Again Mikey?

What's that phrase? 

"Where there's smoke, there's fire."

Sure seems like something is burning over there:

• The Archdiocese of Chicago announced in a letter on Saturday that it's investigating an allegation of sexual abuse against Father Michael Pfleger. 

  In a letter to members of St. Sabina Church, the archdiocese said the Office for Child Abuse Investigations and Review has received an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against Father Pfleger that was alleged to have occurred at St. Sabina more than 30 years ago.

  Due to the allegation, Father Pfleger will step aside from ministry and live away from the parish during the investigation, the archdiocese said. 

Pfleger denies everything (as all molesters do) and claims it's all part of a long standing plot to get money from the archdiocese and stifle his political activism. 

Never mind that this is something like the fifth allegation in a few years, that we've been hearing about his monthly group outings to Home Run Inn pizza with all those young altar boys for years, and how he manages to stay locked into one parish for three decades while every other priest gets moved around every seven years.

We're just surprised the accuser is a female. That's a first.

We also thoroughly enjoyed his press release that included this line:

• "Before an investigation or even a conversation has taken place a priest is removed and told to remain silent during their process. The presumption of innocence does not exist for priests."

This from an asshole who granted ZERO presumption of innocence to how many Police Officers over the decades? The shoe is on the other foot now, eh? Again.

Pfuck you pfather.
