...maybe he should have justed pulled a Foley--rehab, say a priest groped him, etc..



NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a statement
of Craig Schelske, husband of Sara Evans:
Sara and our three children are the most important people in my life. I
have made the decision to forgive Sara for the unfortunate campaign that
she and her publicity advisors are currently waging.
I adamantly deny the allegations that are being made.
As distressing as it is to have to communicate about this matter
publicly, Sara has unfortunately become a dramatically different person
over the last year and it is something we have struggled to deal with.
Sadly, it appears we have failed.
The best I can do at this difficult time is ask that people of faith
would pray for her and for my family.
My greatest concern is for my children and the irreparable harm they
are at risk of facing. As such, I will have no further comment on this
matter outside of a courtroom.

1. He's forgiving HER? Oh this is so Republitrash

what a fucking pig.

[blitzen]

2. looks like CBN has already scrubbed their "Faith and Country Music"

feature on Sara Evans/Craig Schelske

...i just found out that this Freep is from my home town (Salem, Or) and roughly my age...i had the good fortune of not knowing him

[SaveOurDemocracy]

3. huh?? he forgot to blame Clinton...

what's up with THAT? :rofl:

[ribrepin]

10. Give him some time

I'm sure he'll remember that all things are clinton's fault.

[Judi Lynn]

22. Clinton clouded his mind!

[Superman Returns]

4. ummm

can someone explain what happened futher?

[Suich]

6. Here's an article:

:hi:

[tavalon]

5. Explain further please

Heck, having had a family member fall into a borderline crazy zone and begin to hurl the craziest accusations, I could see his point, except that I suspect I don't have the whole story. Right?

[Suich]

8. It's only on the news because she was a contestant on

"Dancing With the Stars" and just dropped out. There's an article up thread.


:hi:

[hlthe2b]

29. and because Tom Delay lobbied Freepers to vote for her

(the "Family Values" contestant) over the "horrible" Jerry Springer. I had no intentions of watching, but you know what-- I'm glad I did.

The irony is so delicious... Jerry, very up in years comparatively, and clearly no "natural" dancer, worked himself crazy in order to learn to dance the waltz for his beloved daughter on her wedding day... When he did that dance-- with her in the audience watching proudly-- he had everyone teary eyed, myself included. Then he managed to stay the following week and did one of the latin dances with so much showmanship and obvious fun, he had one of the judges saying that HE was the contestant that they most looked forward to each week. I dare say, Springer showed more "family values" than any of those damned RWers.

Springer may have hosted a show that many could be forgiven for disparaging, and I've been critical of him on the radio, given his tendency to be overly "forgiving" of obvious FREEPER callers, but I have to give him kudos. He really is a decent guy as he has shown to all the "Tom Delay-supporting" hippocrits in the world.

9. yeah, it could be...

but the dude is a freeper extraordinaire so i would give the benefit of the doubt to his wife

17. She's a freeper, too.

I feel sorry for her and I don't wish this kind of shit on anyone but she's definitely a freeper.

[Goat or Panic]

7. Repub Family Values

Sara "Great American" Evans should've spent less time worrying about other people's marriages and spent more time dealing with her own. Tell me again Sara, why shouldn't gay people be allowed to get married?

[tuvor]

11. I'm sorry to have read this.

This is so none of my business.

[bluestateguy]

12. Um, I'm sorry why is this woman famous?

Is she famous for being special, or special for being famous?

[LTR]

16. Country singer

with bodacious ta-tas.

:evilgrin:

[Faux pas]

13. With all that crap going on, no wonder the poor woman could

barely muster a smile. Very sad.

[Hepburn]

14. They are both Repukes...

...so how can you figure out which one is lying?

:shrug:

[montana500]

15. lol wel....

One is a politican, the other is a talentless, cookie-cutter nu-coutry hack. Both are full of shit obviously.

[never_get_over_it]

28. Well I think it would be pretty simple

one of her accusations is that there were at least 100 photos of him in an aroused state on their pc - so the pictures are either there or not - and I suspect if they are there then we know who is lying...and I suspect that Sara probably had to prove this to her lawyers before they added it to the complaint - so I'm thinking Sara is probably telling the truth - of course I suppose it is possible that Sara put the pictures on the pc - but some how I doubt it

on edit:

Also this has got to be SO COMPLETELY humiliating for Sara - why would she lie?

[Hepburn]

30. Well....

For many, many years and far too long, I practiced law in the area of family law. Here is an example of what goes on:

One day in the court where initial orders are granted, a couple was in front of the judge ~~ each one representing him/herself. If he said "up," she said "down." And so it went with DIRECTLY opposing stories and answers to each question which the judge asked them. Now if attorneys had been involved, the judge could have never done what he did when confronted with this situation...which was to throw his hands up in the air and order them to go directly to the police department to submit to lie detector tests. He then ordered the court reporter to prepare a copy of the transcript to be sent for the examiner to use in asking questions, the judge then continued the hearing and ordered the parties back when the lie detector test results would be available to the court.

