[CTRL] SnoOwl: Drudge Report//agreement
-Caveat Lector- SnoOwl: On this one, I am in total agreement with you. This feces is getting sickening! If this turns out to be a farce, as so many of Drudge's "reports" have proven to be, here's hoping Clinton sues this man a new bung-hole. No one is served by this kind of tripe. Edward The absolute nastiness of this sort of stuff is that Drudge and his like know that it doesn't matter if the story is true or not. The story will stick in the public mind and no one will pay much attention to the refutation--if and when it comes. This is the total corruption of journalism and does not relate to "news." It is the very core of character assassination--whether it has to do with Richard Jewel or Bill Clinton or whoever. And this group is suspect for being titillated by this kind of garbage. Let Drudge wait until the DNA test comes through. Only then is there a story.or no story at all. The name of Drudge's story is "The Humiliation of the U.S. President." No one deserves to be treated this way in the press. Even Larry Flynt knows better. sno0wl []===[] "Go for goats, Bill. They don't talk."

It is one thing to privately think that yes, the SOB is probably guilty of whatever happens to be said about him and it is another for the, so far, unsupported, rumor to be published. Got it? Jerry Regarding the Danny Williams story, it's really an old story. I was aware of it back in 1993 or 1994 and I'm sure many others on the list were as well. Back then some "Christian" outfit out of Louisiana was trying to make hay with it, mailing and faxing it to all corners. But all they got was a "So what?," which may be all it merits anyway. However, the story has refused to go away and all the basic facts have remained the same. My point is that if this story is 5 years old and has remained substantially unchanged in that time, and hasn't been debunked in that period, that in itself gives it, if not credibility, the worth of a look-see. Add to that the fact that Danny is the "spiting image" of the alleged dad and you've got something that's worth the effort of a tabloid press. And let's face it, virtually all of the press is tabloid these days. Which brings me to the question, why should Clinton be off limits? Hollywood celebrities are not, nor are most other politicians. Now those who would defend this story as pertinent say it is because it would expose the president as a "deadbeat dad" and therefore a hypocrite. Even at that point people can choose sides and debate, and even then the debate will probably devide between Clinton lovers and haters; it is unlikely that hypocricy will play any greater role in that debate than truth and honesty play in the current one. BTW, my memory is fuzzy now, but I vaguely recall on first reading this story (5 years ago) that it indicated that Danny and his mother were "being taken care of." Could be wrong on that but if true it would negate the deadbeat dad charge. If true, regardless of the reasons, Clinton could actually turn it to his political advantage. But beyond the tabloid quality of the story. I too would rather that it didn't exist, but I do think that it has legitimacy. I say that because I believe in full disclosure from those who would be our leaders. I'm old fashiioned; I still think that character matters. Having said that, let me say that I don't believe that a healthy libido, occassional lapses in judgment, nor ocasasional indiscretions are necessarily indications of poor character. However, deceit, covering up, failing to accept personal responsibility - these ARE indications of poor character. No, the Danny story isn't a nice one, but it is a legitimate one. Rather than saying that members of the press are sick, mean, or dirty because they are pursuing this story, I would feel much worse about them if they buried it as they tend to do with so many others.
