    Stupid Republican idea of the day

    Hey, his was merely the first suitable account I happened upon while Googling.

    And it matters not in the slightest whether you find that incident trivial, vapid or of no import whatsoever. What does matter is that I don't agree, and that it was based upon my assessment of the likelihood of (apparently sucessful) chicanery on Hillary's part with regard to that incident that I posted the comments that Equipoise listed above.

    So I guess I'm gonna have to retract that 'men of good character' part where you're concerned, given that rather than acknowledge that I never so much as insinuated that Hillary Clinton killed Vince Foster you've simply switched instead to quibbling over whether the events that did trigger my comments really happened or not.

    Why should he write a correction?

    He laid out an accurate accounting of the events that transpired, and as it happens the independent counsel could find no proof that document tampering/removal occurred as a result of those events.

    How is anything that Safire wrote negated by the fact that no forensic proof of wrongdoing could be found?

    And besides, denials and lack of forensic evidence does not innocence make, as we all found out once the existence of a certain blue dress finally came to light.

    Whoo! All the 'Let 'em drown and rot in the sun*' supporters have themselves a champion. Meet Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)

    You know that story cites a Democratic Representative who was offended by it, right?

    It leaves more women for those of us with self-control?

    1) If it is an accurate, good faith report, I don't care who is offended

    2) If it is an inaccurate, partisan / bad faith report, it should have been quashed by some review process

    3) My guess here, it is a good faith report (and a best guess, as strong as a report like that can be) and the "vetting" she speaks of is purely political, and not related to accuracy per se. Part of her responsibility is to not hang albatrosses around the neck of the administration- that competes with the responsibility to get accurate information to law enforcement. When in competition, useful information should win.

    Of course I am biased- this administration strikes me as thoughtful and competent so I view things through that lens. I'll be interested to see what happens with this going forward.

    Wow, except for cutting taxes and expanding wars, they seem to have no positive agenda at all.
