You have to be careful with snopes. Quite a lot, if you read the whole thing on a quote, it turns out that the "Bogus Quote" conclusion is merely snopes' opinion. This Snopes Bogus Quote advances only that Reno did no 60 minutes Interview in 1994 as sole evidence she didn't make the statement. Yeah, I should have posted a few more of the links debunking the story ... there were pages of them

This last one is interesting ... the original source of the printed report uses some pretty lame justifications for standing by the story.

You misunderstand.
I'm not invested in the Reno quote being uttered in reality, but I have investigated plenty snopes' reports after having found one that was hundreds of words long and offered no evidence or refutation at all.
Yes, I've found some that were well done with good opposing evidence, but others that were wordy with no evidence at all.
I think it's a mistake to trust the site without carefully reading the material. People tend to see that scopes link and assume that the topic has been debunked without checking it out.
As far as the Reno quote goes, I don't think she would have said it outright on national television, but other statements made when she was holding office in Florida and some while holding the office of US attorney general, which were definitely hers, I can quite believe she could have said something very close, or written such a thing in a memo or report.
The woman is sick, spiritually and mentally.
