1. wow...WTF

That's like a signed confession right there... fucker....

[Orangeutan]

2. What a sweet-talker!

[lagomorph777]

3. Holy shit. This spells doom for Moore.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. No, it doesn't. This is Alabama we're talking about.

[lagomorph777]

49. Actually, the NATIONAL GOP seems to be scheming to boot him out the minute he arrives in DC.

Of course, that's problematic too - the scheme seems to be to transfer Sessions back to his old job, leaving the AG job open, and Mueller exposed to firing.

[jberryhill]

34. He said "Merry Christmas" didn't he?

Well thereya go.

[Whiskeytide]

54. If hed written X-mas it might. n/t

[Not Ruth]

4. Sicko

What is the timeline, signed yearbook first, raped after?

[SoCalDem]

7. she was a waitress there..he was a customer

she probably had her yearbook with her and he signed it during her work-shift..

the incident probably happened at a different time/date

It was not unusual for waitresses to flirt with male customers to get better tips, but casual flirtations are NOT an invitation for assault

she said she never returned to the restaurant so the signing had to have happened before

[underpants]

9. This thread (though deleted) has details from the press conference

Not sure if the incident was before or after signing the yearbook.

37. On MSNBC, they said he assaulted her the same night after signing her yearbook

She was black and blue around her neck and traumatized the next day, so she called the restaurant and told them she could no longer work there and she never went to that restaurant ever again.

Because of the yearbook, he cannot state he doesn't know her, as he has done with the 14 year old and others .

[brush]

56. It's been reported that signing of the yearbook happened sometime before the rape attempt

[WinkyDink]

62. 16 is usually not a graduation age.

[Not Ruth]

64. Not usually, but I graduated, received a yearbook and started college all at 16

I started school a year late and then skipped several years of school

[joshcryer]

5. The defense of this is going to be hilarious.

I mean, they'll very likely say he signed all sorts of kids yearbooks. But if they even attempt to find any that he's signed. It's going to be girls only. I guarantee.

[Corvo Bianco]

27. And the more they find the grosser they'll be.

[MineralMan]

6. Ick!

The most interesting thing in my Senior yearbook is an unsigned note with hearts dotting the "i"s that read,

"Oh, you'll never know what you missed!"

I never did figure out who wrote that.

[lagomorph777]

50. Damn - that must drive you nuts.

[MineralMan]

60. Well, that was over 50 years ago, but

I still wonder who wrote that. I got no clues at our 50th reunion, either. It's a nice mystery.

[0rganism]

8. if Moore actually goes forward with the WAPO lawsuit, he's the biggest legal idiot on the planet

discovery will destroy him, utterly and completely

[Cracklin Charlie]

10. Yearbooks don't get delivered at Christmas time.

They come at year end.

Was yearbook-signing Roy reminiscing about that special night around Christmas, when he groped the poor girl?

Ewww.

[Demsrule86]

15. Not always...my kids

got theirs in the late fall both in Ohio and Georgia for the previous year.

[sarah FAILIN]

23. we did too.

Back then we had real printed and bound books. Kids today only get magazine style with a soft cover and still wait

[Demsrule86]

57. My kids still get the hard cover ones.

[sarah FAILIN]

58. our schools are cheap

We pay plenty for them, but they are the same quality as our football programs.

[4139]

11. Hmm, the D.A. After his name stands for Dumb A$$? Or

Defiinetly A$$ho

[SonofDonald]

28. Deviant a$$ho... N/T

[TheOther95Percent]

12. I'm having trouble reading the chicken scratch...

I think it says:

To the sweetest most beautiful girl I could not say Merry Christmas.


I was a 17 year old in 1977 and a senior in high school.

No adult man signed my yearbook and ended it with Love. That is just creepy.

And - if some 30-something year old guy showed up at my house looking pick me up for a date when I was that age - my parents would have screamed, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Get the hell off my property before we call the cops!"

[underpants]

13. To a more beautiful ....

I need to take a shower.

[TheOther95Percent]

18. Ahhh, that makes sense.

I need a shower now too.

[gratuitous]

14. Stand back! I work for attorneys

To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say "Merry Christmas."
Christmas 1977
Love, Roy Moore, D.A.
12-22-77
Olde Hickory House

[underpants]

17. Yep that's it

Thanks

[lunamagica]

32. I'm sorry, what does that even mean? "I could not say Merry Christmas"

I don't get it.

[gratuitous]

33. A stilted attempt at poetry, I think

Moore could not say Merry Christmas to a sweeter, more beautiful girl. That is, he regarded Ms. Nelson as the sweetest, most beautiful girl in the world.

I didn't say it was good poetry.

