Obama backer resigns after e-mail flap
Staff Reporter | Posted March 13, 2008 12:22 PMIn the e-mail message dated March 6, Maxim Thorne accused Sen. Clinton of "lying" and stealing and called her a "disaster." Thorne also accused Clinton of "political posturing" on NAFTA.
But the most controversial portion of the e-mail message was a response to the Clinton campaign's 3 in the morning television commercial. "At 3am, Hillary said she and Bill were in bed and she knows of all the calls a President gets at different times of the day and night. Really? So much involvement - so much togetherness. Where was she when Monica was having sex with Bill?" Thorne wrote.
Thorne also related Bill Clinton sex scandals of the past to Hillary Clinton's experience argument. "35 years of experience? When he was intimidating Katherine Wiley and Paula Jones? Where was the judgment on the cattle futures and white water. Do we forget Mark and Denise Rich? This was an impeached President who lost his licence [sic] to practice law. He committed perjury. They settled with Paula Jones for the full amount of her lawsuit. I haven't forgotten and none of us should."
Thorne, who holds two degrees from Yale University, resigned from his post, but as of noon on Thursday, Thorne's blog was still posted on the Obama campaign web site. Thorne has also served on the Finance Committee and the African-American Leadership Council of the Democratic National Committee.

If there are those that choose to vote against their own self-interests because of contrived personality traits, this country will have decades of court decisions that lean to the harsh right of center. The Presidency is greater than one person and should not be a popularity contest.....we need policies enacted that promote a shift back to center that enables local government to provide improved services to its citizenry.
Each person has a vote. When the choice to cast or not cast is made, the person casting the vote is responsible for the outcome - that is reality.
