Dang it. It figures. Republicans have been misbehaving lately. lol. All about sex too. What gives?
I liked and supported Rosenthal before all this came out, as did many others I know - but he’s been acting very strange about this.
First he said he wouldn’t resign, then when local GOP told him he should, he said he would.
At that point, one of the 200 ADAs - but one who has gotten a lot of good press recently and who is a hoot to watch - Kelly Siegler, was pressed into service to run for Rosenthal’s office and she very reluctantly accepted.
She was one of the recipients of some of his forwarded emails and she was funny, saying her own hubby cusses like a sailor and partakes in some naughty jokes - BUT, he is self-employed and that’s on his own computer.
She didn’t want to run for election, but said she would. That was a little over a week ago, when the deadline was on for her to toss her hat in. Then Rosenthal changed his mind, once again, and she was put in the position of running against her boss.
So, now the media is out to get her, on top of the glee with which they are pursuing Rosenthal. Yesterday, they said Kelly called some Lakewood Church members “screwballs and nuts.” Ha ha, some of them are! (Joel Osteen’s church.)
What she was referring to was when she was trying to seat a death penalty jury and she was doing voir dire, she knew Lakewood Church people wouldn’t qualify, since most are opposed.
She’s a tough cookie, but has something like 200 convictions under her belt in 21 years there - I think all of it in the Harris Co DA’s office (not sure).
She’s the one featured last week on Dateline or maybe 48 Hours Mystery, one of those, which highlighted her prosecution of the woman named Wright who stabbed her husband almost 200 times. Siegler brought in the Wrights’ bed from their bedroom and then got on top of one of her other attys from her team and started pretending to stab him over and over and over again, counting up the number to show how long it took and how brutal it was.
