BLAST FROM THE PAST

Monica and George Are Hot, Not Juanita

     As the networks compete to promote multi-million-dollar book deals by Monica Lewinsky and George Stephanopoulos, a lady who sought no book deal -- Juanita Broaddrick -- is still being ignored by the networks. ABC's Nightline has done nothing, and World News Tonight hasn't aired a full story. CBS Evening News did one story, CBS This Morning nothing. NBC Nightly News has never shown it s own network's exclusive Broaddrick interview, but they did air exclusive footage of NBC's interview with Monica Lewinsky's father and stepmother. NPR and PBS haven't gone beyond one story. It's not like they haven't had angles to consider:

      February 25: New liberal MSNBC Equal Time co-host Cynthia Alksne declared: "I've been a supporter. This is hard for me, but we're at rape. This is over the line for me and I think women everywhere deserve a better answer than a global denial out of David Kendall. I think they deserve the President of the United States to tell them what happened. Why am I, why is that unfair?" Soon after, MSNBC said she'd been "relieved of her duties" (while she remains an MSNBC legal analyst) and claimed it had nothing to do with her stand. The networks didn't wonder otherwise.

     February 26: Vice President Gore held a White House event on domestic violence. He proclaimed: "Physical brutality at the hands of a partner or spouse is not simply love gone wrong, or someone needing to blow off steam at the end of the day. It is criminal assault, pure and simple. We don't do anybody any favors, least of all the abusers, when we ignore it." Associated Press reporter Sonya Ross reported it without any Broaddrick mention. On ABC's Good Morning America, anchor Antonio Mora blandly previewed: "And Vice President Gore announces $223 million in grants to communities to fight domestic violence." U.S. News writer Michael Barone did mention the event in passing on CNN's Inside Politics that day. Also on that day, Sen. James Jeffords told a radio audience how Clinton's behavior with Broaddrick was "a private matter," but he later apologized. TV coverage? Zero.

     March 4: Hillary Clinton declared in a speech at the United Nations: "It is no longer acceptable to say that the abuse and mistreatment of women is cultural. It should be called what it is -- criminal." AP and UPI wire stories did not include the quote, and The New York Times carried it, but made no reference to Broaddrick. TV coverage? Zero.

     That morning, Washington Post reporter John Harris revealed HHS Secretary Donna Shalala said she hasn't decided whether Clinton raped Broaddrick, and didn't need to to do her job. TV stories? Zero.

     March 7: Linda Tripp appeared on ABC's This Week, and cleared up questions about a taped conversation with Lewinsky referring to a 158-minute Clinton phone call to "Juanita." Tim O'Brien gave the first World News Tonight mention in summarizing Tripp's answer: "Tripp said that was a different Juanita. Tripp said it is not Juanita Broaddrick, who recently accused the President of having raped her 20 years ago....So who is the new Juanita? Perhaps one more tantalizing breath in a scandal many had hoped would breathe its last." The only other coverage was a Tripp clip and follow-up question from Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Late Edition.

     March 8: Broaddrick's son Kevin Hickey appeared on CNN's Larry King Live, and CNN's Jeff Greenfield was amazed that ex-Clinton aides Dee Dee Myers and David Gergen wouldn't defend Clinton and said he should address the charge. TV coverage? Zero, not even on CNN's Inside Politics or The World Today the next day. -- Tim Graham

Oh gads, I missed the interview, but my heart goes out to Juanita. I simply do not understand having to force people against their will. There are enough consenting adults on the earth that will participate in anything anyone can possibly think of. I am sadly sure that there are women out there who would participate with the king of slime if he asked. And I am very sure they would participate in any sick rape fantasy he might harbor. gagaggagagagaggaagag (Monica's words, not mine :( )

[Lawgvr1955]

Put some ice on it, Hillary.

It would probably just raise her temperature a few degrees ...

Excellent line!!!

missus clinton's REAL virtual office update

[lainie]

Right, especially since (as she said) she invited him to her room, etc. This was pre no-means-no.

