NewsMax 12/29/00 Carl Limbacher ".....Before her death, Princess Diana claimed privately that a "very flirtatious" Bill Clinton made a pass at her during one of several meetings; and that she considered accepting -- according to close friends who recently shared Diana's confidences with noted royal author Judy Wade. Wade conducted "scores" of interviews with confidantes to the late Princess of Wales for her soon-to-be released biography, "Diana: The Truth," which is excerpted in next week's National Enquirer. After one Clinton encounter Diana reportedly said, "We were a little naughty with each other," according to one confidante who talked to the tabloid directly. ......"

NewsMax.com 9/29/00 Carl Limbacher "…… Monica Lewinsky was just one of "hundreds" of women Bill Clinton cheated with during the his years as the nation's chief executive, according to a longtime Clinton insider who estimated the size of the presidential harem during a speech on Wednesday. Commenting on Clinton's peccadilloes to a Miami University audience, one-time presidential political guru Dick Morris contended: "He's had hundreds of women since he's been in the White House." Referring to Clinton cabinet members who blindly accepted his denials of an affair with Lewinsky, Morris said, "You had to be a moron to believe this guy after his past record." ..."

Newsmax 9/19/00 "……. Secret impeachment evidence against President Clinton sealed by law till the year 2049 is "sensational" and "terrible if it was true," a Washington Post reporter familiar with some of the material said during a radio interview on Monday. ……. "There is an awful lot of interesting stuff still under seal that maybe we'll find out about," Post reporter Peter Baker, who broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal for that paper, told WOR network radio host Bob Grant. Baker was being interviewed about his new impeachment book, "The Breach." ……. "I've been privy to some of it," said Baker. "A little of it is talked about in the book. There was a lot of material that the investigators looked at in (independent counsel Ken) Starr's office that was very sensational, very - ah - it would be terrible if it was true - but that hadn't been checked out." ……. In his book Baker says that the independent counsel's office investigated 21 women linked to Clinton. ……. Rick and Beverly Lambert, private investigators hired by Jones' legal team, told NewsMax.com last year that one of the allegations they were investigating at the close of the Jones case involved the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by then-Governor Clinton at a cocaine party hosted by Dan Lasater. …….. The Lamberts also tracked down Juanita Broaddrick, the Arkansas nursing home operator who said that Clinton had raped her when he was state attorney general. "If you want a pattern of forceful sexual behavior (by Clinton), we have that," Beverly Lambert told NewsMax.com last year. ……"

NewsMax.com 9/13/00 Carl Limbacher "….. For the third time in eight years, President Clinton has been named in an employee sexual harassment suit seeking substantial monetary damages directly from him or the organization he oversees. The latest complaint was filed Wednesday by assistant White House pastry chef Franette McColloch, who claims that her boss Roland Mesnier was "hostile and rude" to her at work, pestered her over the phone and limited her job responsibilities after she refused his sexual advances. McColloch's suit seeks $2 million in damages, $1 million from Mesnier and $1 million from Clinton, who is named in the suit because he failed to provide a means by which such complaints could be addressed, McColloch's lawyers said. In 1992, the Clinton campaign settled a sexual harassment lawsuit with an unidentified female accountant for $37,500. Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiff was required to remain anonymous and keep the details of her sexual harassment secret, but Clinton aide David Watkins stepped forward to take responsibility. …….News of the 1992 sex suit against the Clinton campaign became public in December 1994 when the Federal Election Commission learned it had settled the sex case using federal election matching funds. ……. In a 1996 interview with the American Spectator magazine Watkins revealed that Clinton confidante Susan Thomases was grateful that he accepted responsibility and told him, "We know you did it to protect Bill." Cristy Zercher, who was a flight attendant aboard Clinton's 1992 campaign plane, told NewsMax.com last year that she did not remember Watkins traveling with the campaign. Zercher did recall Bill Clinton "interacting a lot" with a blonde female staffer whose duties were unclear to her. "She could have been the accountant," Zercher told NewsMax.com. …..Zercher was surprised to learn the campaign had settled a sexual harassment suit against Watkins, who made millions in the advertising business, because campaign funds were so scarce. "There wasn't a lot of campaign money, especially in the beginning. We had people donating food to us." ……Zercher herself claimed that Clinton had groped her aboard the campaign plane. She never declined to file a sexual harassment claim at the time. ……. A third lawsuit suit charged Clinton personally with sexual harassment . Filed on March 8, 1994 by Paula Jones, the case eventually resulted in President Clinton's impeachment. ……"

 

NewsMax.com 8/23/00 Carl Limbacher "……. The House Judiciary Committee that investigated President Clinton on impeachment charges had information that other women besides Juanita Broaddrick were ready to finger Clinton on rape charges, chief impeachment counsel David Schippers revealed Wednesday. Schippers dropped the Rapegate bombshell in an interview with WABC-NY talk radio host Sean Hannity. The exchange went like this:
HANNITY: Were there any other women that claimed they were raped by the president?
SCHIPPERS: There was some other information along those lines. We never could get anybody else to come forward. All we had were rumors and hearsay. So I did not credit any of it.
HANNITY: You didn't.
SCHIPPERS: No. If somebody had come forward -- we kept hearing from newspaper people and media people that there were others that they were going to come out with, there were others they were going to bring in. But they never showed up.
HANNITY: With the charge of rape?
SCHIPPERS: Yeah. Forcible rape. ….."

Newsmax.com 12/4/99 Carl Limbacher "….Of all the babes, bimbos and otherwise innocent females that fell victim to Bill Clinton's sexual predations, there was one, says "Hillary's Choice" author Gail Sheehy, who nearly ended the first couple's marriage. "(Hillary) was shattered by learning that her husband had actually fallen in love with another woman," Sheehy told NBC's Stone Phillips last Monday. "And this affair, which has never been described before, almost drove a stake through their marriage." The author says that Clinton promised to end the affair during a "come-to-Jesus" confrontation with Hillary in the early 1990's, but continued the relationship anyway. Sheehy identified the lady in question only as "Jane Doe #1" in the Paula Jones case, describing her as "a tall slender blonde." And though Jones lawyers have never publicly put names to the numbers they assigned to the assorted Jane Does, a source close to the investigation has confirmed to NewsMax.com that Jane Doe #1 is Marilyn Jo Jenkins……."

Newsmax 11/21/99 Carl Limbacher "….. Harold Ickes, former deputy White House chief of staff and now senior advisor to Hillary Clinton, pleaded ignorance about a rape charge against his former boss when questioned by NewsMax.com Sunday morning and suggested that curiosity about such matters had "poisoned" the political dialogue. ……. When the network finally broadcast Broaddrick's compelling account it was seen by more than 20 million viewers. Five days earlier her rape allegation had been the subject of a lengthy Wall Street Journal editorial. Still, Ickes claimed he wasn't familiar with the facts. NewsMax.com questioned Ickes during his appearance on C-Span's "Sunday Morning Journal" hosted by Steve Scully……"

WashPost 11/10/99 Al Kamen "…President Clinton's visit last week to Norway went well, even though he never did get reunited with Ellen Andenaes, a Norwegian woman who must have made quite an impression on him the last time they met, when Rhodes scholar Clinton went through Oslo in 1969 en route to Moscow. The Israeli press reported last week that Clinton told Shimon Peres, now Israeli minister of regional cooperation, that there had been "international relations" between them and he had asked the embassy in Oslo to track her down so they could meet again…… Then, when told Clinton had stopped in Oslo on his way to Moscow, she remembered getting a postcard from Moscow from one of the young Americans. Ulf Andenaes, as it turns out, was posted in Washington last year as a correspondent for Aftenposten and lived in a condo just across the way from--who else?--Monica S. Lewinsky……Clinton apparently didn't try to see his old tour guide on this trip…."