[lunamagica]

36. Thanks for explaining. That was just awful

[Johnny2X2X]

16. To a sweeter more beautiful girl

What he wrote is inappropriate for any adult.

"To a sweeter more beautiful girl I could not say, Merry Christmas." Love, Roy Moore D.A.

It's creepy as heck. This is a 30 year old man saying this to a 15 year old girl he is not related to and is not involved in her school. WTF?

[Kaleva]

19. What is the meaning of "Old Hickory House"?

[TheOther95Percent]

20. Name of Restaurant

That's the name of the restaurant where the young woman worked when she encountered Roy Moore, the all-important district attorney and signer of teen girls' yearbooks.

[joshcryer]

22. I think it's clear he was a "regular" and had his eyes on her for awhile.

[Kalibaba]

38. Indeed

She started working there at 15 and stated he “touched her hair” and otherwise flirted with her from the beginning of her employment.
Ick.
It is also interesting to note that one of the women who had a “consensual” relationship with him also said he started flirting with her at age 14, though they didn’t “date” until she was 16.

[Vinca]

21. Could that be the name of the restaurant the girl waitressed at?

[Jarqui]

26. Apparently so

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/11/roy_moore_alabama_sex_claims.html

"Nelson said she met Moore while working as a waitress at the Old Hickory House, a restaurant off U.S. 431 in Gadsden. "

[jberryhill]

35. It's where Moore keeps a stash of $20 bills

Old Hickory:

[underpants]

43. You wouldn't believe how much my father-in-Law looks like him

Especially when I first met the family 20 years ago. Quite a character.

[Blue_Tires]

24. lol

[underpants]

25. Too funny

[Boomerproud]

42. Yep, this is before the horrible "War on Christmas" started.

so no one was arrested for saying "Merry Christmas" by the evil, baby-killing libruls.

[Not Ruth]

30. Was this a middle school or high school yearbook?

Only seniors get yearbooks correct? And she was 15 per this thread. High school means that they kept in touch for 3-4 more years?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1913204

[Igel]

39. I have 4 high school yearbooks.

You buy them, so whoever wants one gets one.

[underpants]

40. I got yearbooks from 7th to 12th

My daughter has had a yearbook every year since kindergarten. It's an industry.

[Mike Nelson]

31. It is odd...

...that it was signed at all, signed for Christmas, included "love" and complimented her beauty. When asked to sign a yearbook, you should be age appropriate. I think, for a local D.A., "best regards" and a message wishing her good luck would be better.

[adigal]

41. How did he get this yearbook to sign??? nt

[jberryhill]

44. He probably paid to have it printed in all of them

Cast enough lines, and you'll catch a few fish.

[PunkinPi]

61. She had it with her when she working at the restaurant.

Moore saw it and asked if he could sign it.

[Blue Owl]

45. SFF

Sick Fuck Forever

[rufus dog]

46. My Sr yearbook was signed by a 22 year old

Well, it was my cousin who graduated four years earlier and borrowed it to see what the kids from her church were saying. And the response was "Rufus Dog, stay cool, let me know if you want to go to the lake this summer, I can't believe we made it!" Which was a straight out mocking of what 90% of the people wrote in my yearbook. I called her and her boyfriend assholes and that was it.

[Tatiana]

47. I think he raped the 14 year-old.

And I also think there will be more victims coming forward.

What a nasty POS he is.

[Rhiannon12866]

48. When those in their 30s signed my yearbooks - they were my teachers

[Raven]

51. Yes, I was going to say teachers, brothers, cousins, uncles but not some creep

from the restaurant. I can completely see myself at that age getting in a car with him. It would be like getting in the car with a cop. He really played the DA card. It's hard to see how he can say he didn't know the girl when he has signed her yearbook...and it wans't just "Best of Luck"...it was very suggestive.

[mercuryblues]

53. yup

it was also a generic: Best wishes for your future type of message. Even our young, extremely handsome choir teacher that every girl had a crush on just signed his name and date.

[scheming daemons]

52. Now the RW whackjobs like gatewaypundit are claiming that it is a forgery....

....because the "y" in "Roy" looks different in 1977 than in 2016 signatures by the man.


Every handwriting analyst out there will tell you that people's signatures change slightly over time..... but there is no doubt it is was written by the same hand.

[underpants]

55. Ah! Science!

They always seem to have handwriting and typewriter experts at the ready.

[onenote]

59. If someone was going to forge his signature, why wouldn't they make it look like recent signatures

The fact that it looks slightly different suggests to me that it isn't a forgery but that he simply changed the way he signed his name over time. I know that's the case for many people.

[L. Coyote]

63. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
