How insecure does the Star have to be and how far down has its standards dropped that it has to come on a private blog and attack people, some not even mentioned in the article, by name?<br /><br />Is this another one of Derek Donovan's public meltdown's? I notice that as part of the attack on Chastain that an old article from The Star's library was used as an ad hominem attack, something an ordinary contributor would not have access to, but something Ms Donovan would have access to as The Star's public editor and librarian.<br /><br />This would not be the first time Derek, notoriously thin-skinned, had gone bonkers and attacked critics of the paper in an unethical manner.

Chastain say...ISSUE: He's a freakin' creep<br /><br />Chastain says he is sorry<br /><br />Union Station activist sought dates with signers of his petitions.<br /><br />BY MARK MORRIS and TIMOTHY HEIDER<br />THE KANSAS CITY STAR<br /><br />Clay Chastain apologized Monday for calling some women who signed his petitions and asking them for dates.<br /><br />Holding a balloon that pictured a teddy bear and the words "I'm sorry," Chastain also acknowledged that he now understood that the descriptions of the women, which he wrote in the margins of his petitions, were offensive.<br /><br />"I apologize to all the ladies of Kansas City, " Chastain said. "I'm not making excuses. I'm apologizing for inappropriate behavior."<br /><br />A Kansas City political scientist said Chastain's apology didn't go far enough. He said Chastain had broken the public trust involving a civic institution - the initiative petition process, which citizens use to bypass government officials.<br /><br />"As a citizen, I felt violated, and I'm outraged by his conduct," said Frank J. Smist Jr., chairman of the political science department at Rockhurst College. "He owes an apology to everyone, not just women. He's done a lot of damage."<br /><br />Anne Nattinger, who signed one of the petitions, said she felt betrayed that Chastain was using the process to further his social life.<br /><br />"I'm really disappointed. I signed the petition, and I felt proud I was part of the cause," Nattinger said. "I don't think any woman who has seen this will ever sign another one."<br /><br />Nattinger said the notation "short cute yes" next to her name made her feel "creepy." She said Chastain should be stopped from doing petitions in the future "if he's going to be using it for a dating service."<br /><br />Nattinger said she was not called, as some petitioners were.<br /><br />For much of the 1990s, Chastain has circulated petitions in Westport and Brookside calling for public votes on various plans to renovate Union Station and the Liberty Memorial. His most recent drive concluded last week. In addition to his civic activism, Chastain has worked as an electrical engineer and a home remodeler.<br /><br />On Sunday, The Kansas City Star reported that Chastain used the personal information to look up phone numbers and ask women out.<br /><br />The Star also found 54 notations written on Chastain's petitions. They ranged from a star next to a woman's name to physical attributes, such as "tall blond," "pretty chunky blond," "blond bomb," "short cute," "beautiful hair," "small body," and "shook my hand, freckles."<br /><br />Chastain explained one notation, "blond watermelon," as a reminder of what the woman was carrying from a grocery.<br /><br />"That was not meant to be (sexually) suggestive," he said.<br /><br />No such descriptions appeared beside the names of men who signed.<br /><br />Chastain said Monday that the descriptions were spontaneous notes jotted down in the stress and weariness of grueling petition drives. "Maybe I was out in the sun too long, " he said. Chastain appeared to blame his predicament on city officials, who stalled three previous petition efforts with legal wrangling and appeals.<br /><br />"The corrupt city of Kansas City has forced me for the last five years to do petition drive after petition drive after petition drive to get the right to vote, and, yes, this has hurt my social life," he said. "And when I've been on the petition trail I have asked a few women outand a few women have asked me out. I'm not going to apologize for liking women."<br /><br />At his morning press conference, Chastain also apologized to his young daughter, who stood beside him and held a bouquet of roses.<br /><br />"I misbehaved," Chastain said. "I didn't set a good example for my daughter. My daughter usually behaves better than I do."<br /><br />ISSUE RESOLVEDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-81833128990006655482014-03-06T08:35:11.158-06:002014-03-06T08:35:11.158-06:00And let's include Glazer in the village as wel...And let's include Glazer in the village as well.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-59015695335270007752014-03-06T08:34:04.375-06:002014-03-06T08:34:04.375-06:00Not really, 8:31.