Newsmax.com 3/7/99 "…President Clinton had at least two Juanita's in his life according to Sexgate whistleblower Linda Tripp, who revealed Sunday morning yet another presidential paramour on ABC's "This Week with Sam and Cokie." …DONALDSON: But the conversation was, Boy -- how is he going to explain this? Clearly the two of you think this is a big deal. And there's a woman named Juanita. Is this a woman who has yet to surface in this case? TRIPP: Hmmm -- In this case? Well, let me just say that in our opinion, this was a woman whose relationship with the president would have again gone to the pattern of behavior -- which was precisely what the Paula Jones attorneys were searching for ... This was a woman with whom we thought the President might have difficulty. (Cokie) ROBERTS: You mean the Juanita woman is a woman that you thought the president might ... DONALDSON: You're quite plainly saying that there is a woman named Juanita out there. And if her story became public you believe the President would have a problem with it. TRIPP: Let me just say that our use of the name Juanita was irresponsible. It's a woman who has not surfaced in this case, and by case I mean the Paula Jones case, to date. (George)WILL: But the pattern to which you're referring to is harassment followed by job offers? TRIPP: No, not necessarily. The pattern is behavior with other women, differing behavior with denial. This week's STAR Magazine pours even more gasoline on the Sexgate/Rapegate imbroglio. Citing "never before seen FBI files -- now kept under lock and key by Congress," ace reporter Richard Gooding reveals: "Clinton made passes at several female White House Secret Service agents," and "at least two more women claim to have had encounters with Clinton similiar to Juanita Broaddrick, who says he raped her 21 years ago in a Little Rock Hotel Room." "Three female agents have told colleagues of presidential hanky-panky, including one who is said to have filed a complaint that (Clinton) frequently 'hit on her,' sources say. That agent later withdrew the complaint when her request for a transfer was granted." "The secret FBI files contain even more serious allegations of brutish behavior against Clinton. According to one insider, there is the story of the wife of a former top Clinton aide who has confided that the president once pinned her against the wall, ignoring her protests, as he ran his hands over her body -- virtually a carbon copy of the Oval Office groping episode described last year by Kathleen Willey." …"

Investors Business Daily 3/11/99 Paul Sperry "… I's a diverse group. Some politically active, some not. ''I hate politics,'' says one. Many are from Arkansas, but two are from the Washington area and one's from Beverly Hills. At the same time, they have a lot in common. All nine are women. And nearly all of them are former employees or campaign workers who say they at one point admired the man they worked for. All now say they fear him. A growing club of women charge that Bill Clinton personally assaulted them or, through his ''agents'' or ''people,'' threatened to do them or their families physical harm. Some are vague about the threats. Others are quite specific. But a pattern is clear, not to mention disturbing: One after another, women are accusing the president of being, at a minimum, a bully; at worst, a rapist. And all of them say they're afraid for their safety so long as he remains in power….''He is a threat to women there,'' agreed a lawyer for Dolly Kyle Browning, who claims Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey threatened to destroy Browning if she broke her silence about her affair with Clinton….Calls to the White House on the issue of female staffers' safety were referred to the counsel's office, which did not reply….

Drudge/Fox News Channel http://www.foxnews.com/ http://www.drudgereport.com/ 3/13/99 summary by Freeper A Whitewater Researcher "…Rick Lambert said that his experience with rape victims gave him and Ms. Lambert no doubt whatsoever that Broaddrick was also a rape victim. Ms. Lambert wept at the profundity of the Broaddrick rape...Rick Lambert said he thinks there are hundreds of Jane Does out there to be uncovered, as Clinton acknowledged himself. Many victims are afraid to come forward...between 10 and 15 Clinton victims were given high ranking jobs in exchange for their silence. Ms. Lambert said there are other Clinton assault victims, and mentioned two mothers of assault victims who called the Lamberts with tips and information; one about another (not Jane Doe #5) alleged rape by Clinton....Mr. Lambert said many victims pleaded with him not to come to their homes out of fear of being seen cooperating with the Jones investigation...he has never worked a case where there was so much fear and intimidation involved...."

Newsmax.com 3/17/99 "… Paula Jones' investigators Rick and Beverly Lambert told NewsMax.com last month that they uncovered a Clinton pattern of aggressive sexual behavior and offered on background the names of several women who they believed had been raped. Star magazine's Richard Gooding followed with a report citing confidential FBI files on three female Secret Service agents who complained of Clinton's harassment. Gooding noted the files contain two additional Juanita Broaddrick-style allegations from other women. On Tuesday, Vanity Fair's Christopher Hitchens weighed in. In a piece on Broaddrick written for Salon magazine, Hitchens reports: "I also know of three other women who I suspect could, if they chose, lay a charge of assault against Clinton." Last month, scandal maven Lucianne Goldberg hinted to Canada's National Post that some of the assault allegations are relatively recent, saying she knows of at least one so-far-unidentified woman who was accosted during Clinton's White House years. Tuesday, Goldberg told supporters on her favorite Web site, Free Republic, to "be patient," explaining, "It is one thing for us to know who she [they] is [are] and quite another to get agreement to step forward, knowing the pain to be inflicted. Juanita Broaddrick didn't come forward voluntarily. It is a scary thing to do, and we don't want to push them out until they are ready to face the [Clinton] slime machine." Goldberg added, "We are working as fast as we can." …"

NewsMax.com 3/23/99 "…A highly placed source who served with the now-defunct House impeachment investigation tells Inside Cover that congressional probers had uncovered other Juanita Broaddrick-like allegations against President Clinton. "We had information that there were other rapes," said the tipster, speaking only on deep background. "But we didn't get to investigate them in any fine detail. I can't honestly say that we had developed evidence of other rapes. But we had indications."…"

Newsmax 3/24/99 "…Newsweek's Michael Isikoff reports a juicy little tidbit that should be of interest to those following Susan McDougal's current criminal contempt trial, according to the advance word on his upcoming book, "Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story". It seems St. Susan's persistent silence before Ken Starr's grand jury had to do with sex, at least in part. She feared that Whitewater prosecutors would question her about her suspected liaison with then-Governor Clinton; one that would have coincided with his alleged efforts to steer an illegal SBA loan her way. Before McDougal's Sept. 1996 grand jury appearance, legal gadfly Alan Dershowitz reportedly advised that she'd have to answer the sex question if prosecutors posed it…. This January, onetime White House campaign-guru Dick Morris told FOX News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" that Clinton himself was worried that the Whitewater-sex connection would be exposed. Morris revealed that the President asked him how he should respond if prosecutors raised the issue during his April 1996 Whitewater trial testimony….."

