Oh dear


In happier times: Casseday (right) with NRA president Wayne La Pierre

Dateline -- northeast Washington, cradle of the Washington Times and thus regional epicenter of family values. Randall Casseday, the paper's human resource director, has just been nabbed on the allegation of e-mailing pictures of his "love organ" to a cop he mistook for a bathing beauty aged 13, with whom he planned to meet.

Sources at the paper are telling reporter Max Blumenthal that Casseday's role at the Times was that of human broom for sexual harassment complaints. Among the most sensational were claims directed at editor Fran Coombs, who is also quoted in Max's Nation story as the newsroom's outspoken commentator on race, his sensibilities wounded by the "niggerfication of America." Coombs is still on the payroll of Reverend Moon, who is compared to Martin Luther King by his followers.

Previously, Casseday worked at the Messiah's pistol company, Kahr Arms.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
