Deal's not done
Jeremy Lott sums up the state of affairs here: http://getreligion.typepad.com/getreligion/. He posits that the man's support is waning, though a few bloggers are protesting they're standing by their man.
I wonder if the lack of secular press interest isn't because pedophile clergy and fumbling bishops haven't already hardened expectations. If Deal were a priest, maybe journalists would be falling over themselves to crack the story wider.
Everything Deal says and does seems calculated to keep himself above the victim line. Shouldn't some close friend just give him a hint: everything you say just makes it worse.
