Bernie Ward Finally Admits To Child Porn


First it was “research” or so Bernie Ward claimed when the left of Hillary Clinton radio talk show host was caught with child pornography. Now he has finally given up that pathetic defense and admitted to his guilt:

SAN FRANCISCO — Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years.

Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted “God Talk,” a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station’s charity drives.

But his career disintegrated Dec. 6 with the unsealing of a federal grand jury indictment, issued three months earlier, that charged him with two counts of distributing and one count of receiving Internet images of child pornography. KGO fired him Dec. 31.

At least in this one instance for his liberal it really was “all about the children,” a popular claim as to why leftists do what they do.

Bernie, I’d like to introduce you to your new prison nickname “Bunk Muffin” … have a great five years you sleaze!
