University of Arkansas Professor Margaret Scranton has told reporters that her much ballyhooed course on the presidency of Bill Clinton won't ignore the myriad of scandals that plagued the ex-president's eight years in the White House.

But apparently there's one scandal the presidential historian won't be covering - Juanita Broaddrick's allegation the she was raped by Clinton in 1978.

Here's how Ms. Scranton handled the issue when questioned last week on MSNBC's "Nachman" show by WABC Radio duo John Batchelor and Paul Alexander.

ALEXANDER: Professor, will you deal with the rape allegations?

SCRANTON: Frankly, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

ALEXANDER: You didn't follow the story? How about Juanita Broaddrick?

SCRANTON: Several people have sent me the Broaddrick material. We have a lot of what I call sort of unsolicited (material) people want the students to be aware of.

BATCHELOR: No, it was on NBC for...

ALEXANDER: It aired on television. Rape allegations. Juanita Broaddrick.

BATCHELOR: You can see them.

NACHMAN: Well let me jump in here. Professor...

SCRANTON: I have three copies. Thank you very much. (End of Excerpt)

I think KP said she gave your copy to the staffer. Someone must have a copy. The professor already has 3 copies???

I just sent an email to the young Republicans at the U of A asking for their help in distributing info to the brainwashed students. Let's hope they respond and join in a FReep.

[doug from upland]

Duh. Now I see the 3 copies she has.

I wish I heard the interview. First she is unaware of the rape allegations and then admits to having three copies of the interview and we're asked to trust these people to teach our children. Apparently she learned quite well from her subject.
