@chalucky @AbeGreenwald Well, as it happens the Democrats rejected Galindo. Unlike Christine O'Donnell, for example--yes, Ds contributed to her campaign. But she won! Because Rs wanted her! But Dems rejected Galindo. Glad you all spent a bunch of money on her though.

@lexetscientia @baseballcrank @rjp1208 Strange, since they were exonerated, and since the city would have had an overriding interest in (1) proving their guilt if it could, and (2) keeping millions of dollars.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@chalucky @AbeGreenwald True enough. But you're confirming she's a Republican plant. The Republicans are outraged--outraged!--at her anti-semitism. The Republicans are also financing her.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@baseballcrank @rjp1208 Except that the equivalence is entirely false. The Central Park 5 weren't suing themselves. They had obviously strong claims against the City. Same for the Native Americans suing the Dept. of Ag. But of course you knew that.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@Cecil1380674 @baseballcrank @rjp1208 Precisely. The Central Park Five and the Native Americans weren't suing themselves!

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@gerardtbaker Precisely. The "Democrats did it" bit is entirely false. The Central Park 5 weren't suing themselves; they had obviously strong cases against the city. The Native Americans also didn't sue themselves; they had strong claims against the govt. that they were aggressively pursuing.

@peterdaou You voted for Jill Stein.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@peterdaou And you will get what you deserve with Trump.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@JimmyJ4thewin You mean for Trump.

@LRB @piercepenniless It’s a little under 1800 words—too long for a letter. I’ll send it in to [email protected] and you all can see if you’re interested. Thanks.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@piercepenniless @LRB Many thousands of deaths resulted. I think it would be an interesting short column, that follows from one small part of your piece. May I send it to you? Not looking for payment; I just think the LRB (to which I subscribe) might find it of interest. Thanks.

@piercepenniless @LRB Mr. Butler, thanks for this powerful piece. I am a U.S. lawyer that litigated against American Celotex decades ago. The report’s statement that “the dishonest and cynical way in which RS 5000 was tested and marketed reflected a culture within Celotex stretching back to /1

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@piercepenniless @LRB at least 2009” drew a rueful laugh from me. I’ve written a little piece about how American Celotex had displayed precisely the same attitude toward users of its own insulation products, and indeed its own workers, for many decades. /2

@batcountry1980 Wes.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@NTarnopolsky @nirhasson @israelpolice @IsraelCourts Jeez this is awful.

[Charles Siegel @csiegel28]

@charlescwcooke But she’s not wrong either.

@Oysterband1 Will you be coming to the U.S. as part of this last tour?

@AndrewCMcCarthy Now do Aileen Cannon.
