For a little break from Starving Artist babbling on to himself about Clintonian conspiracy theories, Matthew Shepard’s mother was on Rachel Maddow, responding to Congresswoman Foxx, who kinda sorta “apologized,” saying she “misspoke.”
Look up “Joe Wilson” (which, if you’re the kind who follows links just to see where they will lead, will also lead you to “Valerie Plame” which makes for some crackin’ interesting reading).
You keep quoting this Safire column as though it’s meaningful. Starr found no evidence that any of this occurred. Moreover, there was nothing damaging to the Clintons in any of those files anyway, so there was no motive to move them.
What was “strange” about Foster’s death, by the way?
I don’t know. I do know that it’s quite possible that he simply changed his mind, and possibly changed it on the basis of some of the hundreds or thousands of pieces of information he was getting daily regarding developments in Iraq.
The difference between you and me is that because he’s my guy I’m willing to see alternative explanations; and because he’s not your guy you are perfectly content to jump to the most damaging conclusion and make accusations of lying when any number of other reasons may be the actual explanation.
But I’m not gonna quibble over all this all night; I’m in the middle of a very interesting book about William F. Buckley and would much prefer to be spending my time reading it.
So I’m out of here for now. I’m afraid you’ll have to call yourselves idiots for the rest of the night.* 
*Paraphrased from an insult by Debra Berone in Everybody Loves Raymond. No plagiarizer am I! No, siree!
By then the evidence was piling up that the “intelligence” was wrong regarding the locations of the WMD, the UN inspectors were finding nothing on the places the US and England told them to look.
So yes, he lied. He then lied to the American people by not seeking the second resolution because he knew he was going to lose.
The other explanation is that he was an incompetent fool, but even that does not exclude the other explanation.
Meh, like if posts would disappear tomorrow.
You remain mostly an idiot in the ancient Greek sense, and even the son of Buckley decided to dismiss the Bush Followers, so keep up the good work on antagonizing even the reasonable conservatives.
Please don’t feed him.
Nah, Starving Artist is a great punching bag, it doesn’t hurt one and he comes back for more punishment.
Scaife’s, actually. He (well, the lawyers he gave Paula Jones) then dropped it in Starr’s lap. Something about a midnight meeting at a Denny’s in Maryland, IIRC.
The pollster forgot that he was supposed to apply a 3/5 weighting factor to those responses. :rolleyes:
She’s not in charge of anything.
Aww… I was hoping for a story of Foster’s “strange” death that would make Rasputin look like a wimp.
Like any wife, she’s in charge of her husband. 
[flashback]Hours and hours of my holiday being bored to tears by my cousin insisting we listen to Jane Siberry albums. Bleargh.[/flashback]
Dead man has a box with files. One of the files relates to an ongoing case. Very impolitely, he does not tell anybody that he has this file.
Box is turned over to another person, who does not immediately insist that the dead man identify all files relating to investigation.
Files are locked away.
Someone goes through the files and finds the file.
Yes, very mysterious.
Ah, you were just too young and mainstream-brained to appreciate her brilliance. Your cousin, on the other hand, had excellent taste.
Edit to add, I’m hearing crickets from the direction of Starving Artist regarding Joe Wilson. Why am I not surprised?
Those are locusts. Run!
Heh. Hardly.
But now when we tease her about it, she’s appropriately shamed. 
Whether you know or realize it or not, Jane Siberry is a National Canadian Treasure. Celine, Ann, Bryan and other mainstream music makers get all the attention and the money, but Jane’s music will be what musicians, musicologists and discerning music lovers will be praising (now and) in the future.
That’s too bad. She got mainstreamed. She was right in the first place.
Bless your heart.
I’m going to try to avoid responding any further, because I’m starting to get offended by the equation of “disliking Jane Siberry” with “bland mainstreamer.”
President Obama’s being attacked for his choice of condiments. Condiments! I realize that Hannity is already a total loonball, but now he’s being joined by other loonballs in a full-blown case of Dijon Derangement Syndrome.
Does the base really need to be propped up this badly? OMG SOCIALIST!! WHO LIKES FANCY-PANTS MUSTARD!!
They’re a laughingstock.
What’s reallly funny is that “Real Men” actually prefer mustard and Grey Poupon is the most powerful brand. So when you’re thinking of traditional conservative values (including financial success and an Horatio Alger-style vision), you gotta go with the G.P.!
Well, given that most of the people who claim this do hear voices in their heads, it’s not unreasonable of them to expect Vince Foster to alet people to that file!
What? :o
