‘Fall’ implies that she was on some pedestal of intelligence, awareness or common sense from which she descended.

Instead, she is an identikit hothouse lefty surrounded by same. Some staffer eager to type a load of cliches thinking they would sound profound made the actual mistake but it could just as easily have been the stone liar Rice herself.

She saw it on a controversial YouTube video that has sparked violent outpourings of grief and dismay around the world.

It is though that the video might have been produced by Bibi Netanyahu.

Instead of being reborn, he re-died.

It’s not a true Nigerian hoax if payment isn’t requested.

Did she announce that he died as a result of a spontaneous demonstration caused by a YouTube video?
