Cuz nobody will care and it looks desperate.
So now it starts...
barry took his best shot against romney and it didnt work. This race is over
This is more ludicrous than Binders.
Gasp!!!
Like I posted earlier..ALL divorce cases are ugly..this one sounds equally as ugly..you have the scorned ex wife who is bitter for revenge..I really really doubt that if this guy knew that his wife had slept with Mitt Romney that he would still be best buddies with him and speak at the GOP Convention telling everyone to vote for him. For God’s sake Mitt Romney doesn’t even drink caffeinated beverages. This whole story is laughable..people testify in divorce cases every single day, Romney took the side of his friend, this woman is just a scorned POS
“Romney, Stemberg and Maureen were all served papers by the Globe notifying them that the paper was trying to unseal the case and lift the gag order enforced on all parties.”
So the Globe is the one who wants to look at the documents.
I wish someone would have tried to get the tape of Obama and the Terrorist from the LA times released how come no one has done that? Oh my gosh what if that is what Trump has
Of course, if his style always translated to money in the bank for his female clients, only their fat-cat husbands would complain. But that's not always the case. Take Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, the ex-wife of Staples founder Tom Stemberg. They divorced in 1987, and, in the settlement, she received nearly 500,000 shares of Staples stock, reportedly valued at $2.25 per share. Problem was, Staples went public two years later - at $19 per share - after she had unloaded nearly half her stock. She hired Inker to get her what she thought she deserved. The divorce grew into a decade-long mess, breathlessly retold on the front page of The Wall Street Journal in 1997. "I hired Monroe because he was supposed to be the best," Maureen Stemberg says now. "They had Tom and I go after each other, and it was like, sit back and watch the money roll in." She says she only met with Inker three times, despite the $3 million she estimates she paid his firm. Inker says his colleague handled the case. Maureen Stemberg says Inker's female clients are vulnerable. "He meets with them. He says, `Oh, you poor thing, your poor kids. Oh, my God,' and he doesn't even know their name. . . . He calls me the Staples lady," she says, then adds her experience with Inker's firm was atypical of her dealings with lawyers. After losing her case in 1994, she sued Inker and his colleagues for malpractice, a case that was eventually dismissed.
Ann better make cookies and get on the talk shows and say HOW much she loves her husband and stands by him after the flowers affair...ALA hillery! Plus someone on our team better bring up Edwards adulterous love affair that the mediaPIGS refused to report on when Edwards was running for VP. It wasn’t until THE Enquire reveal the truth and the mediaBASTARDS still refused to cover it...REMEMBER!! FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!!!
I testified at a guys divorce hearing years ago. My testimony was that he was a good person and deserved visitation rights with his kids who he loved very much. His exwife was the one running around while he was pulling double shifts trying to bring home more cash for the family.
Bottom line, she got the kids, he got the shaft plus a damn big child support payment.
It really did ruin the guy. He was never the same after.
It has to be sexual or it wouldn’t matter.
Could it be related to the financial aspects of the divorce?
I hope you’re right
It has been reported that Tom Stemberg will likely be appointed as Treasury Secretary in a Romney administration, so I am sure that his divorce proceedings from 2005 would not reveal anything even remotely damaging to Mitt Romney. This is the perfect example of a “red herring” so other than MSNBC, can’t see this even making one news cycle.
HL Mencken.
The idea is probably to show Mitt testifying against the woman in the divorce to help his “good ol’ boy” buddy. It would be part of the “war on women” mantra. Sandra Fluke will hold a tearful press conference saying that Romney is taking us back to the 1950s and the era of barefoot and pregnant women.
The book Horror Stories: Mitt Romney’s Shameful Record with Mormon Women details Mitt Romney’s “psychological intimidation and bullying” during his role as a Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The report describes how Romney “tried to bully” Carrel Hilton Sheldon when she was suffering through a difficult pregnancy into not having an abortion. AlterNet reported:
A far more ominous tale in the Romney canon also took place that summer, one that has been largely swept under the rug as the former governor of Massachusetts challenges incumbent Barack Obama for the presidency. There have been no songs written about it, no cartoons, no gags on late-night television, no magazine covers.
It was in August of that year, shortly after the Romney family returned from their vacation to Lake Huron, that a pregnant woman in her late 30s—Carrel Hilton Sheldon—was informed by her doctor that she had a life-threatening blood clot lodged in her pelvic region.
In treating the clot, Sheldon was administered an overdose of the blood thinner Heparin, an overdose that not only resulted in significant internal bleeding, but also extensive damage to her kidneys, to the point where she was on the verge of needing a transplant. Her life was clearly in peril.
Sheldon’s doctor advised her that the overdose of Heparin might have also harmed her 8-week-old fetus and, given the possible fatal repercussions to her, he recommended that she abort her pregnancy.
Sheldon, a mother of four at the time (a fifth child had died as an infant), was then a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), outside of Boston. The LDS leader in Massachusetts at that time, called the “stake president,” was a Harvard-trained physician, Dr. Gordon Williams, and he counseled Sheldon to follow her doctor’s advice to terminate the pregnancy and protect her own life, so that she could continue caring for her four living children.
“Of course, you should have the abortion,” she recalled him saying.
According to an account later written anonymously by Sheldon for the LDS women’s journal,Exponent II, it was after receiving this counsel from her Williams supporting the potentially life-saving procedure that she experienced an uninvited visit in her hospital from her Mormon bishop at the time, 36-year-old Mitt Romney, who adamantly opposed the abortion.
“He regaled me with stories of his sister and her retarded child and what a blessing the child had been to the family,” Sheldon wrote of the incident. “He told me that ‘as your bishop, my concern is with the child.’”
Whew!
The accusation will be that, in the divorce proceedings between Tom Stemberg and his wife Maureen Sullivan Stemberg in the late 1980s, Romney misled the court as to the value of Staples, which had not yet gone public, so as to benefit his friend Tom at the expense of Maureen.
I wouldn’t stay home in this election to vote against 0bama if it turned out Romney was found in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
Maybe more info?
