LET HIM WITHOUT SIN THROW THE FIRST STONE

From an insider I understand that Mayor Holden is not going to sue Scott Wilfong for defamation of character and he is going to let it die.  Apparently he does not want to be deposed himself.

“I think he does protest too much”

The general understanding here, anyway, has been that public figures don’t get anywhere suing for campaign slurs.  It’s the lady, a private citizen, who would have to do it, and of course the downside to that is she immediately makes herself .... a public figure!!  With all of the Jindal ethics gold-standardizing and especially the disclosure regulations, I am convinced that Bottom Line is right when he says that all the slimers had to do was form an LLC and run their business through that to avoid scrutiny.

This has nothing to do with ethics reform.

My guess is Byron “Serial Sexual Harasser” Sharper is behind the whole thing. Kip has no case and if the rumors are true he would really be in a pickle.
