Everyone in Cuyahoga County should read Erick Trickey’s piece on Pat O’Malley in the October issue of Cleveland Magazine. It’s a must read to show what the Plain Dealer has avoided doing for years about Prosecutor Bill Mason’s buddy, O’Malley.

You really have to ask yourself why over all these years of covering bits and pieces of O’Malley’s thuggish behavior the Plain Dealer didn’t set a reporter on the job to stop it long ago. The behavior has always been there.

However, it takes the determination of a newspaper to trace the dots of bad behavior and bring it home to the public so that the public understands how bad it really is. Trickey, thankfully, did it. It can be found here:

For those with strong stomachs, Cleveland Magazine provides the attached memorandum that outlines a description of the sickening pornography that O’Malley is charged with having on his computer. It can be found here:

I’d say that the political connections and friendship of Mason and O’Malley should rule out anyone voting for Mason for County Prosecutor. If his judgment is so bad as to ally himself with O’Malley he shouldn’t be in a position where he determines guilt or innocence of anyone.
