Griffin had another story in Saturday's O, interviewing Ball, his friends and his lawyer. They portray him as a naive victim of circumstance. It's worth the read.

In oddly familiar news, Nick Budnick over at the Trib discovered another unsubstantiated rumor, this time that Ball had been sexually involved with a 17-year-old boy. Poetic justice? A "rest of the story" anecdote too ironic to ignore? Or evidence that even the short kids can hop over a lowered bar?

Personally, I think both of Griffin's articles were worth running even if WW hadn't published what they did. Depending on whether you listen to his current friends or his former ones, Ball is either too naive for politics at this level, or something a lot worse. I want to know these things when I have a ballot in my hand. Moore's analysis was also helpful.
