Please don't be like Tweety and let anyone tell you

that Hillary "threatened" Juanita Broaddrick.

No, she did NOT.

Juanita claims that she felt threatened by the way Clinton told her how much she appreciated the work she did for Bill's campaign. (They were at a party attended by campaign people.) She thought Hillary had a threatening look in her eyes.

The "threat" was all in Juanita's imagination. Even she doesn't say that Hillary actually spoke any threat. So don't let anyone tell you she did! It's just being paraphrased that way by idiot pundits on TV.

We contribute to that narrative when we patronize these talking heads' advertisers. If ratings are all they care about, then their ratings will return when they again get their facts straight.

porking Clinton

one of the two was supposedly a violent sort, and she was afraid of being roughed up

lots of other sleazy details, forgotten "memories," leading to Starr's refusal to have anything to do with her, despite his DEEPEST yearnings

65+ million bucks later, they came up with what? a trumped up lying about sex charge

congress was so hot for WJC they fired the first special prosecutor because he couldn't find anything

Why else did she NOT tell her own husband what had supposedly happened? Why would she tell him that she'd had an accident and bruised her lip? (That's what she claimed to the Starr investigators -- that she hadn't told her husband and made up a story about an accident.) How come her husband didn't remember any bruised lip or any accident?

I don't listen to Hardball anymore (haven't really in years) because sometimes he seems to champion our nemesis-- and I don't know why. Doesn't happen all the time but often enough

Maybe I'm too thin-skinned but I don't trust him to be on our side

Of course, I guess we can't blame them. If they were forced to acknowledge facts, their entire world would explode.
