Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:As I said, Kuhn's story is much more believeable and logical. You know who was also a fucking scumbag? Ed McDonald, the Prosecutor. He is a publicity whore of the highest magnitude--right down to penning a tribute to Henry Hill in the NY Post after he died. Eddie sure does like the limelight, which he only could have had if he nailed Jimmy the Gent to the wall and it was certainly a lot easier to nail Jimmy the Gent to the wall when he had a nice, squeaky clean Rhodes Scholar candidate on the witness stand. He might be a bit of a racist too, because I for life of me can't figure out how your charge Ernie Cobb and not Lawrenceville Jimmy.
Everyone in this story sucks on some level.

Well, we now have been enlightened that Rosey does not let truth impede his hurling baseless insults at a fellow alum.
Knowing Ed McDonald, I can report that IMHO he is neither a "publicity whore" nor a "racist" ( the term du jour often leveled irresponsibly, by the bye). To the contrary, he handled a personally painful matter with the professionalism we expect, but don't always get, from public officials.
Too, Ed did what he ethically could to soften the blow for BC.
And Father Monan addressed the matter with the integrity and honor for which he was known throughout his exemplary presidency.
Finally, while I don't know why Sweeney was not charged and Cobb was, those decisions, I assume, always depend on what the available evidence and attending facts were as to each - something no TV producer normally knows.
So, we're all in no position to responsibly say that the Justice Dept. got this one wrong.
