"The paper of record"? ..... or .... "that left wing, liberal rag"?
Tweety, Gilmore, and McMahon on Hairballs discussing that pointless piece of shit article the Times ran page-one-above-the-fold about the Clinton marriage.

Tweety refers to the Times as 'the paper of record'.

Funny how that description changes with the story.

This is a typical media lie. It wasn't a mistake. It was an intentional fucking lie.

The Times is neither paper of record nor liberal. Those two memes are ancient history.

1. Tweety is obsessed with the Clintons
and always has been. What I don't understand is why the article is even newsworthy. I read it, and there was absolutely nothing new. Frankly, people don't care. Only the media does.

3. I have to say, that this subject was opened by a DEMOCRAT.
Susan Estridge was on one of the Sunday talkers a month or two ago talking about how the Clintons live apart, even when they are in New York at the same time, and went on to gossip full-throttle about what "sources close to them" that she "knows personally" say this or that about them. She more or less said Hillary was just keeping him around to get elected, and he would help her because he felt he "owed it to her", but if she ran and wasn't elected, they would probably divorce.

This all came from a DEMOCRAT.... not a Republican who was trying to make them look bad. I guess when you have spokespeople who are willing to go on record about this sort of thing, papers feel it's okay to print as news.

Bottom line: We need new spokespeople.
