The average citizen doesn't know Pelosi. He doesn't know who the Speaker is now. HE just knows he wants to vote "Democrat" to "clean house." He doesn't understand that the Democrat house is tainted.

That news conference was something, wasn't it? I bet it was the same one I saw on KOTV Channel 6, (if you were watching 9...I believe they are "sister stations".)

When Istook blamed the blogger for outting "an innocent victim", it just really irritated us (my husband and I). We thought the blogger did a real good job of making the point quickly that this was no innocent victim.

No, you misunderstood. The kid had a BMW but couldn't drive it because he had no license. What he had was a driver with a Mercedes that chauferred him to the bars and back.

Looks like Edmund's lawyer will be yanking all the website reporting on the non-scandal.

Passionate America: Stephen Jones Demands I pull the Jordan Edmund Story


I got this email yesterday:
Dear William Kerr and Passionate America:

Please be advised that I represent Jordan Edmund. It is our understanding that you and Passionate American are identifying Mr. Edmund with certain Instant Messages ("IMs"). You have indicated that ABC News mistakenly published these alleged Ims and that you should not have been able to obtain this information. Whether this is true or not is beside the point. Without any foundation or legal permission, you are stating that our client is the person associated with the Ims. Neither ABC News nor Brian Ross have been error free in their reporting in the past. You should not assume that they are correct now. Like all individuals and institutions, they occasionally make mistakes. Therefore, I respectfully demand that you cease any further efforts to identify our client with these alleged Ims and cease publishing such information on Passionate America. Neither you nor Passionate American is authorized to use any photograph of him, his name or his personal information. You should consult with an attorney who is experienced in civil and criminal liability regarding the internet. If you are correct that ABC News should not have released the alleged AOL screen name and that ABC News has risked civil and criminal liability because of the unauthorized release, then your republication of the unauthorized release likewise exposes you to possible liability.

Sincerely,

Stephen Jones JONES, OTJEN, DAVIS, NIXON & JUHL 114 E. Broadway, Suite 1100 P.O. Box 472 Enid, Oklahoma 73702 (580) 242-5500 (580) 242-4556 (fax) sjones@stephenjoneslaw.com
So I have contacted some of the people I have met in the past few days for advice. My view on this is I have already published the story many people have put this on their websites also. Much of the main stream media has put the story out. The cat is out of the bag. Is Stephen Jones going to send these emails out to thousands of people? I believe I have done nothing wrong legally, until I hear different from people smarter than me I am going to treat this as a threat and leave everything on the website. I could use your help; do you know anyone that can help me? Send me an email."


If you want to archive the contents of this blog before it disappears, better do it now. The same applies to Macsmind and others that have done reporting on this. After they all get cease-and-desist letters and are forced to pull their content, Google and the other search engines will be scrubbed as well.

Do you think that Jordan Edmund is a conservative, straight Republican like his friend said yesterday????

Since when do lawyers use email for their official cease-anddesist correspondence?

Could he be deliberately throwing his own election?

I don't think Istook is being blackmailed...I think he thought Chris Wilson was a friend and went with his recomendation of Chip Englander, 25, ....for who Wilson said was one of the best campaign managers, yet today he couldn't name ONE campaign he worked on!! Wilson has PUNKED Istook!!

That is not a cease-and-desist. That is just the quick first try at getting the content offline though you'll notice no promise that Wild Bill won't get sued even if he pulls it down immediately. The implication is that if the site owner doesn't remove it now, it could be worse for him later in civil court. Notice the threat of civil action against both Wild Bill and ABC.

He probably filed the cease-and-desist and mailed it Friday (yesterday). So Wild Bill will receive it on Monday. If he doesn't pull it down on Monday, the lawyer will file papers against Blogspot as well. Blogspot will then remove the content or it will be liable in the suit that will by then include ABC and Wild Bill.

Damned lawyers.

I know that Istook is a likely loser. Is his Mormonism a factor, do you think?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jones once run as the Republican candidate against Senator Boren because no other Republican had the gall to step forward and run a certain-loser campaign?

What issues (2 or 3) can Istook use against Henry? Why isn't he using them?
