Tom Basting's denials are looking thinner all the time, and the Gableman campaign did the right thing in issuing their own clean campaign pledge instead. So far Butler has refused to sign.
Basting is starting to remind me of the Bob Barber character from Rustler's Rhapsody:
Rex O'Herlihan: You're not a good guy at all!
Bob Barber: I'm a lawyer, you idiot!
