Alex Polier speaks
Posted by

Alex Polier, the victim of the "Kerry intern" flap, has written a fascinating blow-by-blow account. Somehow I doubt that the Kerry-haters will bother to link to it.
As I said before, the depth of depravity displayed by those who hyped this scandal and then refused -- still refuse -- to retract makes the behavior of the ordinary criminals and drug dealers whose conduct I study professionally seem rather innocent by comparison.
Update The Talmud has something useful to say on this, and the blog Yesh Omrim expounds the text skilfully. I suppose rising sea levels aren't exactly the same as a Flood, but there are definitely parallels.
