4. No.

In a Free Country, maybe.

In Imperial Amerika...NO WAY.

I remember when America was free, but it seems so long ago...

5. Link

Here's the link to the story online:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6706-2004Sep8.html

Doubleday referred a reporter to Lou Colasuonno, a former tabloid editor who was then providing public relations advice to Sharon Bush and arranged last year's lunch with Kelley. Asked about the disputed quote on drug use, he said: "From what I've seen reported in the media, and having not seen the book, I would not describe it as inaccurate."

Colasuonno said he did not recall Bush saying anything about the meeting being off the record. He also did not recall Kelley taking extensive notes, but said she had her pen and pad out at some point, perhaps when the women exchanged phone numbers.

What I want to know is, what was Sharon Bush thinking when she decided to get PR advice from a former tabloid editor??

I hope all this hurts G.W. Bush, but I must say all these people sound a little sleazy to me.

7. Send this to Larry King. He needs to read it.

If Kitty was credible enough to talk about Diana, why not Bush?

8. Attaboy, LouLou. Just tell the plain, unvarnished truth

You can bet your bippy that BushCo has threatened Sharon Bush with something Absolutely Horribly Wretched to get her to attempt this recant.

This is going to get awfully muddy.

He who flings it, must -- eventually -- EAT IT. Open wide, Bushies...and Eat It.
