N.O.W. Chief Slams Limbaugh for Fibs, Then Tells Broaddrick Whopper And the say truth is stranger than fiction. More news of the vacant liberal minds. newsmax.com Newly elected National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy slammed talk radio mega-star Rush Limbaugh on Sunday, saying he simply made up much of the information he broadcasts and his nationally syndicated program. But in the next breath Gandy got a key detail completely wrong about Juanita Broaddrick's rape allegation against Bill Clinton, a case that should be well known to any feminist worth her salt. Gandy complained during an interview with WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg when he questioned her about partial birth abortion, a term she said was politically loaded. Then, out of the blue, she unloaded on Limbaugh: MALZBERG: I don't know what you want to call (partial birth abortion) when, at eight-and-a-half months, a woman can decide for any reason at all that she doesn't want to have the baby. GANDY: You are -- you are totally wrong about that. You know, making statements like that, you should be ashamed of yourself. You sound like Rush Limbaugh. MALZBERG: What's wrong with Rush Limbaugh? GANDY: Rush Limbaugh is not bound by the truth. And I would think that a station like WABC really ought not to have a host making statements that are completely and totally false.... MALZBERG: ..... So let me get this straight. Rush isn't bound by the truth? GANDY: C'mon, clearly not. Clearly not. He says whatever he feels like saying. Despite Gandy's focus on truth-telling, moments later the chief feminist falsely insisted that Arkansas prosecutors had fully investigated Juanita Broaddrick's claim that Clinton had raped her in 1978. MALZBERG: What did the group do and what did (former N.O.W. president) Patricia Ireland do with regards to the Juanita Broaddrick charges? There was no investigation. GANDY: We did the same thing that we've done on every other case, which is that we said very clearly and strongly that there ought to be a full and complete investigation. MALZBERG: Was there? GANDY: I believe that there was. MALZBERG: There was a full and complete investigation? The president was asked one question about it, one, by Sam Donaldson.... GANDY: I'm not talking about a media investigation. MALZBERG: But where was the other investigation? Who investigated? GANDY: I'm talking about a criminal investigation. MALZBERG: Who investigated it criminally? Where? GANDY: I assume the district attorney's office did. They were investigating it at the time. MALZBERG: Which district attorney? The DA's office was investigating Juanita Broaddrick's claims? GANDY: They said that they were. Absolutely. MALZBERG: And how did that turn out? GANDY: I don't know. The reason Gandy doesn't know about the results of the district attorney's criminal investigation into Juanita Broaddrick's rape charge is because there never was any such investigation. Not in Little Rock, where the crime allegedly took place. Not anywhere. In fact, Broaddrick didn't come forward until 1999, 16 years after Arkansas' statute of limitations on her rape charge had expired. But the woman who now leads the nation's leading feminist organization evidently never took the time to learn much about Broaddrick's case -- and that speaks volumes about N.O.W. and the most sensational allegation of sexual abuse ever leveled against a high powered politican. Perhaps Mr. Limbaugh, whose broadcast accurately covered Juanita Broaddrick's story at length when she came forward two years ago, could bring Ms. Gandy up to speed. ............... tom watson tosiwmee
