"She's clearly a plucky elderly lady who is sharp and has no trouble speaking her mind."

All well and good -- and more power to her for so being!

Yet she was an executive secretary, and in that profession, there is an ethos to get your yap shut forever about what transpires in the job. It's like being a personal butler.

No one would hire the butler who would be suspected to later write a tell all -- and the butler who does is diminshed -- loses credibility just by so doing.

And so too with Miss Knox.

It's certainly fine and dandy for her to not support Mr. Bush for President, even to speak against him. However HER line of integrity and goodness is crossed and moves into the very questionable when she uses things she learned on the job to do so, to do so by speaking these privacies in public.

And that questionability -- her willingness now to violate that ethos -- speaks to the veracity of what she says.

If she's ethically impaired in one area -- what about the other. Isn't she more likely to "mis-remember" or "mis-construe" or "sloppily confuse" what happeneded those 30 plus years back.

Yes, she is.

In question herself.

She impugns her own ethics.

What you said. As a former Certified Professional Secretary, I am deeply offended by this woman's lower-class gossip.

I will charitably stipulate that her mind is clouded by age and dementia ... after all, she couldn't believe the tired "selected ... not elected" lie if she were in full possession of her faculties.
