Here is little background, the author Deal Hudson was removed as editor of Crisis magazine a few years back. He is an adult convert to Catholicism. I think he is on his third marriage or so.

The problem was he got caught in a public place groping a female college student. It was at a bar and everyone was drinking. Yes, he was a still married middle aged man. There was a thread on it on FR. The rumor was he has a problem with this type of behavior. He disappeared for a time and it appears he has resurfaced.

That is seriously ugly stuff. I suspect it reveals more about the character of the gossiper than it does the character of Mr. Hudson.

Given that not a word of your post has anything remotely to do with the factual content presented about Romney in this article, it seems that you have posted this disparaging gossip for no other objectively valid purpose than to smear the author's reputation and character; and so by association hope to undermine the credibility of the facts presented in the article.

Even if what you allege, and more ("Psst! A little background: He was secretly married a farm animal"), were true, it does not change the facts as claimed in the article. They are either true or they are not. The sordid gossip you hurl about the author cannot change the truth.
