Reply #41: Boston Herald article asking why - when the ghostwriter was writing this - Brown was with Perry

[karynnj]

His point is the one that Tay Tay made. Question is this to get that out and fought now - long before the election or is he as genuinely offended as he seems. (Also - when was the fact that a book was written by a ghost writer given this much coverage?)

The article really hits a nerve with the way it is written - and you can see that in the comments. The Republican response is basically Teddy killed a woman, Barney Frank, Gerry Studds, Keating likely paid Allen etc None of which deal with the facts. One point made is that Brown was telling the ghostwriter this story at the time he was defending Perry.

That really is a sickening point. According to Brown, this is the first time he ever told anyone of a dark, emotionally scarring part of his life. One would think that would be highly emotional and his sensitivity to anyone fearing he/she would not be believed when they told people they were abused would be incredibly heightened - as he just somewhat relived that in telling his writer.