Arkansas source to Freeper Doug from Upland 4/15/99 "...While Governor of Arkansas and during his first term, it is alleged that Bill Clinton had another rape victim. Her name will be withheld until she wants it released. This story was first reported about 2 1/2 weeks ago exclusively here on FreeRepublic. The alleged rape occured at the Excelsior Hotel. When Clinton managed to get the victim alone he began assaulting her. When she resisted, he began hitting her and blackened both her eyes. When he was finished, he said he would send someone to attend to her. The story even gets more sickening. It is alleged that after the assault, Clinton went back into the Excelsior and gave a speech. In terms of one of the great modern quotes, "That sounds like our guy." An Arkansas state trooper may hold the key to the veracity of the charges. My source tells me that the trooper, over a period of the next several months, delivered letters of apology from Clinton to the victim. The trooper is prepared to testify if he is called. At the time of the event, the woman's current husband was her boyfriend. They have solicited help from three law firms in Arkansas and were advised in writing to not pursue the case. How strong the evidence is we are going to see. If there are indeed notes from Clinton that have been saved, they will be hard to explain..."

Capitol Hill Blue 6/9/99 "...Here is Bill Clinton's legacy of mistreatment of women. The common threads are that, almost to a woman: (1) they had some vulnerability that he could exploit. (2) they were victims of a smear campaign, and (3) there is an eerie similarity to the stories they tell of intimidation, threats, and burglaries of odd items, such as photographs and tapes..."

New York Daily News 7/20/99 "…When President Clinton finally confessed to his wife the true nature of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, the First Lady belted him, a new book reveals. Hillary Rodham Clinton slapped her husband so hard she left a red mark "clearly visible to Secret Service agents when he left the room," according to Christopher Andersen, author of "Hillary and Bill: A Marriage Andersen also claims that the First Lady screamed at Clinton: "You stupid, stupid, stupid bastard. My God, Bill, how could you risk everything for that." The argument on Aug. 13, 1998, staged in her bedroom and overheard by both agents and White House staffers, is said to have continued until Hillary Clinton sank down on the bed, saying, "How are we going to tell Chelsea?"…."

Capitol Hill Blue 8/9/99 "...Cheryl Mills, who played a key role at the impeachment trial of President Clinton, turned down his history-making offer to make her the next White House counsel because, she tells friends privately, she is uncomfortable with his "callous disregard for women." ....Sources close to the attorney say that even as she was defending Clinton in the impeachment trial, she expressed both "concern and distaste" over his affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky and his lies under oath about the relationship. "Like any attorney, she can and will defend a client she doesn't like, but even Cheryl has her limits," one associate said Sunday...."

Drudge 8/8/99 "...More than a dozen women associated with various Clinton scandals are set to gather in one hotel room, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. The meeting, which has been planned in secret, is scheduled to take place in Dallas later this month. According to legal sources, the women will travel from all across the country to share "war stories" and to discuss the possibility of filing a class action lawsuit against President Bill Clinton! "It has taken quite some time to track all of them down," one well-placed source told the DRUDGE REPORT. "And to get them all to agree to meet in one room has taken months. But we're there." News of the gathering is bound to cause nightmares at the White House. "It is going to be the class reunion from hell," said one source...."

Fox News 8/9/99 Patrick Riley "...With President Clinton's grand jury testimony and his public acknowledgment of his improper relationship, last August was Sexgate ground zero. So it's only fitting that in August '99, as some of the scandal's loose ends are tied up, another potential slugfest looms. According to an unconfirmed Drudge Report, a bevy of women who claim to have been harassed by Clinton plan to congregate at a Dallas hotel later this month to discuss a possible class-action law suit against the commander-in-chief..... "

Washington Times/ Inside Politics 8/11/99 Greg Pierce "...President Clinton was back chasing the ladies just two weeks after his Senate acquittal on Feb. 12, according to sources for Christopher Andersen's book "Bill and Hillary: The Marriage."... And in March, the author said, "An anguished military officer complained to her immediate superior that the president 'groped' her following yet another glittering black-tie function in Washington. "Her commanding officer told her pointedly: 'It didn't happen.' " ..."

Investor's Business Daily 8/11/99 "...Even more infuriating than the sweetheart interview the sycophants at Talk magazine gave pseudo-politician Hillary Clinton is her portrait of her unfaithful husband as a harmless, if hopeless, lady pleaser. Make no mistake, Bill Clinton abuses women. Buried in the back pages of one of the dozen or so books that Washington reporters have written is a damning piece of evidence that corroborates Juanita Broaddrick's tale of rape by Clinton. The book, ''Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story,'' is by Michael Isikoff, the supposedly intrepid Newsweek reporter who broke the Monica Lewinsky story only to have it bottled up by his editors..... While Broaddrick was reliving her painful story on national TV in January, and fending off White House-dispatched skeptics, Isikoff held back facts that would have lent credence to her story, saving them for his precious book, published a few months later. Isikoff tells how Elizabeth Ward Gracen ran into Clinton in Hot Springs, Ark., when she was 21 and serving as Miss America. While doing a public service announcement there, then-Gov. Clinton pulled up in his state limo and offered her a ride. According to Isikoff, Clinton invited Gracen to the apartment of one of his pals at the Quapaw Towers back in Little Rock. ''They had sex that night. It was rough sex,'' Isikoff said. ''Clinton got so carried away that he bit her lip, Gracen told her friends.'' Bit her lip....."

New York Post 8/10/99 Richard Johnson Jeane MacIntosh Kate Coyne "...SEVERAL of President Clinton's conquests are planning to meet in Dallas later this month to swap "war stories" and discuss filing a class action suit, cyber columnist Matt Drudge reports. Kathleen Willey, who recently became engaged to remarry, told The Post she will skip the convention: "I just don't want to become involved." Juanita Broaddrick, whose tale of being raped by Clinton riveted a prime time audience, got a call last week inviting her to the pow-wow, but she's undecided: "I just can't imagine being in a room with all those women that you've seen on television." Broaddrick also said she wouldn't accept any monetary damages for herself if a lawsuit succeeds. "There's no way I'd ever want to take any money," she said. "Mine would have to go to charity, maybe abused women's shelters." The meeting is said to be the brainchild of Larry Klayman, the conservative gadfly whose Judicial Watch group has filed at least 18 lawsuits against the Clinton Administration...."

Newsmax 1/7/00 Carl Limbacher "…. It's not likely to have the impact of the top secret Paula Jones case impeachment evidence still being witheld by Congress, but Jeff Toobin's upcoming book A Vast Conspiracy does promise a few intriguing tidbits. …… But here's a little item we wonder if even Mr. Toobin is aware of. Turns out, Monica Lewinsky wasn't the first Clinton staffer to become acquainted with Bill Clinton's shockingly kinky cigar-sex fetish. In fact, a full five months before cyber-sleuth Matt Drudge went public with news that Clinton got his kicks by watching Monica simulate sex with tobacco products, the president's perverted turn-on was described in a widely read supermarket tabloid. Flight attendant Shelia Swatzyna, who served aboard then-candidate Clinton's 1992 campaign plane, told the National Enquirer: "[Clinton] loved to tell off-color jokes and make sexual remarks. It was his way of telling the girls, 'The door is open.' There was always a sexual innuendo. He would put his arm around one of the women and start whispering in her ear. He loved to be up close with the stewardesses. One of his favorite tricks was to take a cigar and lick it. He never lit the cigar. He would just play with it in front of the women." (National Enquirer -- March 24, 1998) Swatzyna's recollections are eerily similiar to Monica's own account of how Clinton introduced her to his bizarre taste for cigar-sex: "He was chewing on a cigar. And then he had the cigar in his hand and he was kind of looking at the cigar in...sort of a naughty way. And so...I looked at the cigar and I looked at him and I said, we can do that, too, some time." (Lewinsky deposition -- The Starr Report) Though at least one former Clinton flight attendant won a prestigious West Wing post after apparently acquiescing to the candidate's advances, none has yet come forward to claim she went the full Monica route, cigar and all. But Cristy Zercher, a former campaign plane flight attendant who would later allege that Clinton brazenly groped her while Hillary slept just feet away, told NewsMax.com on Thursday that the soon-to-be president wasn't at all shy about making his proclivities known. "He did his cigar thing in front of the other girls and later they told me about it. In front of me he did a lot of other things." ….."

