How appropriate that Kerry should get support from a child molester.

Here's an excerpt from an updated (Jan. 14, 2002) online article on the Milwaukee Journal Online website:

"Consider one other case: Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. The folk-pop trio has enjoyed a family-friendly image for decades, and has even done albums of children's songs. Back in 1970, however, Yarrow pleaded guilty to taking "immoral and improper liberties" with a 14-year-old girl.

According to media reports, the girl and her 17-year-old sister went to Yarrow's hotel room seeking an autograph, and the musician answered the door naked and made a sexual advance that stopped short of intercourse. The 14-year-old victim resisted his advances but did not shout or leave the room.

Yarrow served three months of a one- to three-year prison term. In 1981, he was pardoned by President Jimmy Carter. The singer has acknowledged the incident as "the most terrible mistake I have ever made." Today, it is all but forgotten."

These people cannot be reformed. If they go after children once, they'll probably do it again, no matter what Jimmah Cartah says.

It's good to know he's gotten over it.