Well, the couple came back to court with the results of the lie detectors tests and, guess what? It came out, according to the tests, that BOTH of them were telling the truth. Each so sincerely believed what he/she was saying about the other party, that they BOTH passed their tests.

Point of the story: In a messy divorce case, the truth usually is somewhere between the extremes of what both sides are saying.

And...trust me...when it comes to a messy divorce, neither side is hesitant about saying the worst possible things about the other side. The issue of humiliation does NOT enter into that formula...unfortunately.

[never_get_over_it]

31. Wow that is an interesting story

but I really have to give the credibility edge to Sara - the photos either exist or they don't. Also if this was just a case of a messy divorce I think she would have waited until her appearance with DWS was over - this timing assures MAXIMUM public exposure and I can't see any woman putting herself through this unless she really had no choice which in this case was most likely to protect her children from their unfortunately VERY FREAKY father.

Really too bad Tom Delay sent out the email for folks to vote for her - as she should have been voted off weeks ago for her dancing skills - that would have minimized the publicity a tad....

[Hepburn]

33. In a messy divorce...

...if there are minor children involved, about 99% of the time, the children become the battleground because of no-fault divorce. There is usually ONLY the ground "irreconcilible differences" or some similar version available as a legal basis to terminate the marriage. (Yes, in some states there is insanity...but that is a whole 'nother discussion.)

When there is the issue of the custody of minors, in my experience, that is where the "dirt" now comes out because it cannot come out as the legal grounds for terminating the marriage. Soooooo...and very unfortunately...the issue of who is the "good" parent causes some very ugly litigation in which both of the parties usually prove that he/she is not a very good parent. We used the term "LDA" a lot in these cases as to who should get custody of the children. Please note: This was not said to a client, but the judges were very aware of this. LDA stands for "least detrimental alternative." The parents were not bad enough to remove the children to foster care, but both sure did not have the best interests of the children in mind when they set out to destroy the other parent. I found it clearly and often to be a situation where one or both of them was looking for a "pound of flesh" from the other because of anger that had NOTHING to do with the quality of parenting of the other spouse.

Sad, huh?

So as far as who is telling the truth in this the Evan's case??? Both, IMO, are most likely stretching any facts to the max. There are, IMO again, things going on in the background and that is what is influencing the stances taken by each. They clearly appear to be ANGRY and striking out. So, IMO, take what either side says with a HUGE grain of salt. But...that is just my opinion. I frankly do not believe her anymore than I believe him. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle of what these two idiots are spewing.

:hi:

[Chomskyite]

18. What a PR genius this guy is.

He's going against one of America's country singer sweethearts with this weak shit? And he thinks it'll fly?

Man, what is he smoking?

[tanyev]

25. Yeah, good luck with that.

Nobody is going to believe him.

[Pachamama]

19. I bet she got copies of the files on his computer, his photos & craiglists

...yeah, he can wait for his further comment on this matter - not...

How much do you want to bet he will try to settle this matter quickly and not have it get dragged out in court... :eyes:

[President Jesus]

20. Let's be clear. It's not just the husband who's a freeper

Sara Evans is most definitely "one of them" as well. Here's a list of her political donations: http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/Sara_Evans.php

[UnityDem]

21. That money she gave was

to her (soon to be "former") husband's REpub political campaign and his REpub PAC. Wonder if she now wants her money back?
:shrug:

I posted about this with a link in GDPolitics.

[displacedtexan]

23. From Sara's divorce allegations:

# Keeps over 100 obscene pictures of himself on his computers
# Keeps several photographs of himself having sex with other women
# Solicited various types of sexual activity over the internet through Craigslist
# Frequently threatened and verbally abused her
# Watched "pornographic material" in front of one of their young children
# Would not let a "Dancing with the Stars" costume designer into their home because he is a "sodomite"
# Said that one of their young children "broke out in hives because he saw the costume designer who is a 'sodomite'"
# "Refused to let (their) children go to a performance to hear their mother sing The Star Spangled Banner"

24. A Republican lying?

Surely no. I'm shocked. Really.

[susu369]

26. I'm sure The Vice and Lynne are praying for her

www.ofsonline.org/news-from-craig-schelske.htm

"In November 2003, Sara and I were invited to attend, and for Sara to perform for honored guests at Vice President and Mrs. Cheney’s residence in Washington, D.C. It was truly an honor and Oregon was well represented with me, Sara, and Casey Pollack (band member/Bend, Oregon).

Needless to say, Sara was a huge hit and I am told by staffers that she is now the “personal favorite” of the Cheney’s."

[LibDemAlways]

27. "I adamantly deny the allegations

that are being made."

Sounds like repuke doublespeak to me. Deny them all you want to, freeptard. Refuse to assume responsibility.

Note he never says "The allegations are false." He only says he's "denying" them. One thing there's no denying is that this guy is a typical repuke hypocritical asshole.

[Annces]

32. People play dirty in divorce matters

She may be making some things up.

[B Calm]

34. I wonder if she wasn't screwing her dance instructor....
