John Fund Goes On Trial

July 12, 2006 —NEW YORK (apj.us)—The civil trial of conservative pundit John Fund on charges of abusing former girlfriend Morgan Gell (née Morgan F. Pillsbury) is under way.

A source close to the case has told American Politics Journal that a final attempt to arbitrate the matter yesterday morning failed; jury selection began yesterday and was completed this morning.

3. He'll Still Be A Well Paid Pundit...
You think a little conviction is going to stop the networks from paying him and portraying him as reputable?

He'll probably get a raise.

Fund would fit in perfectly with that rogue's gallery: Ollie, Bill "Loofax" O'Reilly, Bob "I sabotaged a CIA counetrproliferation op like a traitor" Novak...

FOX

4. He's Getting A Raise!
Well....I'm speculating, but it stands to reason that he'll be rewarded somehow. Perhaps a post in the current administration.

9. Yet he & countless other offenders have no trouble getting on the airwaves
Edited on Thu Jul-13-06 12:35 PM by UTUSN
Another of those eternal questions (like, why-would-ANY-minority-be-a-wingnut):

If any of us had offenses on our record, it would be nearly impossible to get a job, yet why are jerks like this and countless others ubiquitous on the air, often sermonizing on ethical or moral issues? (Edited to put in the form of a question)

FUND. BENNETT. BARNICLE. MORRIS. NORTH. LIDDY. O'LOOFAH. LIMBOsevic. Not to mention the scores of RAYGUN-Poppy alumni currently still sinking this ship of state.