Washington Times 1/7/99 "…..President Clinton was having a delicious time at his New Year's Eve gala dinner at the White House, someone who was there tells us. Mr. Clinton, pulling rank when the seating was arranged, like any red-blooded American man would, put himself between Sophia Loren - in a low-cut black Armani gown - and Elizabeth Taylor. Miss Taylor, according to our well-connected Democratic guest, simmered toward a boil as the dinner went on. She thought the president was focusing entirely too much attention on Miss Loren. "She said to the president, 'I hope you are not going to spend the whole evening staring at her boobs.' " "The president replied, 'I don't do that anymore.' " 'Bull--,' replied Miss Taylor. The president turned so red he barely spoke to her the rest of the evening, the witness says…."

Washington Weekly 1/23/2000 Edward Zehr "…."I took action to try to prevent erroneous rumors from becoming public news," President Clinton told the court in a deposition he gave regarding the lawsuit Paula Jones had filed against him. He was referring to rumors about him that had surfaced during his 1992 presidential campaign. …….. Although part of this testimony had been reported by the Washington Times on March 15, 1998, it was not until "sealed" documents were posted on Random House's Vast Conspiracy Web site last week, for the purpose of hyping Clinton apologist Jeffrey Toobin's new book, "A Vast Conspiracy," that the names of two additional "Jane Does" were revealed. In the newly disclosed transcript of the secret hearing before Judge Wright, held on January 12, 1998, James Fisher, an attorney for Paula Jones, named the witnesses whom he planned to call on behalf of the plaintiff. The list included Kathleen Willey, Beth Coulsen, Monica Lewinsky, Shelia Lawrence, Juanita Broaddrick, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning. Fisher continued, "The other two would be Marilyn Jo Jenkins, whose deposition has not been continued after the Court made its ruling on our motion to compel; and Cyd Dunlop, a woman to whom Mr. Clinton made unwanted sexual advances." ……"

Washington Weekly 1/23/2000 Edward Zehr "…. These and five other "sealed" documents were posted on Jan. 11 at the Random House Web site, however, those curious folks who attempted to access the documents soon reported that they were unable to download them………. It seems that a few Web surfers were fast enough to download most of the documents before they disappeared. Thus, four of the five missing files can now be accessed at: http://www.geocites.com/registered2000. ……. David Schippers, the chief investigator in the House impeachment inquiry, told NewsMax that the most likely source of the "sealed" documents is the Clinton White House. "It's obvious that this material came from either someone in the Jones camp or the White House itself," Schippers told the online news organization. But anyone who witnessed the grudge match between Jeffrey "Canvasback" Toobin and Paula "The Mauler" Jones on Larry King Live (Jones decked him early in the second round) would find it unlikely that Jones' attorneys would pass secret documents over the transom to a Clinton sycophant such as Toobin……"That's why I think this might be coming from the White House," Schippers told NewsMax. "Remember, they got copies of everything Jones' lawyers had." …."

Washington Weekly 1/23/2000 Edward Zehr "…."The reference to Cyd Dunlop in the newly revealed transcript of the hearing before Judge Wright in January 1998 concerns a woman who says she was repeatedly propositioned by Clinton during a victory celebration held at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock on the occasion of his reelection to serve a third term as Governor of Arkansas. She rejected his advances. According to an account which Dunlop later gave to Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff, Clinton was not so readily rebuffed. Two hours after she and her husband had retired to their hotel room she received a phone call from Clinton, who identified himself as "Bill, the governor," and insisted, "I just wanted to hear the sound of your voice again. Can you get out of your room?" Dunlop said that she was taken aback by the temerity of Clinton's determination to proposition her even as her husband slept a few feet away. But Clinton was not to be deterred. "Just tell him you need to be by yourself for a while," he cajoled. When Mrs. Dunlop replied that she couldn't do that, Clinton asked her if she would go jogging with him in the morning. She finally agreed to this, just to get him to hang up, but there was no meeting the following day……. "

Washington Weekly 1/23/2000 Edward Zehr "….""But how could this possibly be true?" asks my neighbor, Dufus Dymwittee. "If the mainstream press ever got hold of such stories they would blab them from one end of the country to the other. You know how scandal-oriented they are." If the name of the man in the Oval Office were ard Nixon or George Bush, Dufus would no doubt have a point -- the stories would be common knowledge by now……. If the TV nets are so determined to give Clinton a hard time why did two of the three major broadcast networks avoid mentioning Juanita Broaddrick's allegation that Clinton had raped her? If one would suggest that they had inadequate documentation, then why did the other network report the story (after waiting for the impeachment proceedings to wind down)? Once this point has been grasped it is not so difficult to understand why the mainstream news media have downplayed all of the other stories relating to Clinton's pathological behavior. They just don't want us to know that we have a serial rapist psychopath for a president. After all, he's their boy……"

In it, he wrote, "It seems to be permissible to have sex in the Oval office during duty hours with an immature female intern and remain President of the United States, Commander And Chief of All Armed Forces, and continue to be licensed as an attorney in Arkansas."

"Preposterous," Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos said. Mr. Aldrich insisted his story was accurate, although he now tells Inside the Beltway he wishes he'd known then about a 1994 article, "Can the President Think?" published in Reason magazine. In that account, Kathy McClanahan, a childhood friend of Mr. Clinton, told about his hysterical weeping when he realized he was losing one of his first elections in Arkansas, "and how he hid in the bottom of the back seat of her car so that no one could see him."

When I was made aware of all these things, I made the public statement that there seemed to be more credible evidence supporting the charges made by Nichols than exists against 90% of the people on death row today.

