I would agree and thank you.Thank you for the post of the picture, its good for scaring any wild rodents away. I think it confirms that Susan makes Helen Thomas look beautiful,arg!
How could she support Hillary if she knew the truth? Oh, that's right. She's a DemocRAT. Never mind.
We can't be saying we believe Juanita but don't believe Susan. I don't have anything to make me not believe that Susan was also a victim.
1. I remember when this story was hot. I was reading a lot about it and following the TV interviews. I concluded that our President was a rapist. The evidence is overwhelming. Particluarly the statements of her family and the roomate at the conference.
2. Estrich should be held to the fire on this. She has, to some degree, used rape as a badge of courage and source of credibility. It is absolutely outrageous for her to turn a blind eye to a victim.
3. I think as a poster above pointed out, she doesn't want to believe it's true, so she has no choice but to avoid it.
What do you want to bet that she'd be chomping at the bit to 'discuss' the situation if someone accused President Bush of the same thing.
Well, what evidence do we have that Susan is telling the truth? The rapist was never found. Maybe the "good" girl was having a little fun with a guy she knew and afterward she got scared she might get pregnant, so she cried rape. Odd that the cops could not find the rapist. What kind of description did she give them? Hummmmm? I think maybe if several of us send Ms Susan e-mails concerning our difficulty in believing her "story", maybe she will catch on to how Juanita feels about being called a liar.
Sure, but I think an even bigger motive for Estrich is that if Hillary is elected president, Susan could expect to receive a high government appointment. I don't know that Hillary would actually appoint her Attorney General or Solicitor General, but perhaps Deputy AG, a Court of Appeals judgeship or a US Attorney might be realistic.
And good on ya' Doug, for all you're doing.
You're right, John. It is about the presidency. Susan knows the damage this could do to Bill and to Hillary. She can't let it happen. Maybe Susan envisions being the next AG, following in the footsteps of the well-respected Janet Reno.
Nan, I won't question Susan's claim because I don't want Juanita's questioned.
What if it was DeLay?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA --- okay, folks, it is time to FReep Greta

Dick Morris Doesn't Want To Take Susan Estrich On
Susan Estrich appeared with Greta Van Susteren tonight to plug her book, A Case for Hillary and Greta mentioned that Dick Morris won't appear with Susan Estrich to discuss their dueling books. Morris just came out with Condi vs Hillary. Greta told Estrich. "I think he's afraid of you" and then made a bold and taunting announcement in a half teasing tone.
" Let it be known. Dick Morris doesn't want to take Susan Estrich on." 10/14/05
i was raped when I was twelve. I'm now forty seven. I have just recently felt a need to confront my rapists. There is no standard reaction to rape.
Juanita did not repeatedly claim nothing happened. She never wanted to come forward. That is why she naively signed an affidavit in order to stay out of court and not be put through the pain again in public. She told people contemporaneously about what happened to her. Her roommate came back to the room after the rape. There was only one man who had been in that room -- the attorney general of Arkansas.
"Impeachment mess" -- that is what you think it was? The man who was the chief law enforcement officer tried to deny a woman her day in court. He committed perjury and suborned perjury in an effort to fix a federal sexual harassment trial. Evidence was destroyed and witnesses were intimidated. I find it hard to believe you are someone who has been here since 2000.
I agree with your post # 138 also.
So far, we are on the same page in the same book.
Please stop making the comments you are making about rape victims. This thread has the potential to be very important. Thanks.
