Hmmmm, sounds suspiciously like the "Alger Hiss" Defense.

But without the pumpkin. Halloween isn't here yet.

Ooooo; you're good! Very good!

It is amazing, however, to note the similarity in this former Dover School Board Official's hypertechnical defense that he didn't know who paid for the books because he didn't know the individual names of the donors from his church, and Hiss's hypertechnical defense for testifying that he did NOT know Whittacker Chambers because he knew him by a different name. Both played "word games" under oath with intent to deceive, and both got caught.

The only variation on the common theme is Hiss blamed mystery men using his typwriter, while this dufus in Dover blames his medication. In the end it is a distinction without a difference. Both lied under oath with intent.

I guess you could say that makes Buckingham a "fellow traveler" of Hiss.

;-)
