Reply #166: leopold had a book to sell, he was promoting himself

[pitohui]

his v. autobiography is abt his sad, sad story abt his life of drug addiction and petty crime, well, there are a lot of lives like that, most not worth reading abt, so the book is a pretty hard sell this time of century! but here's a way to get some cheap media attention by making up crap and promoting himself

how many of us ever heard of the guy before all this? ANY of us?

i don't believe pitt deliberatedly placed the story on truthout to hurt the left, i believe he was a dupe who is too easily taken advantage of and who used poor judgment in running the story
