..had the District Attorney been kept in the dark by the now-fired Assistant D.A., it might have remained covered up....

I find that *really* hard to believe, Tommy.

Think about it. Too many people knew. The bloke who took the mug shot. The camera crew at the Burger King. The assistant DA, the assistant DA's boyfriend...matter of fact, a good question is, why didn't this come out earlier? Who wanted the lid kept on it, until the optimum time?

Ritter is nothing more than a self-aggrandizing twit who is doing his very best to become as controversial as possible. His prior life as a Major and U.N. inspector makes him no more of an expert on foreign policy than you or me or any other person with an opinion.

He has thrust himself in the limelight continously in an effort to promote his own agenda. Consequently, he is fair game for every possible political attack which may come his way.
