The Sum of Many Parts

I promised some fun and games for the month of September and September has arrived. There have been many players in this online and tabloid "Smear Campaign" and we're going to start exposing them right here on the front page. I may have developed a sinister side after all this smearing but I'm going to enjoy what is to come.

One of our brilliant regulars took the information we've been discussing for months and has come up with the best summary I've seen yet. I'm going to make it the blog for the day because it's the perfect lead which will be followed by details in the next week or so.

August 31, 2006 (8th Month into the Smear Campaign)

You know, I had forgotten about the rumored phone calls between Clay and Reichen and how coy Reichen was whenever he was asked about them. It wasn't Clay on the phone with Reichen, it was Lance Bass, the "spiky-haired popstar." Reichen was trying to protect Lance. Additionally, Reichen was filming a movie at the time and having his name linked with Clay's would provide lots of free publicity. When the movie aired, the director thanked Clay in the credits. Then Reichen denied he knew Clay as did his mother on his blog, and she said it was all a publicity stunt. How nice.

PaulASS saw how Reichen, who's backstory is similar to his own, was parlaying it and his AR win into an acting career and was considered somewhat of a celebrity, if only for 15 minutes. PaulASS wanted a taste of that and even latched onto Reichen's idea of writing a book about gays in the military. PaulASS had nude photos of himself on gay porn websites that also had as members certain gay tabloid bloggers with an axe to grind. He would be an easy recruit, someone desperate for fame, celebrity, notoriety (it's all the same to him) and a chance at a porn career. What was there to lose? Nothing except a job with ReMax selling lower-end properties in a rural area south of Raleigh. Not very lucrative and certainly not as exciting as what he hoped to experience as a pseudo-celebrity. Since Clay was moving back to Raleigh and was rumored to be gay by those same gay bloggers, it would be the perfect set-up. They finally found someone willing to allow his face and name to be attached to the scam for credibility. The added plus was that PaulASS was broke, had no assets and lousy credit, so he wasn't worth suing. BM acknowledged that Clay wouldn't sue and he was right, because it would cost too much and the end result would be lots of negative publicity at a time when the press should be focusing on the new CD.

I would think that as an employee (am I wrong here,or is he not an employee of American Media, as is PH?)BM would know that the NE fabricated the DNA evidence, as was admitted to by PaulASS to a writer who was contemplating a story.

The reports coming out of the Quality Inn tell a different tale than that told by PaulASS, and the valleyprettyboy designation was formally and legally traced back to one of these gay tabloid bloggers as the original source of the trolling rumors, leading one to suspect this gay blogger was doing the trolling in Clay's name for hits to his own blog and/or to set the stage for this smear campaign.