Juanita Broaddrick (AR)- rape

NewsMax.com 12/22/98 Christopher Ruddy ".A civil war is brewing in the news room of ABC's World News Tonight over allegations that in 1979 Bill Clinton may have raped Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas woman, when he served as the state's Attorney General. NewsMax.com has obtained an internal ABC News memo that was emailed to the top news producers earlier today about the controversy. Chris Isham, a top ABC News producer, distributed the memo which lays out out the scintillating facts surrounding the alleged incident, and the interest sparked in the subject by Republican Congressmen who last week were permitted to review the Starr documentation of the case...The memo states that Arizona Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth told ABC News -- off-the-record -- that the material makes Clinton out to be "a sexual predator." The Broaddrick incident may be cited in a Senate trial of the President, Isham suggests. NewsMax.com has learned that Isham's memo comes as a result of a feud between World News Tonight Executive Producer Paul Freidman and network anchor Peter Jennings. Jennings -- reputed to have a eye for the ladies much like the President's -- has vehemently objected to ABC news reporting on the subject. The memo, in an apparent shot at Jennings, states, "...the potential that a rape charge could be leveled at the President makes the story one that can't be totally ignored." ..ABC News memo follows: From: Isham, Chris Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 1998 12:45 PM To: Friedman, Paul E.; Dunlavey, Dennis; Murphy, Bob Subject: Broaddrick Forwarding a memo by Josh Fine which is a good summary of the Juanita Broddrick (Jane Doe #5.) Her case MAY have tipped some moderate Republicans to vote yes on impeachment and MAY be introduced in the Senate proceedings. Juanita Broaddrick was subpoenaed in the Paula Jones case. She filed an affidavit that said "These allegations (that Clinton had made unwelcome advances towards her) are untrue.". It is unclear if he raped or assaulted her but that is the allegation made by Phillip Yoakum. Yoakum is a Fayetteville man who says Broaddrick told him in 1992 that she was raped by Clinton in the late 70's. I interviewed Yoakum in March and found him entirely uncredible. He had facts wrong, was a total Clinton-hater, and his claims to being friends with Broaddrick are untrue. The other person who supposedly knows about what took place is Norma Rogers-Kelsay, a friend of Broaddrick's who went to the convention with her in Little Rock and drove back with her to Van Buren where they live). Tamara Lipper spoke with Rogers on the phone in March. Rogers said that Yoakum was telling the truth. She was with Broaddrick before and after the incident and said that she was in "quite bad shape after." In 1991 Broaddrick was at a nursing home convention in Little Rock and a man pulled her out of a meeting (this is all according to Rogers-Kelsay). The man took her to Bill Clinton and he apologized for hurting her and asked if there was anything he could do. She didn't understand at the time why he had taken that step but soon realized the real reason after he announced his candidacy for President a few months later. In the 1992 campaign these rumors began to circulate and Sheffield Nelson, a longtime Arkansas Clinton-hater, tried to get her to come forward. She did not. Yoakum evidently was at a meeting with Rogers and Broaddrick where they discussed the incident and whether or not Broaddrick should talk publicly about it. Evidently Broaddrick was worried no one would believe her (similar to what happened with Gennifer Flowers)..Late last week Republicans began to stream over to the Ford building to look at the materials. According to a source of mine there were about two dozen members who went to look at the material on Thursday and Friday. Many Republicans were talking up the new material as evidence that could come up at trial because it would show a pattern and practice of behavior (paying off or influencing women to keep quiet). According to Rep. Inglis under federal rule of evidence 441(B) something showing a pattern or practice can be admissible in a trial...Still, the potential that a rape charge could be leveled at the President makes the story one that can't be totally ignored.."

Drudge via e-mail 1/28/99 Freeper Senator Pardek ".Juanita Broaddrick has now told associates that she feels "betrayed" by NBC NEWS, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. One week ago, Broaddrick sat for an exclusive in-depth interview with NBC NEWS reporter Lisa Myers -- an interview that she was told would immediately air on NBC's DATELINE! Broaddrick doesn't hold Lisa Myers responsible for the building media nightmare, according to a source. Talk in the cafeteria at NBC'S New York headquarters on Wednesday had NBC NEWS anchorman Tom Brokaw threatening to resign if Andy "America's News Leader" Lack goes with the completed Lisa Myers package, one NBC producer, who asked not to be identified, said late Wednesday. Broaddrick is now being described as "emotionally drained" after the session with Myers. And since giving the interview, Broaddrick has confessed to a friend: "I'm so afraid over what is going to happen now."..Pro-Myers associates inside of the network question why the original Myers piece on Broaddrick aired, and now the actual interview with "Jane Doe #5" has hit a broadcast wall. "It was clear sailing, but now that Lisa has put the house up with the nails there is resistance by executives," said one pro-Myers source. And while no final decision on airing the interview has been made, the Myers situation has caused confusion throughout the ranks at NBC...

NewsMax.com 10/26/98 Carl Limbacher ". Perhaps what Juanita Broaddrick says happened to her some 20 years ago..That friend, Phillip Yoakum, reminded Broaddrick of her nightmare in a letter he wrote hoping to convince her to go public in 1992: "I was particularly distraught when you told me of your brutal rape by Bill Clinton ... [how] he started trying to kiss you and ran his hands all over your body until he ripped your clothes off, and how he bit your lip until you gave into his forcing sex upon you." (ABCNews.com, March 28, 1998) Yoakum's version of Broaddrick's story is corroborated by a nurse who treated her after the assault. Norma Rogers told NBC News last March that Juanita Broaddrick was "distraught, her lips were swollen at least double in size. ... ."

National Review/The Goldberg File 1/5/99 Jonah Goldberg "..Now, I've learned that there seems to be additional evidence out there (not in the Ford building and not in OIC's office) corroborating the allegations that Jane Doe #5 was assaulted by Bill Clinton and then intimidated into covering it up. I suspect you'll be reading about it soon. Let's assume that story is true, or assume it isn't, it doesn't really matter. But again, would anybody be surprised? Would any opinions change? What is it about this man that his actual allies think he is capable of despicable things and they just don't care?."

newsmax.com 2/4/99 Carl Limbacher ".In an exclusive interview late last week, onetime Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sheffield Nelson told NewsMax.com that for years he's known of a woman who alleged that then-Gov. Bill Clinton had raped her. Nelson refused to identify the victim but did emphasize that the woman, a friend of his wife's, was not Juanita Broaddrick. Reached at his Little Rock home on Thursday, Nelson revealed that he had met with Broaddrick and her friend, Phillip Yoakum, at her office in October 1992. Both Yoakum and Nelson were trying to convince Broaddrick to go public with her devastating account of a bruising sexual assault by Clinton 14 years earlier. Two years before that meeting, Nelson had failed to unseat Clinton in an election that earned the future president his fifth term as governor. Nelson informed Broaddrick that her unwanted encounter with Clinton was not unique. Still, Nelson told NewsMax.com, the other victim "will never come forward." One source familiar with the meeting revealed that one of the reasons the woman was reluctant to go public about her attack is because she had been drinking heavily when it occurred.."

Drudge 2/18/99 ".Completely frustrated that NBC NEWS has refused to air her interview, Juanita Broaddrick, aka Jane Doe #5, opens herself up to Friday's WALL STREET JOURNAL! .In a Little Rock hotel room, Bill Clinton forced Broaddrick onto a bed where he "held her down forcibly and bit her lips," says the report. "The sexual entry itself was not without some pain, she recalls, because of her stiffness and resistance..I felt paralyzed and was starting to cry.' As he got to the door, she remembers, he turned. 'This is the part that always stays in my mind -- the way he put on his sunglasses. Then he looked at me and said, 'You better put some ice on that.' And then he left.'"."

