Lydia's a little behind the curve. Allred just accused the Boston Globe of double-crossing her.

Yawn!

Exactly, #2.

Who on earth would be swayed by what Romney said about someone else's divorce?

I don't think Allred really wanted the gag order lifted. She didn't think it would be, therefore the testimony would become an issue the democrats could lie about. I'm sure that she was taken aback when Romney said he had no problem lifting the gag order.

Oh dear! What now?........

Great headline, Daily Mush.

First of all, it's not Romney's "October surrpise", it's Obama's, via his harridan surrogate, Gloria Allred.

Second, it's already going "thud". That's the sound a nothingburger makes when it flies back into the face of it's creator.

#3 Women?

I know I probably represent the minority here, but does anyone think this gal is just a little bit crazy? She has tried this matter in several courts and lost. She had a half million shares which she sold and then regretted selling because the stock took off. Nobody coherced her to sell them, but she did. She could have been a rich woman, but she missed out and she is trying to undermine a candidate because of her own foolishness? That, my good friends seems just about as crazy as it gets. Of course, Gloria Allred seems a little off as well. This is an opinion, not a professional assessment of their mental state. It just looks like a couple of whining losers trying to make hay.

In heavens name why would Allred think that this could even remotely be something people would care about?

The President has lied about the deaths of Americans in Libya by terrorists and blamed another American for those deaths, some nobody for a video that no one saw.

This kind of childish garbage by Allred is what the President think that people care about? The democrats really need a reality check.

On the right hand we have third party testimony in a divorce a long time ago. On the left hand we have President and Secretary of State who let an embassy be stormed and the ambassador and 3 others be killed without taking action to assist. And then lied about it for 5 weeks, knowing that he had already told CBS part of the truth the day after. Gee, I'll take lefty traitors for $200.

If Mitt wins, I hope he gets back at her for this.

Agreed, this is a giant nothingburger.

Her "proudest achievement", their now-grown son Mac, was adopted by the Stemberg's. With his mother's assistance, he turned against his father when they divorced.

Re #4, that is backward. Romney had no problem with the unsealing of his court testimony.

The judge did not remove the gag order on Maureen Sullivan Stemberg because lawyer Allred had not filed the appropriate motion. Allred tried unsuccessfully to strike "a deal" with the judge to remove it anyway.

The gag order was agreed to by both Stemberg and Maureen at the time of their divorce. She appears to have been posting nasty stuff about him and Romney and Ann Romney online for years.

Lydia has not read the judge's decision when Maureen previously sought to have their separation agreement set aside and renegotiated.

I imagine that Mitt Romney would have gone to court to attest to the value of the stock she was given. That stock, previously restricted (Stemberg could have given it to his wife but it could not have been sold), was recast so that it could be transferred to her with certain restrictions but no restriction on her selling it. She was advised that it might be "prudent" to not sell all of it at once.

The price at that time was fixed. The restricted stock was not being traded. She got the current value of the stock, which is all you can get in a divorce action. Current value of assets.

When the company later went public, the stock price went up. But she had already sold all of her shares.

PS. Romney and his lawyers were provided the documents for their review before they were unsealed.

There's no there here.

The prize Allred wanted was the lifting of the gag order. She failed.

Standard Obama ploy.
Will the same judge force Obama to produce his transcripts or the records of his trip to Pakistan?

1. Hey, it's not a real Obama campaign unless somebody's court records get... "unsealed" somehow.

2. Oh, wow. This could sway six, maybe even seven votes. All right, three votes. Two? Will ya give me one vote swayed?

3. Well, this will get a lot more column-inches this week in the NYT-owned Globe than Iran's Mad Mullahs on the cusp of nuclear weapons with no meaningful opposition from Obama or the West, but hey, this is the story that matters, right?

4. Wholly subjective reaction to the photos, wholly subjective -- Whew! That's about a nine-point-eight-eight on the Seething-Fem-Factor-o-Meter! There's enough unfocused nasty in those expressions to curdle all the milk in Wisconsin. Enough wanna-be/closet Butch to sell out Harley's production for the next three years. [I know, they'd be far more likely to ride Victories than H-Ds, but the reference would be missed by most.]

Just look at the picture of Maureen Sullivan taking the oath. Seriously. This is the face of a typical Obama supporter. Got the crazy eyes and everything.

GEEEEZZZ, #18, thanks a lot!
Do you know what it's like to have chocolate pudding come out your nose?!?

ROFLMAO

The Brits have never figured out Yank politics.

Who cares. I hope they screwed that bit** in the divorce. She didn't build that!!!

My opinion is that Allred's plan was to file suit in order to pressure Rommney to have the ex-CEO to give his nutcase ex-wife some more money to shut her up. Unfortunely for Gloria, Romney said release the transcripts which are apparently harmless to him. All Gloria has now is to lift the gag order on the nutcase so she can tell her buddies in the media how eeeeevill Romney is.

*This* is Allred's October Surprise? That's pathetic.

Romney may not be fiscally conservative enough for my liking, but everything I know about the man indicates he's basically a decent guy. Probably an unusually decent guy by the standards of politics.

Crazy society divorcee is not going to sway middle America, I guarantee it.

The docs are unsealed, but the gag order remains in place. Game over. Now, Allred can go find a new plastic surgeon. Hopefully, the new one will have vision in both eyes. He will need to be the best, though, because once a face is all jacked up like hers it's nearly impossible to fix.

The stock was such a bargain that Mitt Romney and the other Bain people did not exercise all of their options to buy because it looked too risky.
