[Virginia Queen]

Despite the fact that she is a Dem and that she likes Willie, I have always liked and respected Susan. But here I must part with her. She is a rape victim and she should know better. She teaches law, and she should know better. People who have been raped all react differently, etc. Yes, there is a "general" pattern that most follow, but you cannot put anyone who has lived through that in a box. Sometimes I think it is worse to be raped by someone you know than by a stranger. At least you never see the stranger again (except in court), but if it is someone you know, you are often required to continue interacting with the rapist and members of his family. So many things go through a victim's mind. I have heard Susan say she doesn't believe Juanita; but I know in my heart that if she were to meet Juanita face-to-face, she would know Juanita is not lying. Perhaps that is what Susan is afraid of - she doesn't want to have to face the fact that Bill Clinton would do such a thing. Again, a very disappointing reaction from someone who is, in so many ways, so intelligent and reasonable.

Makes more sense than Susan Estrich simply being "not interested" in meeting Mrs. Broaddrick.
