I'm not giving credence to the report. The Times, Forbes and historian
Paul Kengor does.

This is of course an example of the Ad Hominem technique that Ted
Kennedy excelled at:

EMK on Bork:

"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into
back-alley abortions. Blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters,
rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids,
school children could not be taught about evolution."

EMK on Ronald Reagan:

"He should not be able to reach out from the muck of Irangate, reach
into the muck of Watergate and impose his reactionary vision of the
Constitution on the Supreme Court and on the next generation of
Americans."

EMK alleging moral equivalence between Georg W Bush and Saddam Hussein:

"We now learn," "that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new
management — U.S. management."
