Boo hoo, poor baby. My twisted thoughts. This so-called sanity thread is hardly a place for rational discussion, as your "twist my words" comment indicates. Let's back up to where I allegedly started twisting your words.

<"...I can just see the Starr guys when they find something they can't back up. "Let's leak it to Drudge, he'll propagate anything!"...">

Daniel, lets get real, shall we?

Consider the reputations of both principles (Starr and Clinton) and their respective teams and tactics.

Do you honestly believe in your heart of hearts that the leaks were coming from Starr and his team ?


Who leaked to Drudge, jimpit? Leaks in general, it's a DC industry, everybody does it. You concoct this theory about Clinton operatives leaking stuff damaging to Drudge, and then give me this "get real" lecture for disputing it. If I wanted to know more about your particular twisted thoughts on the subject, I'm sure I could find out more than I ever wanted to on your spin thread. That's your spin.

Where did Drudge get the Lewinsky story, jimpit? You got this theory that Starr and Co. are beyond reproach. Dubious, I'd say, given the history of his "secret" grand jury proceedings, and the Starr-Scaife connection. You think Clinton operatives leaked to Drudge? Ever? I think you're the twisted one here. About as unreal a theory as I've seen.

As to the relative reputations of Clinton and Starr, I don't think either has much reputation to worry about at this point. But in terms of public perception, I think Starr ranks somewhat lower. You think this is all Clinton spin? Fine, you've joined the ranks of the many here who consider all who disagree with the perception of Clinton as the antichrist to be idiots. I'm sorry that the apparent majority of people in the US agree with my "twisted thoughts", but I think you'll have to come up with a better theory if you want to change any minds.
