"The other three "victims" were asked to resign, have refused, and threatened to sue."

I would think that if you are asked to resign and don't you might well expect to be fired. Only if they are in a union (unlikely) or have a written contract (not unlikely) would firing those folks be difficult.

Now, to the topic at hand. I must give kudos to these Baltimore Sun writers for finally recounting this story in a straightforward manner so I finally understand what happened. I don't think they portray FR in an unflattering manner, considering where they are coming from.

My question: is the guy, O'Malley, right? having an affair or not? Is that still unsubstantiated?

It was never established as a fact that Rudi Giuliani had an affair with Christine Legatano (I might have mangled her name a bit) but the rumors persisted. You must remember that gossip, conservative, she was like, head of the tourism office or something like that.

Yes, I remember the persistent Giuliani-Lategano rumors. No, I don't remember Rudolph Giuliani calling a press conference to whine about the rumors the day after making disparaging remarks about something (say - equating Bush's budget cuts to 9/11).

The Baltimore Sun has gone ballistic on the O'Malley/NCPAC story today. Four or five stories, 1 column. I've posted some directly and mentioned others on the main thread.

You're right that this article isn't totally offensive. They're still dead wrong that this website was responsible for their newspaper printing the O'Malley allegations. We didn't make them do anything.

I've seen no actual proof that O'Malley has had an affair. Just a bunch of rumors and innuendo. But I'm a New Yorker and haven't been following this story at all until this week.
