So it is actually a BigFuckingDeal that Sen. Specter passed away today here in Philly at least...

He was a figure around town and was instrumental in many acquisitions of federal funds for jobs and projects. Of course, he was also responsible for the single bullet theory and the trashing of Anita Hill at Strom Thurmond's request but there is another horror story which you may Not know....

Many years ago there was a pig motherfucker who inhabited Penn's campus named Ira Einhorn. He was one of those disgusting pseudo intellectuals who had a big following among many students and residents of the nearby Powelton Village neighborhood of West Philly. I knew this prick by sight and couldn't stand him one little bit for a thousand reasons, not the least of which Was that eh was a consummate bullshit artist or the first magnitude. He was weirdly connected to what passed for counterculture here and one day, his girlfriend Holly just disappeared. Well, after some months she was discovered to be inhabiting a trunk which was on his property and he was arrested for murder. It was widely thought that he put her in there alive and she had tried to claw her way out.

Well, Arlen,acting as his attorney got him sprung and Ira, that piece of shit prick motherfucker, fled to several countries ending up in France where he lived for many years until he was finally extradited when PA had to promise that they wouldn't fry this sonofabitch bastard murderer. Somehow, Arlen had arranged for his bail to be 40000 dollars, and no one could recall someone in Philly being let go o was an accused murderer for any amount of bail. The bail was paid by the wife of Edgar Bronfman, if memory seRves me correctly, whose husband was the president of Seagram's distillery. In fact she may have been supporting him after he fled to Europe, where he played a game of cat and mouse, he being the mouse, with detectives.

What did Arlen do to get the judge To grant that bail and why? What did Ira have on someone that made it worthwhile to let him flee and start A New life elsewhere? We may never know for certain.

You may wonder why I'm so upset about this horror. I knew several of the principals at the time and observed their descent into the stupid world of this sociopath. The were more victims than Holly Maddux a believe me....perhaps not Maureen victims but women and Mn whose,lives would never be the same after having to deal with this creep.
