Salon Hyde Expos‚ Spurs Death Threats, Hacks nytimes.com

Oops, I just missed the edit window closing on this additional followon.

Salon wrote Wednesday that Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), who chairs the committee that will decide whether the full House should vote on Clinton's impeachment, had his own affair in the late 1960s. The publication documented the story carefully, putting together photos and interviews with several people close to Hyde and the woman's family. Editors received a statement from Hyde admitting the affair just minutes before the story went live.

Already Talbot has received death threats as a result of his article. Threats have been issued against other top editors. Their fax machine was shut down by a series of "black faxes" -- a tactic in which the sender repeatedly faxes an all-black piece of paper in a deliberate attempt to break the recipient's machine. The magazine stopped accepting incoming e-mail Thursday morning after an avalanche of hate mail and spam clogged their servers.

"We haven't even read most of the hate mail," said Andrew Leonard, the magazine's senior technology writer. "It's not even getting through."


I'm sure many will explain how this little escapade is all the work of brave patriots only concerned for the good of our country, just like the whole Ken Starr operation. Sounds a bit Orwellian to me, but I'm warped. For a supposedly Christian Nation, there seems to be plenty of sinless stone throwers on the allegedly "Christian" side.

Cheers, Dan.

Tom Delay and Newt, seem to be complaining a lot about
White House smear campaigns. Seems their is a 1995
Vanity affair magazine piece about Newt's old affairs.

Delay, I don't know, but if it's out their, the rag
sheets will find out. Rivaldo mentioned an old Dick Army
problem, back when he was a professor, with a few coeds.

Lets hope some type of truce is called, before this gets
too much out of control.

Daniel, re: "And constitutionally, guess who's next in line?"

In reality, it is the person Al Gore appoints as his Vice President when he takes the Oath of Office as President. Al has strong friends in the Congress, and he will select a member of Congress that will result in almost immediate approval and designed to give him a better shot at the next election.

Mr. K.
