Beverly Harbin and Galen Fox -- here's hoping for a one-two punch...

that just might bring Lingle down next November and make Hawaii 100% true blue again... but the way the media tends to do these things, they will kiss Lingle's butt and the only way this especially can hurt her is part of a "death by a thousand cuts" kind of thing...

1. Here we go! Lingle knew about Fox's arrest yet said nothing

nor did she encourage him to resign from the Leg. until after he was convicted.

Ooooh, this is getting good! Pass the popcorn... :popcorn:

Fox said yesterday he had told Lingle privately about his arrest almost immediately after it happened on an early morning last December, when United Airlines Flight 56 landed from an overnight trip from Honolulu. He also called Lingle's office shortly after his Oct. 20 conviction and later scheduled a meeting with the governor and Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona for Monday.

Fox said yesterday he knew the information would eventually come out, especially after his conviction, but he had no idea when. With the news media about to report the story on Monday, Fox said he talked with Lingle and Aiona about what he should do and the governor suggested that, while it was ultimately his choice, he should resign.

"In my heart I know I didn't do it but I'm increasingly understanding that I am guilty," Fox said.

Fox was reluctant to discuss any of the details of his conviction, but insisted he only touched his accuser on the arm for reasons he could not explain. The 27-year-old woman has not been publicly identified and has told federal prosecutors she does not want to talk about the incident with the media.

"In my heart I know I didn't do it but I'm increasingly understanding that I'm guilty"?! Imagine if a Democrat -- Bill Clinton, say -- had said that. OxyMoron and O'Really? and Insannity and the others would tear him to pieces!

By the way, how come the news-starved local media sat on this for over a week even after Fox's conviction? Bear in mind this is a place where a missing hiker can dominate the headlines for days!
