21. Notice how the majority of articles about Caroline have had a negative tone
...from the start. Practically from the moment she announced she was interested in that senate seat, she suddenly went from being the media & Democratic party's little darlin' to a.... (fill in your chosen nasty insult here).... and some of it is just really ugly.

But to kneecap her after the fact, when she had already withdrawn quietly from the selection process, makes no sense and is just LOW.

Lower than low to imply that she hasn't paid her taxes (the NY tax office finds no irregularities there), questioned the legal status of her household help, and worse, saying she's fooling around on her husband. If untrue, it's definitely slanderous, and potentially libelous as well.

These are not charges anyone would take lightly, whether a private citizen or a public figure.

I mean, how would YOU like it if you were competing for a promotion at your job, and one of your rivals for that promotion told the boss, your co-workers, and anyone else who would listen those sorts of things about you? Perhaps even implying that you're the office slut, cheating on your husband? Ouch! Would it cost you a chance at the promotion? You bet it would. Would it damage your rep at work? Yep. What if they posted those rumors on the internet to f--k with you as well? Would it hurt your chances of getting another job? You bet. Would you be pissed? Most assuredly.

Would you exercise your rights under the law to restore your good reputation? That's your choice and your legal option.
