"Did any of y’all hear Gallo this morning?
February 9th, 2009 @ 2:13 pm - by lotus · 39 Comments
My impression is that the folo crowd may be a little light on Paul Gallo listeners, but somebody just called to tell me that on this morning’s show Gallo supposedly said that an “unnamed U.S. Senator” is being indicted in Scruggs II. Did anybody here hear that directly? If so, how did he phrase the whole sentence? What else did he say?
Pretty skinny limb to crawl out on, isn’t it? My caller interprets “unnamed U.S. Senator” to be a currently-sitting one (therefore not Trent Lott, Joe Biden, or Hillary Clinton — but possibly John McCain, I guess). I’m not inclined to narrow it that much myself, but then I’m also not inclined to believe Gallo knows more than anyone else outside the case. Anyhow, just curious whether we have any folo ear-witnesses . ."

My caller didn’t hear the show either but was told about it by a close relative, who quoted “an unnamed U.S. Senator” as Gallo’s exact description of this purported indictee."

Email from Alan Lange:
“FYI. I talked with Gallo. This was not nearly the case. He was openly conjecturing about what would’ve happened had Lott’s favor to DeLaughter paid off in a federal judgeship.”
Thanks, Alan. I’m still hoping for a direct ear-witness . . ."

Jan,
I guess no good deed goes unpunished (yet again). You’d think I’d have learned by now in trying to help you. Though I didn’t expressly ask you not to post my email (as I certainly could’ve just posted the correction), I wrongly assumed you would exercise the discretion of an 8 year old and just fixed your error.
I have no real problem of you quoting me, but leave the context in tact.
Here’s the email . . .
“FYI. I talked with Gallo. This was not nearly the case. He was openly conjecturing about what would’ve happened had Lott’s favor to DeLaughter paid off in a federal judgeship.
My suggestion would be to kill the string, but thought you would at the very least want to correct it.
Alan”
Guess not."

Alan, I don’t understand this chip you’ve got about me, but what-evs."

Funny, Jan. I could say the same thing. Run my name in your search and EVERY REFERENCE from you about me is negative or just snotty in a real junior high school girl sort of way. And not in a “I disagree with you and be cool about it” tone. Tom and I don’t agree on a lot politically, but he’s always been straight up. Hence, no tension between us at all. In fact, quite the opposite. Candidly, I’d encourage him to seek out greener blogging pastures. I think you’d find out incredibly quick who has the real talent on your site. My sense is that he’s too good a guy to do that to you, but if he did, I’d predict about a 70%+ traffic fall off. But I digress.
You seem unable to disagree without being disagreable. I’ll let everyone else decide for themselves. I don’t know what gives. But after all of the time while you were getting started that I helped you and spent substantial time on the phone with you, helping you through tech snags, throwing you (lots of) traffic and exposure and helping you every way I knew how, the petty swipes and personal digs and just candidly the way you carry yourself toward me have just grown real old. That’s especially true because I don’t know the source of your bitterness. I don’t know if you do it to draw personal attention or extra traffic to make a buck, but it’s just old.
Trust me, I have now learned the lesson."

Alan's such a pussy. Who gives good hot damn if Lotus makes snide remarks. What does he expect? Does he not read her drivel? Two fools met and this "food fight" is the result.
