Ouch

Remember in 2006 how we had those pretty brutal YouTube ads of dubious origin just before the primary? Well it appears we may have the first one of this season.

And it is not nice to Thurbert.

Whenever you are running in a Democratic primary and you have video of Obama, Sharpton, and Joseph Lowery being critical of you, that isn’t good.

    I’m thinking that might be particularly popular among the aged set somehow. But yeah. Ga. Leg. A-Holes. Redundant. But thanks for the clarification. JMP

    Retroactive oral sex?

    Clarifying a bit.. The Georgia Legislature amended to law to make consensual oral sex (with a four year age gap) a misdemeanor, but they refused to make it retroactive because they’re assholes. Wilson’s relief came through the courts, not the legislature and to Baker’s credit, he didn’t appeal SCOGA’s decision.

    To my knowledge, no. The law has since been ‘corrected’ or ‘improved’ enough that it would not apply as severely to G. Wilson. But they’ve been having enough difficulties with some of the more basic issues of the law anyway. JMP

    Just thinking that would make a very effective spot, especially in the primary. Assuming any one of them would have handled it differently.

    Has anyone asked any of the candidates for AG how they would have handled this case?

    I knew it was coming. And he was between a rock & a hard place there. (No, I’m not going to re- argue the case). But bad cases make bad law. And vice-versa too actually. I think I was there to hear that from Obama too, and I knew it was going to be utilized someplace. JMP
