Matt Drudge's Radio partner Lynn Samuels on WABC has confirmed that Wall St. Journal Editorial Page writer and commentator John Fund has been detained by the NYPD and charged with abuse of his girlfriend Melinda Pillsbury.

No word on the status of his online column with the paper.

Bartley has a decision now.

[MeekOneGOP]

bump!

[codebreaker]

Caught the tail end of the show- is the daughter Morgan, if so that is probably it.

[Senator Pardek]

Never trust a guy whose name reminds you of a pro bono legal charity for indigent whoremongers.

[RnMomof7]

Didn't something like this happen one time before? I seem to remember some one accused him of that

[barker]

If this report is true Fund has to go.

[Tree of Liberty]

I'm a little late to the party here, it sounds like. What was the tape about, who made the tape, and when was it released?

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

Ofg course the term "abuse" is often times applied to the man leaving the toilet seat up... so wait and see.

You wouldn't BELIEVE what I've heard called abuse in the past.

[MeekOneGOP]

Bartley has a decision now.

Pardon me. Who is Bartley, if I may ask?

[Tree of Liberty]

He's the editor of the whole paper, I believe. Not sure if he was the man that came out to the sidewalk to read the paper's statement on Daniel Pearl the other day or if that was a spokesman.

[Howlin]

Go where?

[mrsmith]

John fund has done great work, especially on Union corruption.

I hope, and frankly expect, that this is overblown.

[StormEye]

"John Fund was the ghost writer for the books attributed to Rush Limbaugh.
Just thought you'd like to know."

Haven't heard that before. Do you have proof of this?

[jackbill]

Bartley has a decision now.

Bartley has retired. Paul Gigot is now the Editorial Page Editor.

[Senator Pardek]

Bartley looks like he could be Cheney's skinny older brother.

[codebreaker]

Gigot is running the show now...boy am I getting old.

[codebreaker]

Must be some sort of weird deal between these two, they keeping breaking up and getting back together.

[lady reaper]

He's the editor of the whole paper, I believe. Not sure if he was the man that came out to the sidewalk to read the paper's statement on Daniel Pearl the other day or if that was a spokesman.

No wrong. The editor of the WSJ is Paul Steiger.

[lady reaper]

Correction: Paul Steiger is the managing editor for the Journal.

I know! Go where, what a stupid thread. I do see the lefties all over it. All we know is pretty much nothing here and till we do, its all BS.

[GeneD]

Actually Gigot edits the Wall Street Journal Conservative Edition. Al Hunt edits the Wall Street Journal Liberal Edition. You get two (CLACK) two (CLACK) TWO newspapers in one! with the Journal.

Not even the WTC and Danny Pearl disasters have stopped this paper from being glib and taking both sides on every issue. When will the readers wise up?

[Miss Marple]

I wised up. I cancelled my trial subsription and told them as long as my money contributed to Al Hunt's salary they wouldn't get another penny from me.

And they won't.

[Paul Atreides]

Her last name is Pillsbury, so maybe he just stuck his finger in her belly button.

[Tree of Liberty]

Thanks for the correction.

[RAT Patrol]

I guess the politics of personal destruction is okay if you're destroying a Republican. (not that he doesn't need to be accountable for his actions, like everyone else, but is this really NATIONAL news?)

We need our own set of Republican super sleuths to dig up dirt on liberal media types. This could be fun!!!

[RAT Patrol]

especially on Union corruption. that explains a lot. Payback time.

[Tacis]

No matter in how low regard I hold media types, I am still always relieved to find one involved with a person of the OPPOSITE sex.

[Right_in_Virginia]

My first reaction was: --"Wow, John Fund has a galpal?!"

Then I realized how serious this is.

[truthkeeper]

I'm sorry to hear about all this. He always struck me as such a nice man.

[M. Thatcher]

John Fund was the ghost writer for the books attributed to Rush Limbaugh.Just thought you'd like to know.

Actually, not.

Rush collaborated with Fund on the first book only. Rush wrote it; Fund edited it.

[MeekOneGOP]

And here's some poetry about Mr. Fund. . . Tell me if you oughta
Is Mother better then her daughter?

Three Poems for John Fund
http://www.mediawhoresonline.com/fundpoems.htm

[Senator Pardek]

I'm glad somebody here still has a sense of humor!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

There once was a fellow named Fund
Who claimed that abortion he shunned
Till he got in hot water
With his own girlfriends daughter.
His hypocrisy has everyone stunned.

/

John Fund is a Right-to-Life fan
Protects unborn babes like a man
Excepting that is
When the baby is his
Then he flushes it right down the can

/

Little Johnny Fundy,
Boinked the Mom on Monday;
With no morals and as hypocrites do,
He victimized the daughter too.

/

Fund wants to be called a martyr?!
Carnal with both mom and daughter,
John, you're 3 times her age -
You belong in a cage!
Better yet - you're comedy fodder.

[F16Fighter]

With all due respect to some of those who would immediately tar and feather a man who has accomplished much on behalf to the conservative cause, we ought to hold fire and judgement until the entire dynamics of the story are divulged.

Let's not eat our own as the D-Rats do just yet...

[NYCVirago]

Wasn't he supposed to be supposedly marrying her at the end of February? This story gets wackier and wackier!

[orbitboy]

she sounds like a psychopath on that tape

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Well put!!!! I'm glad somebody here understands what this guy is all about. This isn't just one incident, he has quite a history. He's a hypocrite and an embarrassment to conservatives.

[eaglebeak]

Boy, you aren't kidding. Philandering around with a woman and then her daughter, the pregnancy, the abortion, and then assault!

[NYC GOP Chick]

You know, it may not be long before he becomes an indigent whoremonger himself, at the rate he seems to be going.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I'm sorry to hear about all this. He always struck me as such a nice man.

Yes, my thoughts as well. In fact, I got to briefly meet him the other night, and he was incredibly nice.

My understanding is that the woman is a bit of a nut, so I'm *hoping* that she either lied or exaggerated or something. I don't want to think that he's a lowly woman-beater.

[1 FELLOW FREEPER]

""Rush collaborated with Fund on the first book only. Rush wrote it; Fund edited it.""

You are correct. Editing only!!

[Benrand]

Personal life, don't rush to judgement, private life...move on.

[runningbear]

he is an avid fan of Star Trek, lived in Sunnyvale, Ca area, and got kicked off the Lee Rodgers show on KSFO, for a "no show" one too many times...
