flickerful, this is really quite baffling to me. We have Willey coming out of the Oval Office all smudged up, and Tripp seeing her, which is corroboration, and also the fact that a major part of the talking points document (whoever wrote it) is about coaching Tripp to change her story and say it was now completely plausible that Willey had disheveled herself.

I would be inclined to say that it is impossible to tell whether Willey is telling the truth at this point, except that Mr. Landow is being investigated by the FBI for urging her to change her story. Willey has also stated that attorney Bennett threatened her. Willey's testimony, if true, is really the straw that breaks the camel's back for feminists and others who found something suspicious about the other women who came forward, and I am sure the White House has known that for some time. So I am getting cynical enough that it is plausible to me, at least, that Steele and Landow are working on the same team.

But I don't really know!!! Has anyone investigated Steele yet? Thanks for posting the story, flickerful.

Christine

Is anyone surprised to learn that David Kendall, Clinton's personal attorney, represents the National Enquirer?

Or that there have been efforts by that august journal to report dirt on Starr?

Meanwhile, the Enquirer pays out $7,000 to a Julie Steele for a photo of Kathleen Willey -- days after Steele decided to recant the account she gave Newsweek confirming Willey's version of the lascivious treatment she received at the hands of one President Clinton -- and no one questions the credibility of Steele's recanting. Wasn't it Gennifer Flowers who went unbelieved because a tabloid gave her money?

Now that we know that Steele is into commerce, I wonder about any price tag for changing her story after so many months? The media seems to be neglecting that obvious angle.

Hmmm. Very interesting. Now, I think, we need to know what was "different" about Willey's story as she told it to her prospective publisher in January....
