The Power of Modern Fads [Wall St. Journal's ROBERT L. BARTLEY]

A couple of disparate events sent ripples of satisfaction through our editorial-page offices last week. A Massachusetts parole board at long last recommended Gerald Amirault for parole, and a Food and Drug Administration panel recommended that silicone breast implants be returned to the market.

Funny how Congress, and other liberal-infested places, can move pretty darn fast when they choose to - no matter how bad the info, science, scare claims,etc. - which they use to support their dubious actions!

The fad has been defeated, but not without horrible costs to Gerald Amirault and others.

What the state of Massachusetts did to the Amiraults is a disgrace beyond description. I hope that Gerald Amirault has the best of luck upon his release.

While IMHO I doubt he would continue to stir that sewer...I would hope and pray somewhere in all of what happened to him lies a RICO case.

"I hope that Gerald Amirault has the best of luck upon his release. "

I hope the terms of his release allow him to GTFO of that miserable state.

[68skylark]

I agree.

I have carefully read up on Gerald Amirault. He is the victim of an unspeakable crime by the PC Nazis: he was totally innocent!!

God have mercy on him and may he receive blessings in the future.

(As a footnote to history: Before becoming the most corrupt, worst Attorney General in US history, Janet Reno's "reputation" in Dade County, Florida also rested on bogus "devil cult" nursery school convictons of the innocent.)
