Journalists are getting awfully lazy these days...a quick check of the of PDR would show Placidyl isn't a pain killer at all but a sedative hypnotic used to induce sleep similar to Quaaludes. Neither can be sold in the US anymore. They were supposed to be used for a month or less. It seems Justice Rehnquist had been taking them for over a decade.

The file also offers insight into the hallucinations and other symptoms of withdrawal that Rehnquist suffered when he was taken off a prescription painkiller in 1981.

This is extremely common. The FBI are idiots. It is disgusting how they pile loads of bullshit into these files along with actual facts.

>>The making of a new urban myth, i.e., that Rehnquist was hallucinating throughout his tenure. Watch the Dems take off with this one.

I already am, on a neutral forum I'm on. Idiots.

Dude, nice find! I'ver never seen that referenced anywhere, ever. And I'm pretty much a news junkie and this still managed to escape my notice. Was there anything else linking Craig the Bouncer to Gore or the DNC prior to Hillary showing up?

No, other than that picture, I've never seen it mentioned before!

Other than that, I remember hearing that the deal Clinton made with Gore -- so Gore would stop running and be his VP candidate -- was that Gore got to do the White House hiring on a LOT of positions!

Amazing, isn't it?

I am no less impressed..... If you got anything else on the pre-1992 Livingstone, I'd love to see it.
