Right Thinking From The Left Coast
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti

Jackpot!

You know, it’s stories like this that make me think there’s a God.

Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years.

Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted “God Talk,” a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station’s charity drives.

A child molesting left-wing Catholic priest from San Francisco.  It’s like hitting the blog trifecta.

From the article:

“His hopes of maintaining a defense based on a constitutional right to research taboo subjects appeared to be weakened further when police in Oakdale (Stanislaus County) released transcripts in February of a series of online sex chats between Ward and a dominatrix in December 2004 and January 2005.

The transcripts quote Ward as fantasizing about naked children with no apparent reference to any subject he was researching. Police said he had sent photos to the woman that showed children engaged in sexual activity.”

The KGO personalities were initially tripping over themselves in defense of this POS saying it was just for research. Like rats deserting a sinking ship, they all are now spouting ,"I always thought he was a little odd”.

What?  No drugs?

C’mon - there surely must have been a few pills or hits of acid lying around....

Good one Lee, you crack me up.

Hey, did you ever listen to Gene Burns on KGO in the evening?  Man, I miss him out here on the East coast.  He’s the best radio talk show host I’ve heard, amazing guy.  He was a key note speaker at a Cato event in SF a while back which made for a really great day.