Wall Street Journal 2/19/99 Dorothy Rabinowitz ".They had not been there more than five minutes, Mrs. Broaddrick says, when he moved close as they stood looking out at the Arkansas River. He pointed out an old jailhouse and told her that when he became governor, he was going to renovate that place.. But the conversation did not linger long on the candidate's plans for social reform. For, Mrs. Broaddrick relates, he then put his arms around her, startling her.. The argument failed to persuade Mr. Clinton, who, she says, got her onto the bed, held her down forcibly and bit her lips. The sexual entry itself was not without some pain, she recalls, because of her stiffness and resistance. When it was over, she says, he looked down at her and said not to worry, he was sterile--he had had mumps when he was a child. "As though that was the thing on my mind--I wasn't thinking about pregnancy, or about anything," she says. "I felt paralyzed and was starting to cry." As he got to the door, she remembers, he turned. "This is the part that always stays in my mind--the way he put on his sunglasses. Then he looked at me and said, 'You better put some ice on that.' And then he left." Her friend Norma Rogers, a nurse who had accompanied her on the trip, found her on the bed. She was, Ms. Rogers related in an interview, in a state of shock--lips swollen to double their size, mouth discolored from the biting, her pantyhose torn in the crotch. "She just stayed on the bed and kept repeating, 'I can't believe what happened.' " Ms. Rogers applied ice to Juanita's mouth, and they drove back home, stopping along the way for more ice.."

Washington Post Page 1 Louis Romano Peter Baker ".Hers has been a story hidden in plain sight since last March, referred to in vague terms in Jones's court filings and Starr's impeachment report yet never explicitly a part of the now-concluded congressional debate over whether Clinton should be removed from office for trying to cover up his affair with Monica S. Lewinsky. Few in official Washington who have been privy to the Broaddrick story have been entirely sure what to make of it.. With no witnesses, Broaddrick's story is difficult to verify. But her account is corroborated to an extent by one person who has said they talked about it contemporaneously. Norma Rogers, an employee and friend who traveled with her to the conference, told The Post in separate interviews that she returned to the hotel room that day to find Broaddrick badly shaken and her lip swollen. They quickly packed and left, stopping to get ice for Broaddrick's lip on the way back to Van Buren, both later said. Rogers, who has since moved to a suburb of Tulsa, Okla., had not talked with Broaddrick for several years until the episode was resurrected in the Jones lawsuit. Before the two got back in touch, Rogers told The Post last spring: "It's true unless she has been lying to me for 20 years and I don't think she did. We were close enough at the time that if something else had happened I believe she would have told me.". Broaddrick said Clinton called her at the nursing home several times afterward but she would never take the call. The next time she recalled seeing him was in 1991, when she said she was summoned out of another nursing home meeting in Little Rock to meet with him. "It was unreal. . . . He kept trying to hold my hand," she said. "I can still remember his words. He said, 'Can you ever forgive me? I'm not the same man I used to be.' . . . I told him, 'You just go to hell.' And I walked away. I was shaking." ..Looking back, Broaddrick said yesterday that she does not believe she made a mistake by keeping quiet in 1978 but wishes she had come forward in 1992. "I feel that had I come out in '92, that it may have made a difference," she said. "I regret that." .."

3/23/98 Newsweek Evan Thomas, Martha Brant and Pat Wingert. "...It was late on the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 14, and Monica Lewinsky seemed to be more desperate than ever to reach her friend Linda Tripp. At loose ends before she began her new job in New York, Lewinsky was calling Tripp repeatedly from pay phones, for fear of being overheard--or wiretapped. Pulled out of a meeting at the Pentagon, Tripp finally got Lewinsky's call. According to a source familiar with Tripp's account, Tripp believed that Lewinsky had been crying. Lewinsky told Tripp that she had some "new ideas" about how Linda could testify in the Paula Jones case..."

Wrong on BOTH dimensions, of course--we weren't allowed to know about Juanita's rape, although THE NATIONAL PRESS HAS HAD THE STORY SINCE 1992, AS THE NEW YORK TIMES ITSELF CONFIRMED IN A STORY TODAY!!!!!!

With Carter, it wouldn't have been believed, but with Clinton, it is believeable. Hockenberry said no demo guests would come on tonight, clearly they were waiting to see how it unfolded. When Warren blamed this story coming out on the internet, Hockenberry corrected him & said it came out because of the impeachment and because it is believeable. Hockenberry took calls for the last half of the show, and said every call but one was against the president.

Susan Bianchi-Sands,president of the National council of Womens Organizations,called Mrs.Broaddrick's accusation against Mr.Clinton"serious,since it sounds like a charge of assualt." "And as egregious as his behavior was"with Monica Lewinsky,"that involved consensual sex,and assault is certainly more serious,"Ms.Bianchi-Sands said yesterday. ...But Ms.Allred-who filed the first complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee about sexual misconduct by former Sen.Robert Packwood,Oregon Republican-said she knows firsthand that women raped by high-profile assailants don't always reprot the assaults... Denise Snyder,executive director of the D.C.Rape Crisis Center,said she's concerned that some people are raising questions about Mrs.Broaddrick's credibility,because of her "delay in coming forward" with the charges against Mr.Clinton. In fact,such delays are "quite normative when the assailant has a lot of power and a high public profile," "Society often assumes a sexual assault survivor is lying,"and a victim may fear she'll be blamed or suffer retaliation if she brings charges,Ms.Snyder said. If this occurs in the Broaddrick case,she said,"It will be fodder for the cannon aimed at sexual assault survivors"and could prompt other women to keep such incidents secret...."

New York Post 2/20/99 Brian Blomquist Freeper ProTruth ".The 56-year-old nursing-home owner claims Clinton bit her lips, forced her to have sex with him, then told her not to worry because he was "sterile" due to a child-hood bout with the mumps.. She alleges that after Clinton painfully forced her into sex, he put on his sunglasses and told her as he was leaving, "You'd better put some ice on your face."."

New York Post 2/20/99 Steve Dunleavy ".JUANITA BROADDRICK said yesterday "Bill Clinton is a cold bastard who might have been killed if he had not been governor of Arkansas." Broaddrick claims Clinton sexually assaulted her in a Little Rock hotel room in April 1978. "If my husband had his way at the time he would have killed him," she told me from her home in Van Buren, Ark. "If as governor of Arkansas he had not been so well-protected, I shudder to think what my husband would have done or what would have happened.".. The NBC interview never appeared and to this day remains a journalistic mystery. "A week after I did the interview with NBC I was still pretty shaken up about the whole thing. I called and asked them what was happening," she said. "I was told that I was very credible and they were still researching the story." What NBC does with their exclusive interviews is entirely their business. But journalists still have giant question marks on their face as to why it has not yet appeared. "I honestly don't know why, but one has to wonder," Broaddrick said. "Considering that I gave the interview at the time of the impeachment hearings, I don't know. "Anyway, I've said what I've said and I think that no one would doubt my credibility. "As for Clinton himself, it's quite obvious what I think about him." If the allegations by Monica Lewinsky are true, if the allegations by Paula Jones are true, if the allegations by Kathleen Willey are true, and if the allegations by Broaddrick are true, then there is a particularly important resident of Pennsylvania Avenue who needs a lot of professional help.."

