Woeful
Is the only way to describe today’s ODE editorial. Former Democratic Governor [note how I actually make mention of his party the way big media has not been] raped a 14-year-old girl in 1975, and that makes him a bad person. That’s right folks, Neil Goldschmidt is human filth and garbage. In addition to committing rape in the third degree, Goldschmidt apparently led a life of infidelity. So he has sex with children and he cheats on his wife, yet the ODE thinks it’s important that we remember all the good he’s done over the years? Give me a goddamn break.
Remember Former Republican Senator Bob Packwood’s trouble keeping his lecherous old hands off of his female staff? Was there a call to remember his years of noble public service? No, Packwood was quickly and rightly condemned for acting in such a manner. Goldschmidt should be treated in the same way, condemned and tossed on the scrap heap of history.
As much as I like and respect the Emerald editorial board this year, they really dropped the ball on this one, and might want to reconsider making similar statements in the future lest they find themselves defending even more unscrupulous characters.
