I dont have a link yet, but saw it on the news this morning. I smell a smear campaign here. She may be a flaming Lesbian, but a child molester? I dont know If I buy that.

I can't stand her. She's not funny and downright annoying. Well from what I've seen on To Tell The Truth.

<< A smear campaign on Paula Poundstone? Do most people even know who she is? >>




I think most people know her as a bad comic. Probably has a very nice niche with the gay community. But I think someone is trying to make her look bad, we have never heard of this before, maybe someone just wants to get even with her (or is tired of seeing her stand-up, :) ) I dont know. Just a thought. Micheal Jackson I believed, this one seems less &quot;cut and dry&quot; so to speak.

I want to know what on Earth she was charged with. Smear campaign I doubt. Its not like California or the media is the type of people who go on gay which hunts. I must admit that this is suspicious. Apparently, this investigation has gone on for some time.

[edit] I know what shes charged with, I want to know exactly what she did [edit]

Okay, she is very funny but only in one kinda of way, she was real popular in the early and mid ninties. She came to my college a few months ago to do a show, we paid her a lot.

I think its a witch hunt on the part of the DSS in her state. Many DSS people feel that single parents are incapible of raising kids, especially over one and she had 5.

It is on msnbc's frontpage to. Either way there is no details as to why they suspect soemthing.

From what I remember On KQRS (good radio station, but they don't necessarily preach the gospel :D) in MN this morning they said she is being charged with lewd conduct with one girl, and endangering a minor with the first one and 4 others (2 boys 2 girls).

The blurb I read also mentioned indecent contact with a minor under 14. Sketchy details though.

.... And in an unpresidented move, Paula Poundstone tried to re-invigorate her career by having herself arrested. Her publisist is quoted as saying 'We had to do something, nobody knows who she is.' :D