Laissez Faire City Times 2/22/99 Rex Rogers "."Juanita Broaddrick's, yet to break, 'very credible' interview with NBC, and her subsequent actions in 'going on the record' with the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and the Associated Press has broken the dam wide-open! "The Whitehouse is in panic. New attack victims are coming out of the woodwork like rats fleeing a sinking ship," Washington insiders are saying. Fear of reprisal is waning. From England, Canada and even Yale University, alleged victims, belatedly enraged, seem to be getting braver and more are going on the record with official allegations.."Bill Clinton may even resign over this, if it gets much worse," a scandal hardened reporter exclaims, "There is a breaking point. Even in the establishment press. To people outside the beltway, it's beginning to look like the US president is a serial sex offender. This is truly unbelievable", he says. "'Cold Bastard Bill'," [quoting Broaddrick], "just chews 'em up, and spits 'em out like chicken wings!".Sources say the 'War Room' was vacant Saturday afternoon, and rumors spreading on the internet hint that major team players are considering resignation themselves. Could this be the beginning of the end? ."

Sunday Telegraph (Australia) 2/21/99 Ian Cobain "...THE scandal which has secretly terrified Bill Clinton for years burst into the open yesterday when claims that he raped a woman appeared in America's most respected newspaper. He was said to be "utterly dumbfounded" that the Wall Street Journal had published the allegations. ...What occurred that night in Room 824 has been the subject of at least three secret inquiries: by investigators working for Paula Jones' lawyers, by the FBI, and by a woman police sergeant on attachment to the House of Representatives judiciary committee. At least one investigation team concluded that the President was guilty of rape. The allegation is that Mr Clinton tried to persuade Mrs Broaddrick to sleep with him. When that failed, he is said to have ripped her clothes, and bit her lip hard until she succumbed...."

Washington Times 2/22/99 John McCaslin "..."All trained criminal investigators who have interviewed Mrs. Broaddrick, including House Judiciary Committee law enforcement officers detailed to that committee, have found her ... very credible," Mr. Aldrich tells this column.... "

Electronic Telegraph 2-22-99 Hugh Davies "...Mrs Broaddrick, 56, said: "Bill Clinton is a cold bastard who might have been killed if he had not been governor of Arkansas." She said she feared that her husband might take revenge against Mr Clinton for what she claimed was a "horrible" attack on her in a Little Rock hotel bedroom. "If, as governor of Arkansas, he had not been so well protected, I shudder to think what my husband would have done or what would have happened," she said. Mrs Broaddrick said that Mr Clinton had long been "covering his tracks" about the incident. ..."

NewsMax.com 2/23/99 Inside Cover "...Broaddrick's nurse-friend Norma Rogers told Paula Jones investigators Rick and Beverly Lambert, who were recently interviewed for an upcoming NewsMax.com report, that the wounds were so bad that one lip was nearly torn in two. What accounts for such rabid brutality? According to a former rape investigator with the New Orleans Police Department, who contacted NewsMax.com confidentially, lip biting is a common M.O. for rapists. She told Inside Cover: "The reason rapists bite is because, even with the full weight of her attacker on top of her, the woman is often able to resist the parting of her legs by locking her ankles. The rapist's arms are busy keeping her pinned down. The only weapon the rapist has left is his teeth, which he uses to bite while demanding she open her legs. The lips are very sensitive. Biting them is so painful it distracts the victim, allowing a rapist to overcome her resistance. The victim can only hold out for so long as the blood flows into her mouth. Some women are stronger than others and I've seen their lips half-torn from their faces before they give up."..."

AP 2/24/99 "…At times tearful, Juanita Broaddrick appeared on national television Wednesday describing an alleged sexual assault by Bill Clinton 21 years ago. ``I was a little bit uneasy, but I felt a real friendship toward this man and I really didn't feel any danger'' in letting him come up to her Little Rock, Ark., hotel room during a nursing administrators' conference in 1978, she told NBC's ``Dateline.'' In the interview, taped Jan. 20 but held by the network until Wednesday night, Mrs. Broaddrick cried briefly as she detailed the alleged assault and she said of Clinton, ``my hatred for him is overwhelming.'' She said he forced himself on her when she ``pushed him away and told him `no.''' …"

2/25/99 Michael Kelly Page A23 "...So now Bill Clinton has been accused, publicly, and it appears with some real credibility, of rape.... The 55-year-old Broaddrick is, as the Journal's Rabinowitz writes, "a woman of accomplishment, prosperous, successful in her field, serious; a woman seeking no profit, no book, no lawsuit." She is no one James Carville can casually smear as trailer trash, but a nurse who built up a company of five nursing homes in Arkansas. Moreover, Broaddrick was a reluctant witness, keeping her story secret for two decades.... And Broaddrick's account is highly specific, filled with small, precise points of recollection that do not seem the sort of details someone would make up...Moreover, Broaddrick's account is supported by the account of a friend and fellow nurse, Norma Rogers, who told the Journal that she found Broaddrick in her hotel room shortly after the alleged assault "in a state of shock -- lips swollen to double their size, mouth discolored from the biting, her pantyhose torn in the crotch." It is also supported by her then-boyfriend (now-husband), David Broaddrick, who says his wife reluctantly told him of the assault soon afterward. But above all, Broaddrick's story is believable because of its wretched familiarity...."

Mark Steyn National Post 2/25/99 "...He raped her. That's what she told Lisa Myers of NBC News back in January, just as the impeachment trial was getting underway. But the network got cold feet -- unlike the president, who always keeps his socks on. "The good news is you're credible," Miss Myers informed her interviewee. "The bad news is you're very credible" -- a problem peculiar to American journalism. Last night, with Mr. Clinton acquitted and Senator-elect Rodham cruising to victory in the New York primary, NBC decided it was finally safe to air Miss Myers' report on Dateline. So what will happen now? Nothing. He raped her. Old news. Get over it. Move on. The country's reached "closure." ..."

NewsMax.Com 2/25/99 Lucianne Goldberg AKA Trixie "... In an interview with Canada's National Post, Goldberg hinted that not all allegations of forcible sexual assault by Bill Clinton are 20 years old. Here's how the National Post covered Goldberg's revelation on Tuesday: Lucianne explains, for instance, that she is unsurprised by the failure of the latest "cold bastard" allegations of "rape" against Mr. Clinton involving Jane Doe 5. So far, this charge has failed to get much beyond the Drudge Report, the tabloid New York Post and the Wall Street Journal. That is why she is now promising yet another tale, a Jane Doe 6. "It's assault, not rape because there was no sexual entry," she says. "It occurred since he became president, and comes from someone who cannot be faulted."

NewsMax.com 2/23/99 Inside Cover Report "...One of the more shocking aspects of Juanita Broaddrick's rape allegation against President Clinton is the way she says he forced her to submit. After pushing her down on a hotel room bed, Broaddrick says Clinton bit her lips until they bled. Broaddrick's nurse-friend Norma Rogers told Paula Jones investigators Rick and Beverly Lambert, who were recently interviewed for an upcoming NewsMax.com report, that the wounds were so bad that one lip was nearly torn in two...."

Freeper report 2/2/8/99Allan J. Favish "...Lisa Myers said on Meet the Press this morning that the reason Starr's investigators deemed their April 1998 interview with Broaddrick to be "inconclusive" is because Braoddrick broke down during the interview after telling them that something happened, but did not tell them that she was assaulted and raped and the investigators did not press her for details...."

