How do the Rats get away with accessing sealed court files? WTF? Isn't that least a misdemeanor offense at a minimum?
“Look at Blair Hull on the campaign trail...yep... real man of the people you could have a beer with. ::chuckles::”
A real man of the people. Judge Smails would be proud that Spaulding grew up, changed his name and ran for the Senate.
“Blair” was also his middle name, he filed on the ballot as M. Blair Hull. The M. stood for “Marion”.
From their allies in the mainstream media, of course. Here's the story from 8 years ago:
-----------------------------------------------
Hull's ex-wife called him violent man in divorce file
By David Mendell, Tribune staff reporter. Tribune staff reporter John Chase contributed to this report
February 28, 2004
The messy divorce, and its sealed records, has consumed Hull's campaign since the Tribune reported on Feb. 15 that his second ex-wife, Brenda Sexton, had sought an order of protection against him during the final stages of their divorce. Hull initially declined to discuss the matter, but he soon faced a storm of media inquiries , as well as calls from rivals to unseal the records ... their 1998 divorce records reveal that she accused him of being "a violent man" who caused her to fear for her safety.
Hull, a multimillionaire former securities trader who is on track to break all spending records for an Illinois political campaign, was leading the field of Democrats in the March 16 primary in a Tribune/WGN-TV poll conducted just before the issue erupted.

Of course in the case of Miss Marion, it couldn't have happened to a nicer RAT.
