Who Handled the Ritter Sliming? (via Interesting Times):


Denis of CNNLies has made an interesting discovery. The judge who put the
seal on Scott Ritter's arrest record was Thomas J. Spargo.

This Thomas J. Spargo?


Justice Spargo Faces Inquiry
By John Caher
New York Law Journal

When election law expert and longtime Republican activist Thomas J.
Spargo was caught on film participating in a noisy political
demonstration, nobody close to politics was particularly surprised.
Spargo is a seasoned regular in the political game, and that he would
show up in Florida at the Miami-Dade County Board of Elections during
the Bush-Gore electoral debacle of November 2000 was almost
predictable.
But there was one thing troubling about that image.

At the same time he was stumping for George W. Bush and chanting
with other Republican supporters at what amounted to a boisterous
sit-in, Spargo was serving as a part-time judge in the rural Albany
County town of Berne. Judges are not supposed to get involved in
politics.
