Okay this is part rant and part trying to catch up on yesterday. I was on the road and missed all of the news for the day.
So I arrive at my Mom's house and we talk about this and that and she says "What's this about Clinton's boy and his socks" (laughs). This is my own mother, my step-father watches Fox and well despite my ardent efforts to get her to seek other sources she hasn't -she knows better-- it is very disappointing.
So I pick up the Richmond Times-Dispatch (often cited on Fox) and found the AP wire report on page A6. Read through it. Looked up at my mom (my brother sitting there too) and said "Doesn't say anything about socks in this
AP wire report!"
I had heard this nonesense started Tuesday night on Hannity and someone posted where it seems to have started from ---Newsmax.
They have a one day flood the news cycle BIG LIE and it seems to be working. Wednesday morning on CNN Jack Cafferty cracked a joke about it so it is planted with the CNN devotees as well
"Is it possible to inadvertently put things in your socks?" CNN anchor Jack Cafferty asked on air yesterday morning, adding to the tabloid-driven chatter about one of Sandy Berger's alleged modes of transporting materials from the National Archives. "It's just something that I was pondering in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep."
WaPoOf course Alan Murray's
widely read article sets the record straight, see NBC is covered.
