Andrew, Good article. I agree with the poster that Kevin Hickey and his mother, Juanita B, should pursue criminal charges against Clinton if it is possible under the law. An individual who has spent his adult lifetime as a sexual predator is not going to change overnight. I understand there is another the story of another attack which is yet to be released. She is already being dubbed as Jane Doe #6. Per Lucianne Goldberg, there was an attack but no actual sex in this one. Darrell

The Neal Boortz Show America's Rude Awakening! While I am on the air from 8:30 to Noon (Eastern) you can send me e-mail at wsboortz@yahoo.com! Thursday - February 25, 1999 JUANITA BROADDRICK The real story here is not so much the probability that the President of the United States is an unrepentant rapist. The real story is that the people of the United States don't really seem to have a problem with that. Think about this, folks. We have come to a place --- Bill Clinton has brought us to a place --- where a woman can go on national television and put forth a very credible case that she was raped by the president, and the national reaction is, at best, mild. I watched the interview with my wife. I wanted her there because she would give me a credible read on whether or not Broaddrick was telling the truth. After the segment was over Donna stood up, looked at me and said "He did it." I agree. Juanita Broaddrick was credible. Very credible. She isn't hawking a book. She hasn't sold an interview for money. She just wanted to put false rumors – the rumor that her husband had been paid off by the Clinton's for instance – to rest. As for NBC. All in all, good job. I wasn't thrilled with the way the segment started, though. Jane Pauley made references to the "Latest weapon in a relentless political war against Bill Clinton" and hinted that there are two kinds of people out there, Clinton supporters and Clinton "haters." This is typical media spin, and it faded away as the story unfolded. A weak attempt was made to question Broaddrick's credibility by bringing up the fact that she couldn't remember the exact date the rape took place. Hey, it was 21 years ago. How many of your are surprised about this? Even when it comes to important events --- how many of you can remember the date? NBC discovered the probable date by looking at records of the nursing home association hosting the convention Broaddrick was attending in Little Rock. April 25th, 1998. Sure enough, a search of over 40 Arkansas newspapers shows that Clinton was probably in Little Rock on that day. Also, there are no news accounts of him being involved in meetings or whatever that morning. How about a little White House stonewalling? NBC had to rely on researching 45 newspapers in Arkansas to figure out what Clinton was doing that day because Bill Clinton refused to answer any questions or to release his schedule or records of his whereabouts on that day. It seems we are back to the typical Clinton stonewalling on this issue. An interesting question at the end of the segment. Jane Pauley asked whether or not this has any political relevance. What? Is it possible that the fact that the president of the United States is a rapist would have no political significance? GERALDO --- WHAT A CONSUMATE JERK I was feeling like inflicting some gaping, sucking open wounds on myself after the Broaddrick segment. I didn't want to have to clean up the mess, so I watched a bit of Geraldo instead. Geraldo, of course, was engaged in his usual whoring for Bill Clinton. I do not know one person in the broadcasting industry, and that includes Clinton supporters, who does not believe that Geraldo has lost any semblance of credibility he may have had in the past year with his embarrassing fawning over Bill Clinton. Remember Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler from the Boca Raton area of Florida. Well, he was at it again last night on Geraldo. He said that the whole Broaddrick matter was just another example of the politics of personal destruction. Wexler also said that there was no evidence put forth. What is Wexler talking about? There was plenty of evidence put forth. Broaddrick's story is evidence. Her husband's story is evidence. Norma Rogers is evidence. The fact that she was in Little Rock on April 25th is evidence. The fact that there was a nursing conference at the Camelot Hotel is evidence. That old jail sitting on the banks of the river is evidence. The more you listen to Wexler the more you suspect that this is a of very little intellectual substance. MSNBC POLLING After the Dateline NBC Broaddrick segment last night MSNBC.com started running a survey. There still may be time to participate if you go to msnbc.com When I checked the poll results this morning almost 21,000 people had participated. Here are the results: After seeing the interview with Juanita Broaddrick, do you find her allegations credible? Yes – 83% No – 12% Not sure – 5% Are the allegations relevant to President Clinton's performance in office? Yes – 75% No – 20? Not sure – 5% Do you approve of President Clinton's performance in office? Yes – 19% No – 75% Not sure – 6% Should NBC have broadcast the interview? Yes – 85% No – 12% Not sure – 3% So, there you have it. Another Internet poll that shows overwhelming disapproval of Bill Clinton and a belief that he is a rapist. Why the difference with other polls? Easy. You had to be on the Internet to participate in this poll. That means you have to have access to a computer and know how to use it. That means that you are smarter than the average bear. The smarter you are, the more you realize that Clinton is bad, bad news. MAYBE THE NEXT SCANDAL? Again, I'm speaking of that little Arkansas Blood scandal. You remember --- the scandal where tainted blood was collected from Arkansas prisoners and sold in Canada? It seems that Bill Clinton ran interference for the company harvesting and marketing the blood. Now it seems that Clinton will soon be receiving a subpoena from Canadians infected by HIV-tainted blood. The victims want to interview Clinton under oath as part of a $5-billion US lawsuit, Neverending. I WONDER HOW THESE PEOPLE FEEL TODAY. Maybe you know some of them. If you would like to see a list of people who have contributed to Clinton's legal defense fund use this URL [ tray.com ]Enter your state and read the list. Wouldn't you be proud to see YOUR name there? I just gave the Georgia list a brief glance this morning ... here are some names I ran across. NATHALIE DUPREE --- your friendly local television chef, contributed $100. J.B. FUQUA --- your friendly local tycoon gave $10,000 CHARLES W. WALKER, your friendly local Georgia State Senate Majority Leader who likes to strong-arm lobbyists into doing business with his son, gave $250. Notably absent, liberal mouthpiece Tom Houck and his pal Bill Campbell. Hey, Mr. Mayor, if you want a nice spot in the upcoming Gore administration you had better get with the program. The price of one round-trip airline ticket to Chicago wouldn't have been too big a price to pay to help your pal Bill out of his legal jams, would it? By the way ... as you scroll through the list of donors pay particular attention the occupation of the donors. Just what do you think came in first? "Retired," that's what. The blue-hairs who think Clinton is the man who is going to save their precious Medicare and Social Security for them. JUST WHOSE BALLS WERE THEY? Yesterday I asked a question. Whose testicles once sat in a jar on the desk of an Arkansas Sheriff? Amazingly, the most common guess on whose testicles were in the jar was Hillary Clinton. Sorry, incorrect. The nads belonged to one Wayne Dumond, currently serving time in Arkansas on an incredibly flimsy rape case. One of Bill Clinton's last acts as governor was to refuse to commute Dumond's sentence. Oh, by the way --- Dumond was accused of raping a relative of Bill Clintons. boortz.com
