A Non-PFC Related Topic, But Also Filled With Flimflam and Chicanery
Just a little plug for the paper I’m currently interning at:
Turns out there were several people, including some at the Oregonian that knew about former state governor Neil Goldschmidt’s inappropriate relationship with his kids’ babysitter. Most found out or heard rumors about the “affair” years after Goldschmidt stopped meeting with the 14-year-old girl, and most didn’t tell the press (or write about it themselves, if they were at the Oregonian).
It’s interesting to read about all the figures, some still involved in high levels of local politics, who may have known all about what happened when Goldschmidt was Portland’s mayor.
I like the Oregonian and all, but this isn’t exactly breaking news. When the story broke a couple of months back, I don’t think that the Oregonian claimed that they were exclusively knowledgeable about the Golden Jew’s sexcapades The bottom line is that some people knew, but hey, it was the 70’s, when lots of dudes were having sex with underagers. Hell, if Neil lived in Hawaii, it wouldn’t have been illegal.
