Meanwhile, did you notice how quickly that Juanita Brodderick story blew by? I read something about a "sharply-worded" press release by NOW leader Patricia Ireland saying that these were serious allegations and that Juanita should not be subjected to the "nuts and sluts" (I don't know if those were Ireland's words or the reporters) attack that all the other women have been. Then, no more mention. But we still hear how Quayle can't spell potato. <edit> Here it is:NOW Calls on Clinton to Foreswear "Nuts or Sluts" Defense, Work with Congress to Strengthen Women's Rights Laws now.org Ireland calles Juanita's story "particularly compelling". Also:Now that she has come forward with her story, the National Organization for Women urges everyone to treat Juanita Broaddrick fairly and respectfully and to take her charges seriously. She must not be besieged by attacks on her mental state or character. NOW calls on President Clinton to denounce this "nuts or sluts" defense, the argument that she either made it up or asked for it. The president should pledge publicly not to seek, or leak, irrelevant sexual history or other parts of Ms. Broaddrick's personal or work life, and not to let anyone do so on his behalf. </edit> BTW, from Drudge:NBC SET TO RESTRICT BROADDRICK FOOTAGE NBC NEWS executives are washing Juanita Broaddrick right out of their hair. NBC NEWS has issued an order restricting the use of Juanita Broaddrick's DATELINE interview, it has been learned. Effective March 1 at 12:01 AM, NBC outlets will be restricted from using the exclusive Broaddrick footage. "No wonder the White House isn't concerned, no one will see her anymore," one frustrated MSNBC anchor said off-the-air. MSNBC and CNBC producers will have to work through NBC lawyers, on a case by case basis, to receive authorization to use any of the Lisa Myers/Broaddrick session. NBC NEWS President Andy Lack could not be reached for comment on Sunday.
