current Guv:

To believe that Kulongoski, with years of political, legal and judicial experience, knew about these things is to believe he knowingly set aside the knowledge and appointed Goldschmidt to lead higher education, the central initiative of the new administration. It is also to believe that, when Goldschmidt quit, citing poor health -- when the jig was nearly up -- that Kulongoski fairly begged him to stay. Think what you may about Kulongoski, but there is simply no way to square such an accusation with any other aspect of his life and career.

Could we say for certain he did not know the story? Of course not. It is impossible to prove a negative.

That is very much the governor's problem, too. Kulongoski has been asked about these events over and over, and he has denied knowing the story. Is it fair to him to ask him again to prove the negative? Is it good for Oregon?

We don't think so.

  1. It'd be nice to go through life with those kind of rose colored glasses, except you run smack dab into Fred Leonhardt right in mid-sentence while he says he personally told Ted.

  2. I think the Zero would defend the guy even if there was an open-and-shut incriminating video. Must be a powerful feeling to know you have such an mouthpiece on your side, and there are so many readers who believe what the paper prints.

  3. Before long look for Teddy to say, like he did with the illegals having drivers licenses, "I didn't know it was a problem". Or words to that effect.

    And when Giusto goes down, he will take other, high-ranking people with him. He isn't going to take the fall alone. It's too bad that he probably won't take Bradbury or Hardly Matters Myers down too.
