What? Like a cop shouldn't hide child rape?

Out here in Oregon the Blue Goo just keeps getting deeper. Multnomah County Sheriff Bernie Giusto has finally admitted that he knew, at least as far back as 1989, about Neil Goldschmidt's repeated rape of a 14-year-old girl -- why, that's just an "affair", right? -- while he was mayor of Portland. The girl was messed up for life, but the Blue Crew just kept it all quiet. And their buddy Neil just kept on running political plays in Oregon and Washington, DC, until the rape finally became public a while back.

One can only hope that the Goo will finally stick to the shoes of all the criminals in this tragedy. I can't even begin to count all the unindicted crimes in Goldschmidt's past, not to mention the conspiracy to cover it all up, because there is simply no way Goldschmidt didn't have help keeping the lid on. Pity some of those Blue-nosers didn't help him keep his PANTS on, instead.

Now Giusto has had to admit getting some of that Blue Goo on his shoes. Is it too much to suggest that there might be some on Governor Kulongoski's shoes, too? And how about President Carter, who hired Neil as Secretary of Transportation? Anybody going to suggest that an investigation for a high-level administration security clearance wouldn't have spotted such a vulnerability? Well, it's a big pile of goo. Plenty to go around, and it sure stinks.

That child-rape/conspiracy goo is pretty tough to scrub off, even if you are part of the everything-consensual-is-OK party. But I'm not whining. I'm just not going to forget it, either.
