I actually said I thought she had a case. She did not publish the OJ book in isolation, and that part of what she's saying I get. <BR/><BR/>It's the side-issue of Regan, her love affair with Kerik, Kerik's connection with Rudy, and this unnamed executive's supposed threats to Regan that I'm questioning. I don't think it strengthens her case legally, so I ask myself, "Why is it there?" <BR/><BR/>We all can guess. I think my guess is correct, but it's still just a guess. I've been around PR long enough and have followed her career long enough to know that she is a smart PR lady, smart marketer, and by inserting this allegation in the lawsuit, she has effectively flipped the script. The disgraceful decision to publish the OJ book, which is the core of her suit, is in paragraph 10. <BR/><BR/>Is her charge relating to Kerik and Guiliani believable? Is it legitimate? I have my doubts. But no question, it was a brilliant PR move. <BR/><BR/>You got fooled by it, for example. Although, frankly, you don't set a very high bar. Any bad thing someone says about a politician you don't like, you immediately believe and begin to argue for as if it's a fact.<BR/><BR/>But she's also taken in most of the mainstream media, if you look at the headlines the suit is getting. <BR/><BR/>I'll bet she's already planning a book on it. It'll sell millions. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Yes, the OJ book has been published. You know the story, right? Murdoch's company gave up the rights, the father of one of OJ's victims secured the rights in court, and now he's published it as a way of getting some of the money he's owed from his civil suit against OJ. The new cover of the book deemphasizes the "if" in "If I Did It." <BR/><BR/>It proves, I guess, that Regan was right. You could make money selling more OJ bullshit to the public. The question was appropriateness and taste, not whether it was a profitable idea.John Stodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185881995621265497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-80831352875057486252007-11-14T22:13:00.000-06:002007-11-14T22:13:00.000-06:00Stoddard / Rev:McCain, Romney Slam Rudy Over Alleg...Stoddard / Rev:<BR/><BR/>McCain, Romney Slam Rudy Over Allegations That News Corp Protected HimLuckyoldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489310035114843752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-30632916503508435062007-11-14T21:50:00.000-06:002007-11-14T21:50:00.000-06:00rev says: "Chris, you've assumed not only (a) that...rev says: "Chris, you've assumed not only (a) that Regan is telling the truth about being strong-armed .."<BR/><BR/>And YOU base it NOT happening...on WHAT?Luckyoldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489310035114843752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-56840206336093048992007-11-14T21:46:00.000-06:002007-11-14T21:46:00.000-06:00Jeff,I could care less what you think.

It occurs to me that I wouldn't put up with someone like you in real life, I would have popped you in the mouth long ago. <BR/>You add nothing to the conversation. You refuse to support any position. You refuse to give any reason why someone else's position is wrong. <BR/>You misrepresent, you're dishonest in your arguments and you throw insults and charges from the safety of your anonymous id. <BR/> You just fling poo hoping you get some on the carpet.
