If there is anything that even vaguely resembles a "vast, right-wing conspiracy," it is headed by the owner of the newspaper in which the article appeared, Richard Mellon Scaife, who has funded various anti-Clinton projects. Actually, "owner" is probably not the right word. It's part of the not-so-secret conspiracy to elect conservatives and destroy liberal leaders. And consider the context -- a sports opinion column. This wasn't presented as news. If it were, at a reputable newspaper, it couldn't have been offered without doing any homework on it. But there's nothing to indicated that the reporter (whom I knew when I was a reporter in Pittsburgh, and boy, am I disappointed in him) even tried to confirm the story. But then again, once you decide to work for Scaife, why bother? It's pretty pathetic when even the sports writers jump on the bandwagon. And consider that the quote from Clinton describes it as "unbelievable." By the way... the first computers I ever used were located in Scaife Hall at CMU. I learned to swim in Andrew Mellon's pool (he donated his mansion to my father's college). My mother taught Scaife's daughters. My first checking account was at Mellon Bank. In Pittsburgh, one can hardly spit without hitting something produced or funded by Scaifes and Mellons. They are old, old, big, big money folks. So, John, what do *you* think of Richard Mellon Scaife??? Do you think he'll ever stop his campaign to discredit Clinton?
