"My hands are clean..."
"But then, what's wrong with October? SURPRISE!!!"

What if it was Hillary Clinton who gave the forged documents to CBS aka 60 Minutes aka Dan Rather? If Hillary and Bill Clinton very craftily conspired to deflate the Kerry campaign in order to leave an open door to the primaries for the presidency in 2008 for Hillary that would make sense right? Sure it would.
If John Kerry loses the election. And Teresa and John Edwards run off to Michaels Moore’s Villa in Cannes France to hang out with the Hollywood elite reviewing old Bogart Movies [like Casablanca.] And John Kerry is stuck at home Castle Sitting and tending SUV’s. That would leave Hillary unhampered to begin her 2008 campaign for president the day after the election. There’s nothing like a good old Arkansas edge to get things rolling.
Before Bill O’Reilly and Fox News pick up on this story and makes a big deal out of it. I have to categorically state I have no evidence to its authenticity. It’s just another of those things that frequently trek the empty spaces of my mind. There’s a lot of meandering goes on up there.
This isn’t the first time Dan Rather has put “foot in mouth” He did it with Reagan and with Bush 41. No not with Clinton. Liberal Media philosophy is spreading around the world faster than the al Qaide terrorism dogma. The mainstream media once upon a time checked facts twice and more times to assure accuracy. It seems today they download any blog that seems interesting with no concern of where it comes from. Dan Rather has in recent years become a mouthpiece for every Liberal agenda in this country. His credibility as a journalist has long been forgotten yet he stand in the path of self- destruction mike in hand proclaiming Armageddon if Conservatives rule. Poor Dan his ship has sailed and he missed it.
The Democrats have gone overboard in their disgust for the Swift-boat commentary. Yet they continue to trash President Bush at every opportunity. In the eyes of the Democrats it’s politics to say anything they choose yet when responded to its un-American. President Bush reminds me of the old Timex Watch Commercial “He takes a licking and keeps on ticking”. This must be unnerving to the Kerry Campaign, President Bush sticking to the current issues when all Kerry wants is to fight a thirty-year- old war over and over and over. I would point out two facts to the Senator. That war is over and we lost. Facts not apparent to Senator Kerry.
Has anyone wondered why Bill Clinton didn’t come forward before the Swift-boat ads came to such prominence to tell John Kerry to cool it with that Vietnam hero thing? Clinton being one of the most astute political campaigners of the Democratic Party knew how numbing that issue could be. Could it have been Bill Clinton wanted the Kerry campaign to implode? It’s just a thought mind you.
According to Senator Kerry everything President Bush has done in four years has been wrong. Senator Kerry has yet to explain to the American public what would have been the right way to go at the issues he is discrediting the president for. Kerry has yet to layout an agenda of how he intends to govern if elected president. President Bush gave a detailed presentation of his agenda at the RNC convention. Senator Kerry at the DNC convention discussed little more than the Heroic adventures of one Lt. John F. Kerry over thirty years ago. Senator Kerry has gone the way of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Carter and those other entire super Liberals who can’t see America for the Skyscrapers. The wisdom of the founding fathers should never be challenged. America has no privileged class. Only rich and poor, energetic and lazy, educated and uneducated all afflictions man can over come with effort and desire.
In all fairness I must give credit or blame to Mac McCrae for the Hillbilly title. I stole it from him. Thanks Mac.
I want to thank the many subscribers to Useless Knowledge who sent e-mails [30 at last count] questioning my demise or lack of it. I took some time off to learn new computer skills. I thank you one and all and especially Michelle Malsbury for her article. I would like to point out after reading some of my very dear friend Michelle’s articles I’m often obligated to take two aspirin and lay down for a while.
Pretty good article...but the title sucks.
I proposed this a long time ago. The explanation answers one hypothesis: why would Dan absolutely, positively, unequivocally, stand by his source? Because it would be unbearable to him to admit that he was duped by Der Schlickmeister - or Her Hillary!ness.
I think it's somewhat more likely that I will be abducted by space aliens on my way to work tomorrow.
hitlery looks like the lead part in one of those giant snake (anaconda) flicks. .
those eyes . . eeugh
I'll bet you are right about this. It was an inside "hit" by the Clintons. Look how quickly the sh*t has hit the fan since the Clinton team has stepped into the Kerry campaign.
Even if she was behind it, I doubt she personally would have given them to Rather. I'm sure the person giving it to Rather wouldn't even know.
I think that is a very good possibility. She has everything to gain and nothing to lose by Kerry getting blown out of the water. She would definitely be on my "A" list of prime suspects.
I think Rather would consider it an honor to be snookerred by those fine people.
I think he fears for what's left of his life.
That's enough to give me nightmares tonight.
Now this conspiracy has merit.
It was Craig Livingston, not Hillary.
Sorry...but I don't believe he was duped....he went right along with it from the get go.
We lost partly because of people like Kerry. That is what he wanted.
Couldn't you have just as easily said "My guess is the documents came from Rathers's daughter, who lives in Texas" ? But then...... what difference does it make where she lives?
Remember: there were 900 FBI files taken by She Who Must Not Be Named. There were 535 sitting Congresscritters at the time, leaving 365 additional files - and they were on ANYONE who might pose a threat to Her ascension to power.
