At 11:37 am this morning, I received an email from USC professor of law, Susan Estrich.
After hearing Estrich discuss her new Hillary book with Sean Hannity on October 11, I was a little upset. Estrich was essentially calling our friend Juanita Broaddrick a liar. She had spoken with her friend Bill Clinton, and, of course, Bill denied that he raped Juanita. That was good enough for Estrich. Bill could lie to his wife, lie to his daughter, lie to his attorney, lie to his secretary, lie to reporters, lie to his cabinet, lie to the court, and lie to the American people while pointing his finger at us, but by some cosmic mystery that is beyond human comprehension, Bill would not lie to her. Okay then. So, Juanita was not telling the truth. She is a liar. Unfortunately, this teacher of law students, this officer of the court, this person who purports to be so fair and open-minded, had not heard the other side of the story. She has never spoken with Juanita. Yet, Juanita is a liar. A known liar and perjurer told her so. Well, something needed to be done about that.
An initial conversation was held with Ms. Estrich's secretary at USC inquiring about the willingness of Estrich to speak with Juanita if it could be arranged. That was followed up with an email.
Juanita then contacted me through FReepmail with the good news -- she wanted to meet with Susan. She had some things she wanted to tell her. Certainly, Estrich, as a fellow rape survivor, would be interested in speaking with Juanita, right?
Another phone call and email to Estrich's office gave her the good news. Apparently, it was not very good news to Estrich. Here is the email received from her this morning ---
What? She is not interested? A fellow rape survivor wants to speak with her after comments were made on a radio show and Estrich is not interested?
If she were honest, rather than merely being a Bill Clinton sick-o-fant, here is the email she should have sent to me ---
If anyone is interested in taking some action, I would appreciate your help. Until Estrich speaks with Juanita and hears her story, why would any talk show host on our side have the sick-o-fant on the air to sell her book? If you participate on blogs, please spread the word.
We all know why Estrich won't meet with her. She is afraid to hear the truth. If she heard the truth, it would be an incredible moral dilemma. How does a rape survivor side with a rapist against a fellow rape survivor and dare show herself on television ever again?
Just imagine her course of action had the rapist been named Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, or George W. Bush.
Susan, I once had some respect for you when you and I had good discussions on your Los Angeles weekend radio show. Now, the sight of you and the sound of your voice simply make me ill. You are a phony.

Indeed, I do agree with you completely. That invasion of one's personal space and the threat implied must have had a long term chilling effect.
I haven't read his book yet.
Go DFU Go! Keep the heat on! Estrich is showing her true spineless colors.
Juanita and Kathleen are taking it to Bill and Hillary, and I suspect we will be hearing more.
Must have been a blind man that raped Susan Ostrich. Or maybe it was really dark.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Even a twerp like Christopher Shays said he believed that, after viewing the evidence, Clinton raped JB twice. Of course, the schmuck didn't find this impeachable.
Well said.
I predict that someday, when the former philanderer in Chief has died of AIDS or some other STD, and Hitlary has been fettered off to the Socialist's Old Folks home, that many many women who were previously afraid of Arkancide will come foward with stories of brutal rape by Slick Willie.
Come on. That doesn't help. Rape, of course, has a sexual element, but it really is about control and violence.
The problem with Susan Estrich is that she has little if any respect for the truth. She doesn't care whether Juanita Broderick got raped or whether Bill Clinton is lying about anything.
The first priority of every chick is simple: Chicks want MORE, more stuff, more money, more power, more freedom, more fun, more, more, more . . . That is what being a chick is all about. It has nothing to do with morals and truthtelling. Chicks just want MORE.
Bill Clinton got elected by promising chicks MORE and getting their votes. He got re-elected by using the presidency to give chicks MORE. Bill Clinton was "Big Daddy" for every female voter. That explains his presidency.
That is why Susan Estrich supports Clinton. It has nothing to do with truthtelling. She cares nothing about truth and the facts of what happened to some other girl. She herself is a chick and Clinton gave chicks MORE in order to get their votes.

Actually, for Susan, it is about political agenda.
Kathleen is still scared about being out in the public with this. She is that much more concerned for the rest of the country should Hillary get elected.
Lots of dead people around the Clintons, so it is an issue of concern.
Why are men supposed to shy away from the truth because otherwise chicks might get mad?
That's my whole point about what has gone wrong within the male mind. Truth is our business, men's business, and truth should not be ignored and buried because chicks might get mad at it.

Likewise, I hope that you and bill clinton aren't the same just because you are the same gender. Because he wanted more and more. More flesh to bruise, more women to rape.
Don't put all your (chicken) eggs in one basket. You're Big Daddy was no better than chicken feed to me. OF COURSE I didn't vote for the likes of him to be president! He was unfit for that distinquished office before the-masses-are-the-asses stupidly voted for him. His real character (or, more to point, lack of it) after he got elected was on display for all the world to see.
And what does that say about his ambitious, shameless wife that she did not kick him the hell out of her life?
Oh no! Not them in the White House again! Conservatives have to pull out all the stops...the Clinton connivers must be exposed without mercy or timidity. If Hil is given the soft-glove treatment, conservatives with a voice can blame themselves.
I'm not a "chick", thank you very much.
I would tend to think you view men just as homogeneously as I view females. Right? (C'mon, admit it.)
I'm not as bad as you think, either. Do you really expect a man not to try very hard to find the truth? (I am a man, after all.)
DA740
Absolutely not, so I can't admit it. My ex is a lying, cheating, lazy drunk and I despise everyone like him, male or female. My significant other and the rest of my friends are smart, honest and delightful, male and female.
I don't think you're bad, just the victim of your experiences. You can recover, no big deal.
Too many "once-married" women and men have similar experiences and I know some of them. Do these people do a 180 after they walk down the aisle or does the other party to the marriage choose to ignore the tell-tale signs?
At times I've wondered if some marriages were a mistake in the first place. I recall my Mother's words to me: "There are a million reasons why people marry" (the one they marry, she obviously meant.)
