That explains why the story died. Here's the problem: 1) No one claims the rape except Broaddick. She saw the nurse after her alleged incident. Everything is her say-so. Any bruises or other things are claimed, but no quotes from the nurse. I'll read the reference to see if there's anything there. 2) This story you link is an obvious attempt to add credibility by sneaky use of the following kinds of language: a) constant use of "The Journal reports", when, in fact, it wasn't the Journal that made any claim, it was the Journal quoting Broaddrick, period. Everything else is of the same sort, including the subsequent meeting with Clinton. You and I both know rape goes vastly unreported. I have daughters, and a nice big decorative shotgun by the door when their dates came over, and we had a nice get-acquainted chat as well. You and I both also know that publicity is not just limited to people with real problems, and people like Broaddrick are unfortunately known to make up highly elaborate stories, which media hounds pick up for pure airplay, regardless of the lack of corroboration. Were this a case that had actual corroboration it would be in court. We're further asked to believe she lied when she denied in in an affidavitt, then changed her story. If that's true, it is indeed a tragedy. But there is no way to fix that short of additional corroboration. And it strains credibility. And it certainly makes it a story not likely to be followed up by the media, just because she changed her story, unless something convincing is presented. You are very emotional about it, and seem absolutely convinced. I don't see it. I'll also read the referenced WSJ article, but if it any better quotes, I'm sure this story would have printed them.
