Bush's campaign adviser on Catholics, Deal Hudson, quits over "allegations" of sexual harassment while teaching at Fordham University. According to the clearly-ticked-off adviser, "the matter was satisfactorily resolved long ago." Of course, what the married-with-two-children-Bush-adviser REALLY means is that the school looked into the charges and the professor later surrendered his tenure and left the school - sounds pretty innocent to me.
Of course, my favorite part of the article is this:
He blamed an unidentified reporter from "a liberal Catholic publication" for digging up "information about my personal life" in what he said was an attempt "to embarrass me" for political reasons.I always love it when a conservative Catholic finds questions over one's family values to be "lowbrow... personal attacks." (My second favorite part of the article? Hudson publishes the journal "Crisis.")
"While I have no intention of being dissuaded by personal attacks, I will not allow lowbrow tactics to distract from the critically important issues in this election," Hudson wrote. "While I remain fervently committed to supporting President Bush's re-election, I think it best that I no longer play a role as an adviser in this year's campaign."
