Poor student at West Point? Compared to some, perhaps. However, there were approximately 180 in his class of 800 that graduated below him in standing.
That puts him near the top of the bottom 25%. That's a poor student?
Doesn't excuse his behavior--but you are insulting those who graduated below him. Getting into West Point is not easy. And, FWIW, there are many who do not graduate.

Wow, it only took one set of polling results for McConnell to find his moral compass.

Ha ha when are allegations like this EVER common knowledge to the wife? People typically keep their mouths shut around the wife.
Note that Moore's wife is 14 years his junior, and that they met "around this time" -- i.e., when he was in his early thirties and she was (wait for it) a teenager.
Moore is a pig. But I believe she was 24.
He is 70 years old... She looks considerably younger, and maybe she was 24 when they married but that doesnt mean she wasnt a teen when they met. She sounds just as nutty as he is.

From the wiki:
"She competed in the Miss Alabama USA and Miss Alabama World pageants when she was just a teenager."
It just gets creepier.
Kayla Kisor was his secretary when he was in private practice after a brief post lawschool stint as a kickboxer and working as a ranchhand in Australia. He married her as a divorced single mother.

In 1985, Moore moved back to Gadsden, where he married the former Kayla Kisor, a divorced mother 14 years his junior. After an unsuccessful election run for district attorney, he started a private law practice. On his office he hung a wood plaque he had made years earlier listing the Ten Commandments.

Leigh Corfman has lived far from Alabama in her adult life. Roy Moore has been a state-level politician -- until now.
Do you expect national journalists to investigate every state-level politician with a sketchy past?! Who would fund these hundreds of investigations? Would you pay any attention to them?
Why was he removed from the Alabama Supreme Court? Not once but twice. I need to go google that.
“In 1992, he became a circuit court judge and hung his wooden Ten Commandments plaque in his courtroom.
In 2000, he was elected chief justice of Alabama's Supreme Court, and he soon installed a 5,280-pound granite Ten Commandments monument in the judicial building.
In 2003, he was dismissed from the bench for ignoring a federal court order to remove the monument, and became known nationally as "The Ten Commandments Judge."
Moore was again elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2012, and was again dismissed for ignoring a judicial order, this time for instructing probate judges not to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.”
