I think the angle will be that the Staples guy was a real jerk, Romney helped the guy, therefore Romney is a real jerk.
You know, another thing that cracks me up here is that Gloria and this ex wife twit are going back to unseal divorce papers so they can try to speak to Mitt Romney’s character. So I guess now the whole country is supposed to sit and listen to this dirty laundry crap about two people we don’t care about and make snap judgments about Romney.
By doing this, it is a loud siren as to characters of Gloria Allred and this woman. Many of Gloria’s fellow attorneys hate her because she is a lowlife.
Today she is proving them correct in assessing her character.
Beware. Allred is scum but isnt stupid. I doubt she would waste her time if there wasnt something about this divorce that makes Romney look really bad. On the bright side it looks like new info on Obama’s lies on Libya should cancel out anything bad on Romney.
(This occurred when her stock was ascending)
During depositions, he revealed that their were some errors in the proceeding filings (I do not recall the details), which meant the claim would be thrown out on a technicality. Allred’s client would lose.
When this became obvious, Allred left the meeting, almost immediately, leaving an assistant to clean up the remains.
The substance of the clients claim was valid (as related to one of the named defendants), but the error made the case a loser. Allred bailed and left the women hanging.
Still not a big Mitt fan (he'll be more RINO than GW Bush... so it's up to us to hammer Congress, and get the Senate), or of the GOP party leadership, but hopefully the kingmakers in the GOP made the right call this time around.
Will some reporter PLEASE ask her if she is headed to Chicago to represent the mother of Donald Young, force the Chicago PD to release phone records relating to the murder, and reopen the yet unsolved murder of her son? After all, Gloria represents women crying out for help.
The Boston Globe was told that the testimony has far more than merely “valuing a business”. They heard that Romney backs Sternberg’s character, in the face of accusations of spousal battery by the ex-wife. She clearly told Allred this, or else Gloria would not have made the trip to Boston. The romney folks should not be so quick to not object. They should simply stay out of it, and let Mr. Sternberg’s lawyers strenuously object, as they are.
Isn’t this interesting? Allred ‘bombshell’ is about a divorce and Trumt’s bombshell is allegedly about Obama’s ‘divorce’,,,are these two situations related? What timing!
This is so wrong! You just can’t make things up to smear people politically.. You can’t just say things like Barney Frank’s apartment used for male prostitution.
Her ex left this woman 20 years ago with 5 million and now she can’t afford her 5K a month apartment
She even had to give away her dog
Mitt, you heartless bastard (SARC)
Gloria Allred you are a disgrace to all women!
This is exactly how Obama became Senator from IL. He had a judge open the sealed divorce records of Obama’s opponent. This ought to be aired on Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly and Levin the minute it happens.
There is no such thing as “sealed” legal affairs when dealing with the Chicago Democrat Mafia.
I was through a divorce 12 years ago and I had a court order to seal the papers. IMHO, it is none of the public’s business to know what kind of assets I have or what happened during the divorce.
I never cared for Gloria Allred. I mean come on her name is ALL...RED... Pretty colors if you like being a communist.
From what we’ve seen it looks like Allred is trying to smear by association. Could be some ugly stuff in the Docs, but not on Romney’s part. But they’ll try to tie Stemberg to Romney since Staples has been a big part of the Romney/Bain success story. Cheap shot. Don’t know if it will play w/ women or not. I could see them doing the faux “boys club” thing to turn women off.
I just checked the Massachusetts Bar website, and checked for Gloria Allred. Well guess what, she just like Elizabeth Warren, is NOT registered in Massachusetts to practice law.
Judge should have continued hearing for 2 weeks so as not to cooperate with this stunt.
Mitt Romney LIED under oath when he testified in the divorce of his good friend and screwed the friend's wife out of a lot of money in the process ... so claims the ex-wife of Staples' founder Tom Stemberg.
Multiple sources connected with the divorce tell TMZ ... during Tom's uber nasty divorce case with ex-wife Maureen, Mitt Romney gave a deposition and testified during the trial that Staples was worth virtually nothing. Romney testified that the company was worth very little and Tom was a dreamer and "the dream continues."
Romney characterized the Staples stock as "overvalued," adding, "I didn't place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company's future."
Partly as a result of Romney's testimony, Maureen got relatively little in the divorce, but we're told just weeks after the divorce ended, Romney and Tom went to Goldman Sachs and cashed in THEIR stock for a fortune. Short story -- Romney allegedly lied to help his friend and screw the friend's wife over.
And there's more ... Our sources say years later, Maureen, who suffered from MS and had multiple bouts with cancer, got a visit from one of Tom's guys, who gave her papers informing her that Tom was cancelling her health insurance. Our sources say the irony here is that we're told Tom was working as one of then Governor Mitt Romney's chief health care advisers.
Sources tell us ... Tom also got custody of the couple's one child, making allegations of abuse against Maureen. And get this ... in the mid-90s, after the divorce, Tom sent the boy a letter saying, although he loved him, because of issues related to the divorce "it will not be possible for you to be a part of our family for the foreseeable future."
Maureen lost her home in the process and struggled financially.

-----------------------------------
Some BIG problems with all this. Maureen received 500,000 shares of Staples, and sold 250,000 before it ever went public. She got a pretty penny for those first shares, and if she kept the rest, they were worth up to $9.6 million in the late 1990s boom. I think you can afford your own health insurance for $10 million. Sheesh, what a crock. Hear that ROAR? That is the sound of 300 million Americans YAWNING.
Obama’s gonna need a bigger October Surprise than this
Excerpt...
The blogger who asked “Should this wealthy executive’s ex wife get more money?” six years ago noted back then that Stemberg had been busy spreading her story all over the web. At Huffington Post someone using the name Maureen Stemberg has been posting her admiration of Obama, her dislike of the Romneys and “Partner in Crime Mr. Staples” plus disdain for Mormonism. A great many voters have experienced firsthand a bitter, vindictive former spouse who won’t let go. They are sorry creatures most people try to avoid. Unless there is a lot more to this latest permutation of the War on Women attack I expect it be draw only slightly more attention than Sandra Fluke’s recent appearance on behalf of Obama.
