Bob Barr had an affair with his present wife while married to his previous wife and refused to answer a question about this in a deposition taken during "a bitter divorce proceeding." His refusal to answer was under a Georgia statute that provided an out equivalent to the Fifth Amendment. Barr has criticized Clinton for using technicalities to evade answering questions, and Geraldo and Larry both flailed Barr for hypocrisy. Geraldo forbade Flynt talk about an abortion that one of Barr's wives had; Barr has denounced abortion as murder. A press conference, naming more names than Geraldo or CNBC's lawyers would let Flynt name, will happen after the show. Now Dershowitz and Falwell are commenting on the meaning of it all, but I have to finish cooking dinner.
