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.

Maybe Dan Rather would like to break this story?
I don't know if it is normal. Susan has been given the opportunity to speak with Juanita and hear her side. Too bad that she refused.
Thus Hillary cares little about releasing a (repeat?) rapist into society (on Air Force One, yet). Cares less about women who are true victims. But cares most about her own political power, even if she gets it riding on the boxer shorts of a man.
You beat me to it. This is the story that he an Mary Mapes should have chased for six years.
1. Is there evidence other than her word that this happened?
2. Why did she not go to the police?
Totally agree. Some feminists try to make people believe it is only violence.
It was 1978. She did not come forward because who in Arkansas would be believed? A woman or the attorney general?
Candace Jackson knows about this. I hope she can make use of it at the Lie-brary next Wednesday.
Wasn't she one of the talking heads on Fox who thought Bush should meet with Cindy Sheehan (again)?
Let me ask this - In light of a post just made by Yaelle- could we plan this to take place, oh, say - right at the beginning of HILLARY!'s campaign for President?
"What did she know and when did she know it?" sort of thing.
A "Clinton Rape Camp" at every campaign stop.
Hmm.
If she was, I'd like to see a quote.
Indeed. This must be used against Hillary.
Prayers of God's strength for each of them.
If I watched Fox News, I would call them to account for paying this liar as a Fox News consultant. But as I understand it Fox News settles O'Reilly phone sex bills when he uses Fox's paid employee producers for phone sex. Besides Estrich is just too UGLY to being taken seriously.
I also remember when NBC did the story, they decided to investigate every detail such as her description of when it happened, what buildings were visible, where Clinton was on that date, etc.
Every detail held up.
Lisa Myers was convinced. Dave Schippers female rape investigator policewoman was convinced.