[Reelect President Dubya]

but IF ever JB were to wish to (and she doesn't want the hassle) PROVE that he raped her, then teh MEDIA could not ignore it...

The only way I am aware of to "prove" a rape is with DNA evidence or eyewitness accounts. The DNA possibility passed within a few hours of the attack, and Juanita has never mentioned any witnesses.

I am sorry you can't let go of this. It's sad.

[Reelect President Dubya]

"It's time to let go." = Hillary Clinton elected president in 2008.

Let me guess: you were one of the numbskulls screaming "Dubya betrayed us" when Ari Fleischer told the press he would sign the AWB renewal if it hit his desk.

Amazing how I can read minds, isn't it?

[lainie]

Here's another blast, from the week after the impeachment trial. David Kendall and Joe Lockhart are on record as having called Mrs. Broaddrick a liar, too.

[doug from upland]

Actually there was a woman who could have been called as a witness. Norma Rogers (or Kelsey; one of those is her married name now) was Juanita's roommate at the conference. She knew Juanita was having a meeting with Clinton. When she came back to the room, she found Juanita in shock and bloodied. The janitor had not been in the room. The bellboy had not been in the room. The doorman had not been in the room. The porter had not been in the room. The food service guy had not been in the room. And Juanita did not do it to herself. There was one person who had been in that room with Juanita --- the attorney general of Arkansas.

[doug from upland]

"Any allegation that the president assaulted Mrs Broaddrick more than 20 years ago is absolutely false," he said. "Beyond that, we're not going to comment." --- David Kendall

That was brilliant, albeit evil, on Kendall's part. He did not rape her when he was the president. Carter was the president in 1978, and he didn't rape her. Juanita's last name at the time was Hickey.

[Exit148]

Nuts! I missed it! But---thanks to all of you for the review.

Juanita Broaddrick has more integrity in her little finger than Hillary has in her whole being. A warm, wonderful woman. I hope her comments on Hillary help to put a damper on, or bring down, Hillary's prospects. Wouldn't that be justice!!

Well -- it wouldn't be justice. Nothing can make up what that animal did to Juanita, but if it can help put blocks in Hillary's path, we will all be delighted.

[FreedomFlyer]

I thought that she was advised that she couldn't win a rape charge against the AG, not that it wasn't actually rape underr AK law.

I checked the law. It most definitely was rape in AK at the time.

[HAL9000]

"Let me guess: you were one of the numbskulls screaming "Dubya betrayed us" when Ari Fleischer told the press he would sign the AWB renewal if it hit his desk."

So far, you're batting 0.000. I said it the smart thing to do was get it out of the election cycle, and then let it die - and I remain an ardent Bush supporter.

"Amazing how I can read minds, isn't it?"

Perhaps you should leave politics, anti-Clinton strategy and mind-reading to the pros.

[lainie]

Well yeah, that's what we were saying she said. But we're all getting punchy -- AK is Alaska :-)

[arasina]

duh -- Clinton supports "reflect" the Clintons

I'm sure glad you clarified that. I thought you wanted to re-elect the Clintons! LOL

[doug from upland]

It had nothing to do with winning a rape charge against the AG. She was afraid for her life.

[FreedomFlyer]

How would DNA Prove rape? That would simply prove sex, and there isn't really any dispute on that point. DNA evidence would add little. It's consent and force that are the issues.

Bill Bennett and a reporter both publicly said that the White House admitted to them separately that Clinton was in her hotel room on that date.

Broaddrick's nurse friend supported the contemporaneous rape claim and the nearly severed lip from the alleged torture.

On the larger point, bringing up the past about Bill has little chance of harming Hillary's chances in 2008, which are pretty good.

[cricket]

"She's morally obligated to do so. I hope she has a change of heart."

Yes, it is a funny thing about 'Moral obligations'. . .she is obligated . .and I hope she does have a change of heart as well. . .

[cricket]

"Don't worry so much about everyone knowing how bad the Clintons are."

. . .would like to see their 'Justice' in my lifetime; but you are right; nothing will get them; just wish voices of truth would at least put them back under the rock from whence they came.
