More about Jack "Off" Ryan.
Chicago Sun Times:
....Frankly, the point isn't whether he did or didn't equate romance with clubs that provide mattresses in cubicles. The point is that he lied. Whether he lied about the sex clubs is something that only he and his ex-wife know. What we know is that he lied -- consistently -- to voters and to Republican Party officials.
Throughout his campaign, he has maintained there was nothing embarrassing in the file. The only reason he wanted to suppress the documents was to spare his son any unnecessary embarrassment, he said over and over. Perhaps he was referring to the portions of the documents that were blacked out by California Judge Robert Schnider?
I must admit, I have been wondering for some time now how a man who appeared to be such a concerned father would take the risk of running for Congress. If the court documents contained revelations so harmful to his son, wouldn't a father choose to forego his own political aspirations--or at least delay them until a time when the child would be old enough to weather the storm?
Now we know the truth. The only male to be injured by the release of these court documents is the candidate himself. And the biggest injury here is self-inflicted....
