(34,139 posts)Somewhere here I have the Bat Boy book. It tells the entire history of Bat Boy - from the tabloid point of view, of course.

(6,253 posts)I have fond memories of their story about the twelve U.S. Senators who were actually aliens. The story was published in the summer of 1994, and the senators were Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Dennis Deconcini, D-Ariz.; Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.; Bennett Johnston, D-La.; Howell Heflin, D-Ala.; Chris Dodd, D-Conn.; William Cohen, R-Maine; John Glenn, D-Ohio; Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan.; Sam Nunn, D-Ga.; Al Simpson, R-Wyo.; and Phil Gramm, D-Texas.
Alas, all the alien senators are dead or retired. Who are the aliens now?

(6,253 posts)I remember this because Jay Rockefeller was my senator at the time. He had great fun with the whole thing. How lovely to have politicians with senses of humor!

(21,692 posts)"Hillary had Vince Foster killed to keep him from disclosing affair!"
"Bill ready to divorce Hillary over Vince Foster affair!"
"Vince Foster ready to tell all about the Clintons when he was killed!"
And my favorite:
"Hillary carrying Vince Foster's child; Vince killed over objecting to abortion!"
We laugh - but millions of Republican church ladies lapped all this garbage up as if it were the Gospel.
Many still believe it - and it permanently poisoned the well against Hillary against a wide swath of the electorate.
Idiots vote too, lest we forget.

(10,500 posts)The GOP even stepped it up on the day Bill Clinton went home to Arkansas to bury his mother.
Our failure to deal with Whitewater as a Republican scandal is the reason we are in this mess today.
