Is that really necessary, DP?

Even I get tired of the "Southern folks are dumb rednecks" trope.

Just sayin'

Luther Strange sounds like it could be the name of a superhero or supervillian. Really it could fit either way.

Roy Moore has been threatening to sue media outlets reporting on the story for defamation. When I first heard this, I thought that he was just doubling down on his "fake news" strategy. But the letter his lawyer wrote is so incoherent that I'm not convinced it resulted from any conscious thought whatsoever. A few choice quotes, with exactly as much helpful context as the letter itself provides:

Trenton R. Garmon wrote:Your client as an entity has also carelessly and perhaps allowed general slander and libel to the reputation of my clients by seeking out, and/or reporting from those who did, individuals who falsely portray the reputation of Roy S. Moore in northeast Alabama, to include Etowah County.


Meaning your client has used terms in reports or carelessly which has falsely portraying our clients.


Thus, do note clearly, yet significant difference which your client's publication(s) have failed to distinguish.


This may be par for the course for this lawyer. From his bio on his law firm's website:

While at Troy University he started on their college football team as the center. This team played both Miami and Nebraska being the only team in the country to play the national champions and the runner up national champions in the same year. Some experts consider the 2001 Miami Hurricanes [Avi's Note: the team he played against, not on] to be the greatest college football team in history.


He was born in Gadsden, Alabama, June 16, 1979 and is admitted to the Alabama State Bar and the United States Federal Court Middle District. [Avi's Note: the name of the latter court here is nonsense, and refers to no actual court]


I have no idea how someone like this gets admitted to law school, much less ends up working for a state supreme court justice.

His lawyer made some pretty racist comments trying to defend him.

Garmon: Sure, that’s a good question. Culturally speaking, obviously there’s differences—looked up Ali’s background there. Wow—that’s awesome that you’ve got such a diverse background. That’s really cool to read through that. But point is—


Ruhle: What does Ali’s “background have to do with dating a 14 year old?


Garmon: I’m not finished with the context of it. Point of this is—


Ruhle: Please answer. What does Ali Velshi’s background have to do with dating children, 14 year old girls?


Garmon: Sure. In other countries, there’s arrangement through parents, for what we would refer to as consensual marriage.


Ruhle: Ali’s from Canada.

So is dating 14 yr olds cool now? I mean I was alright with nazis becoming mainstream cause he they have nice uniforms and the guy they worshipped made great comedy films, but I don't know if I can get behind adults dating 14 year olds.

Depends on the circumstances. My parents started dating when my mother was 14 and my father was 21. They dated for four years, then they got married, had four kids and over 30 years later they're still together.

However, my father wasn't prowling the mall looking for teen girls to hit on, like Roy Moore. He's a shy and reserved man; my mother told me that she pursued him, not the other way around.

But did he get your grandmother's permission to date your mom?

Well, yeah, probably. My mother was living with her parents at the time, she also needed permission to go on dates.

In Roy Moore news, a woman named Gena Richardson, said that after she didn't give Moore her phone number at the mall, he called her high school and asked for her. She was 18 at the time.

A few days later, she says, she was in trigonometry class at Gadsden High when she was summoned to the principal’s office over the intercom in her classroom. She had a phone call.

“I said ‘Hello?’” Richardson recalls. “And the male on the other line said, ‘Gena, this is Roy Moore.’ I was like, ‘What?!’ He said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m in trig class.’ ”

Richardson says Moore asked her out again on the call. A few days later, after he asked her out at Sears, she relented and agreed, feeling both nervous and flattered. They met that night at a movie theater in the mall after she got off work, a date that ended with Moore driving her to her car in a dark parking lot behind Sears and giving her what she called an unwanted, “forceful” kiss that left her scared.

“I never wanted to see him again,” says Richardson, who is now 58 and a community college teacher living in Birmingham.
