The Speaker is not the only legislative leader who has some exposure to this type of thing. Politics is Hollywood for ugly people and most of these average-looking men would not get a second glance from an attractive woman were it not for the political power they wield, but I must admit, I look forward to seeing the photos in the AJC, if they exist. My bet is that he likes blondes.

Do you know that the AJC has intended to make this story a hit piece? Or is it easier to scream "bias" and try to kill the messenger? Perhaps the AJC figured a Sunday printing would allow for greater readers and thus, more money, rather than we will just try to take down Speaker Richardson.

Or are you refering to the traditional definition which would mean he could care less about what goes on in our bedrooms and is more of a fiscal hawk?

All sources say the AJC has some photographs of the Speaker — wholly personal in nature and not at all related to the performance of his duties in office — but, because it is Glenn Richardson, his personal life is public it seems.

We should not hold him to a lower measure than Bill Clinton or Max Cleland, now, should we? The impending firestorm and suspicions that the AJC will wait to pounce might just prompt a preemptive challenge to the Speaker. Why can't our leaders find some element of self control and RESTRAIN THEMSELVES? It becomes clearer every day why government is totally unconstrained and out of control. They PARTY on, forgetting the people who send them, preferring one or two who send them allright - send them over the edge.

These rumors have compared the Speaker to J. Edgar Hoover. The Speaker has been using his own set of photos and secret files for years. It only seems fair that someone treats him the same way. In public. Anyway, I just wanna see the pictures. Wooohooooo! I’ve heard rumors.
