Ahem....the thing is NO socks..
Wasn't that around 10 years ago? Francis needs to live in the present.
Either that or he is just freshening up the same pile of dung you see printed about Rush in the Yahoo Bumpkin/Gazette every few months.
This guy does the third-rate rehash hatchet job on Limbaugh and then criticizes a man who puts out 15 hours of original programming a week for six statements made over the last twenty years about not being thorough.
Go figure.
Well he’s hardly in the same boat he was then. He’s now talking to a much bigger audience as well as getting a fatter payday.
To judge Volpe’s credibility you can read his letter to Salon in 1999 here here in which he commented about an article by Andrew Ross about Clinton getting better treatment than Robert Packwood during the impeachment trial which is below.
Andrew Ross' article about Clinton getting better treatment than Robert Packwood was an interesting idea for a story, but it probably wouldn't have played as well if Ross had included any facts about Packwood's fall. For example, Packwood was not hounded for sex but sexual harassment -- his antics were not in any way consensual. The only actual case of harassment suggested against Clinton is the Paula Jones case, which was thrown out of court and only settled because Clinton knew the Whitehead Institute would have appealed it to the World Court in the Hague just to keep it in the newspapers.
Packwood was also guilty of falsifying actual evidence in the form of his forged diaries. You can quibble about perjury with Clinton until the cows come home, but making a few mistakes while trying to remember past events on the fly is nothing compared to seating yourself before a keyboard and hammering out a document whose very existence is a lie.Ross also got an actual fact wrong -- Robert Bork's video rental history was never at issue, it was Clarence Thomas who was accused of renting things like "On Golden Blonde" and "Sex Trek, The Next Penetration." By the way, if you want to start a conversation about liars, let's talk about Clarence Thomas telling a Senate committee and a television audience that he had never in his life formed an opinion about the Roe vs. Wade decision. Thomas may be the only person in history to perjure his way onto the Supreme Court.

All that hair, the mustache, the beard, the big tinted glasses...
Is there a man behind there anywhere?
Must be one of those reflexively defensive types.
Same deal with the Bush tax cut, which essentially wiped out the Clinton surplus and put our government back into deficit status. How can an opposition party fail to capitalize on the fact that 40 percent of the money in that tax cut will go to 1 percent of the population? Instead, the Democrats run off and hide when the Republicans call this criticism "class warfare." Of course it's class warfare. Guess which class is winning. Hint: it's the class that made it possible for Republicans to outspend Democrats by $181 million in this election. source
Do you know what a Clymer is?
psst... you're one!
I believe this is called "projecting".
