"Corbett, down in the polls, may now have to face the porn"

http://articles.philly.com/2014-09-22/news/54165531_1_democrat-tom-wolf-corbett-emails

A BIG BATCH of porny emails may be the very last thing Gov. Corbett, trailing badly in the polls to Democrat Tom Wolf, needs to hear about right now.

Still, a judge yesterday said the state Attorney General's Office may release emails requested in the last two months by four newspapers, including the Daily News, which may have been sent or received by Corbett's top deputies when he was attorney general.

The newspapers, in requests filed under the state's Right-to-Know law, described the emails as "pornographic" in nature.

They have been described to the Daily News as sexually explicit and, at times, misogynistic.

Soon to be ex-governor Corbett.

Chris Pack, communications director for Corbett's re-election campaign, said the governor has not seen the emails.

"He wouldn't tolerate that type of behavior," Pack said. "He'd be very disappointed."

Corbett's position on the emails has evolved in the last two weeks.

First he told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review he knew nothing about them. Corbett's campaign told that newspaper two days later that he had been told about the "inappropriate" emails in May.

This jackass must go. The reasons are plentiful. Good for Kathleen Kane's office.

Look forward to this one, though there are so MANY other reasons to get governor gas hole the hell out of PA.

But even at one term, he will be laughing all the way to the bank with his kickbacks from the fracking industry. Grrrr ...

He can join his brothers in arms, who've screwed us royally as they continue to cause havock!

This behavior by his staff again demonstrates the type of person Tommy boy is. The sooner he is gone the better.

Just got off a thread where DUers lined up to say they would not vote in the mid terms. Sigh...

They may even benefit from the unjust status quo and forget those fabled progressive values.

on behalf of GOPs. I truly hope that Crist will succeed against Scott in FL as well as WI ousting Walker. As to those who will not be voting, heck they weren't going vote anyways, but as usual they are the loudest complainers.
