"did you notice" I missed the interview but I have noticed what a slippery, sleazy POS he is. I am kind of surprised the left wing extremists aren't putting him up on a pedestal. I don't see much difference between him and bill clinton.

"I don't see much difference between him and bill clinton." OK maybe I went too far. There are some differences. He hasn't been charged and convicted of any felonies, accused of rape, assault, and harassment, hasn't been disbarred....etc. Maybe the lefties need more to go on before they can rally in his support.

I know you're making a joke about what brees did (Thanks, I enjoyed it!), but when a post-game talking head, some blond i've seen before, actually said Condit had done that, I was amazed. I wonder if she had gotten the idea from this board or from someone who reads this board and been persuaded that enough people who didn't see the interview would believe it to make it worthwhile saying. She didn't use 'distaste,' or 'repeatedly,' she used 'mention,'dislike of,' and 'truth.' I know Condit is a liar, but that astonished me as much as what brees said did. I almost fell off the bed! The moderator didn't let it pass unchallenged, and the woman who said it had no defenders (nobody said 'fair comment,' for example) and she immediately retracted. I was relieved to see that-- it reminded me there are sane people out there. I wonder if there is anyone here who thinks the retraction was proper, or do you all take the 'extrapolation' and 'conclusion' case you take here and feel the talking head's tossed-in remark, "Condit kept mentioning his dislike of the truth..." should have been allowed to stand unchallenged, and if it was challenged, been defended by Condit's critics? 1) Was she right to say that? 2) Was the moderator wrong to challenge the conclusion she had drawn and presented as an attribution? 3) Were the allies of the speaker wrong not to defend her statement as 'fair comment,' and 'conclusion' based on 'extrapolation'?
