Sidney Blumenthal name has repeatedly come up in Ben Ghazi hearings.
He was near the phone when I called the Wash Post in 84 and I may have talked to him about the New Republic piece he wrote on Pressler and the fundamentalist takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention. His colleague Tom Edsall was in Atlanta for the 88 convention and I talked to Tom there after he met my Dad and Bill Self.
Blumenthal knew the underbelly of the SBC and what Paul Pressleer was up to. I still want to talk to Billl Moyers on Blumentha's insight into the 48 Senate race in Texas between LBJ and Coke Stevenson who ran with Pressler's crowd. Sidney corrected Robert Caro and I'm convinced unwittingly nailed the origins of Pressler's obsession with the SBC!
