Like plenty of other cable news talk-show hosts, Greta Van Susteren anchored a segment on her top-rated Fox News show Tuesday assessing, among other things, the future of Herman Cain’s presidential candidacy in the wake of the allegation that Cain had a 13-year affair with a woman from Atlanta.
But unlike plenty of other cable news talk-show hosts, Van Susteren had an important relationship to the story, and to the Cain campaign. Her husband–prominent Washington lawyer John Coale–is now acting as an adviser to Cain.
Van Susteren did not disclose her husband’s relationship to Cain on the air, opting instead to alert readers in a post on Gretawire.com that Coale’s relationship with Cain is not an ethical issue because the Cain campaign is not paying him. She also maintained that the Cain alliance is pretty much par for the course for people living inside the Beltway.
“Here is a partial list of my husband’s Washington friends,” Van Susteren wrote: “Gov. O’Malley (D), Gov. Palin (R), The Clintons (D), Speaker Gingrich (R), Leader Pelosi (D), Senator Santorum (R), Congresswoman Bachmann (R), Senator John Kerry (D), Mr. Herman Cain (R). “My husband has lived in Washington for a long time and has lots of friends and he makes friends,” she continued.
“My husband has never worked for any of them nor taken a dime from any of them. He is not a lobbyist (never has been) and he is not looking for a job. These are simply his friends . . . people he finds interesting. As friends, he gives them advice, and they give him advice . . . he tells them things and they tell him things. I suppose his years as a lawyer makes him a good source for advice and just conversation. It is all part of living in Washington.”
"John Coale a major Democrat donor and husband of Fox News’ Greta Van Susetern wanted Sarah Palin to help pay off Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt back in 2009, in yet another media connection to the corrupt Clinton family. According to Politico back in 2009, John Coale, a wealthy trial attorney and the husband of Fox News talk show host Greta Van Susteren, approached Palin with the improbable plan in February while in Alaska with Van Susteren at the time she was taping interviews for Fox News with Palin. Sarah Palin of course wasn’t having any of that crap that snake oil sales John Coale was selling and never agreed to any deal."
John Coale, currently advising Sarah Palin on running for president in 2012, is a Scientologist. And according to a memo obtained by Gawker, Coale once plotted to use friendly politicians to advance the power-hungry cult's agenda.

I have stopped watching Greta, as she has been more on the attack of Cruz and it has seemed rather biased and supportive to Trump and I wondered if there was some kind of connection in the background.
This is in no way my attempt to smear Sarah Palin... This is about Greta, and just because I don't support Trump, it doesn't mean I am against Palin. She has to do what she feels right to do. I could be entirely wrong about my assesment of Trump and her be right. Only history will tell.
Greta isn’t the only one not disclosing relationships to campaigns....
Oh Lordy. NR and many her at FR have gone off the rails
INCEST is the rule rather than the exception in the District of Corruption. It cannot be avoided.
While water under the bridge, should have been an on air disclosure.
The son of William F. Buckley has decided shock! to vote for a Democrat.
But having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect, President Obama will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren't going to get us out of this pit we've dug for ourselves.
