C-SPAN isn't just for racists. It's for contentious lovers, too. Earlier this month, Todd Seavey, Helen Rittelmeyer and others gathered for a panel discussion of Jonah Goldberg’s new book, “Proud to be Right,” which was broadcast on C-SPAN. But the rather dull rhetoric took a turn for the scandalous when Todd started to air out Helen's dirty laundry. (Sidebar: She didn't even care.) The couple dated for two years some time ago and during their, should we same complicated, relationship, Todd said Helen was sleeping around with other guys and he told the story of the mindgames Helen played. "At at times her gamesmanship would include even coldly saying that she was gonna play matchmaker and set up a couple and then seduce the man away to play with his mind and hurt the woman, which when you think about it is pretty creepy. Kinda disturbing," Todd said. Well, the folks over at the Daily Caller caught up with the feuding lovebirds to get to the bottom of this.
Helen told the site she doesn't talk about her private life "as a matter of policy" but Todd's "tirade thoroughly mischaracterizes [her] political views." Well, Todd fired back with this zinger, "Helen often lies (and as she well knows can always plead 'irony' if someone catches her, which is why her favorite Catholic is Oscar Wilde — or so she says, anyway). I’m not going to waste any more time trying to sort it out, though."