Freeper report 2/28/99 4Liberty "... "Meet the Press" had a roundtable discussion with Howie Kurtz, Gene Lyons, Tim Russert, Lisa Meyers. They all looked completely dazed and sickened by the Broaddrick story - even Gene Lyons, a long-time Clinton-enabler. Lyons continued his small, defensive noises about Clinton, but he couldn't even look at the camera. Lisa Meyers was DEFENDING Ken Starr at length. She carefully and accurately responded to a question from Time Russert regarding the matter of why this horrid rape accusation was not formally introduced during the Impeachment hearings, by Ken Starr's Office. Lisa carefully explained that Starr's IC mandate was to investigate Obstruction of Justice activities by Clinton, only - including possible obstructions in the Paula Jones Trial. Meyers observed that Ken Starr's people interviewed Juanita, and Mrs. Broaddrick stated to them that she was not threatened or tampered with by Bill or the WH, with regard to her participation in the PJ trial -- so, Mr. Starr had to drop it, by Law. And he did. LISA MEYERS OF NBC WAS DEFENDING STARR -- AND WAS QUITE SYMPATHETIC TO STARR'S - REASONABLE - APPROACH TO JUANITA IN LIGHT OF THE REALITY OF HIS OFFICE'S LIMITED MANDATE, AND INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS. She in essence concluded that Judge Starr was acting carefully, judiciously, and in accordance with the Law. - that Starr was not "out of control," "partisan," or "out to get" Clinton...."

Freeper report 2/28/99 snoopyone "...There was a roundtable discussion on MTP with Susan Estrich (shameless ostrich), Bill Bennett, and Patricia Ireland. I, and a few other very observant FReepers caught what Bill Bennett said at the beginning of the discussion - that White house operatives are now admitting "on background" to many news organizations that Bill Clinton WAS at the Camelot Hotel on the morning of April 25, 1978. Interestingly, the same episode of MTP later had on Lisa Myers, who reiterated that the White House refused to answer a single question she posed to them prior to the airing of the interview with Broaddrick. They would not admit if Clinton had ever met Broaddrick, if there was any sex of any kind, etc. They would not divulge to her any information about Clinton's whereabouts around the time of the alleged assault, among other things. The White House does have files relating to Clinton's stint as Arkansas Attorney General, but refused to answer Myers' questions when the info was at their fingertips. The admission, even if "on background", that Clinton was there is a SERIOUS one!!! ..."

Political Digest 3/4/99 James Pinkerton "…Lawrence O'Donnell, for example was asked on "The McLaughlin Group" how long he thought the Broaddrick story would last: "I think the polls will come out in the president's favor on this," he answered, predicting: "I don't think the story's going to have legs." But as Lt. Columbo used to say, "There's just one little thing." And the little thing that could haunt Clinton is not the two- decades-old incident that Broaddrick alleges, but rather the 15-month old incidents that U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright remembers.

On February 16, Wright indicated that she might hold Clinton in contempt of court for his false deposition testimony in the Paula Jones lawsuit…. If Wright were to conclude that Clinton was in any way complicit with Broaddrick's false affidavit, or even that he knew it was false when Broaddrick filed it, he could face civil or even criminal contempt…. Young Susan Webber, one of his students, handed in her final exam and awaited her grade. But instead of getting a mark, she got a phone call, from none other than Prof. Clinton's girlfriend Hillary Rodham. Rodham told Webber that Clinton had lost her exam, and offered a deal: Take a B-plus for the course and forget about seeing the exam back. Webber said no, insisting on taking the exam again. This incident from a quarter-century ago illustrates that some of Clinton's ways with women have changed little. Then and now, he overextends himself, gets in trouble, and Hillary tries to bail him out Of course, the Broaddrick allegations show a possible dark side to his manipulativeness, and that's what Webber - the student - turned Wright - the judge - might want to explore. Joseph DeGenova, a former Republican prosecutor, speculates that Wright could inquire into "the facts and circumstances" surrounding the creeation of the original false affidavit….. "

NewsMax 3/4/99 Larry Elder "… Yes, she [Juanita] signed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case, denying a sexual assault. But when the federal investigators came calling, and testimony before the grand jury seemed plausible, Broaddrick recanted. Didn't someone named Monica Lewinsky also sign a false affidavit, which she, too, later recanted? Gennifer Flowers. Paula Jones. Monica Lewinsky. Kathleen Willey. Dolly Kyle Browning. And now, Juanita Broaddrick. Liars, all. Never mind that the president wagged his finger at us, saying, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Never mind the Gennifer Flowers tape recording of the then-governor in which he said, " ... if everybody's on record denying it (the relationship), you got no problems." A Fox poll, following "Dateline's" Broaddrick interview, shows that 54 percent of Americans believe Broaddrick's allegation. Only 23 percent find the charges untrue. And, post-impeachment trial polls show that 84 percent of Americans believe the president both committed perjury and obstructed justice. This means most Americans consider the president a felon and not just a run-of-the-mill felon but a rapist felon…."

WorldNetDaily 3/4/99 Stephan Archer "…A Virginia chapter of the National Organization for Women is congratulating for her courage Juanita Broaddrick, the 56-year-old business woman who accused President Clinton of raping her and is demanding that Clinton resign. Marie-Jose Ragab, the president of Virginia's Dulles Area chapter of NOW, said that her chapter believes Broaddrick's story and gives her its full support. It is Ragab's hope that Broaddrick's courage will give other women who may have been victimized by Clinton a voice in the nation's public forum. "We hope that her strength and resolve will inspire other women possibly victimized by Mr. Clinton to come forward and speak up as well," she said….Ragab is appalled that some women are once again feeling afraid in the workplace. She said she's also unimpressed with those Democrats who rebuke the president for his lack of moral decency and then turn around and whole-heartedly support him. "Although we believe Mr. Clinton is guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice as charged, we accept the judgments rendered by the Senate," Ragab said. "We are, however, unmoved by the display of moral outrage Democrats profess to feel toward a man they otherwise passionately support, someone we concluded uses and abuses women and then seeks to destroy those who attempt to expose the harm they suffered." …"

WorldNetDaily.com 3/5/99 John N. Doggett "…If you feared that Bill and his supporters would get away with murder when the Senate refused to remove him from office, don't you worry. In the real world, there are always consequences for one's actions. Bill may be a master of spin, but now that the Senate trial is over, he has lost control of the dial. Last week, Mrs. Juanita Broaddrick accused Bill of raping her 21 years ago. Bill would like to deny her accusations, but he has to keep silent. You see, the statue of limitations has run in the Broaddrick case. If, however, Bill denies Mrs. Broaddrick's allegations, she can sue him for liable and slander and force him to testify under oath. So all the master of spin can do is bite his tongue. Such is the life of the inhabitants of Dante's purgatory. Hillary told us that Bill's problems were the result of a "vast right wing conspiracy to destroy her husband." Did the right wing force him to have sex with hundreds of women during your marriage? Did the right wing force him to have sex with Monica while you and your daughter were down the hall? Did the right wing force Bill to lie to the world? Al Gore desperately wants to be our next president. Instead of siding with the forces of good, he steadfastly refused to turn on Bill Clinton. In fact, when the House impeached Bill, Al told the world that "Clinton is one of the best presidents America has ever had." Al made a pact with the devil. His price will be that he will never obtain the one thing he covets more than truth, honor, or justice…."

Wall St. Journal 3-5-99 Cynthia Alksne "…Women have solidly supported President Clinton through the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment trial. On balance, we thought he was good on so-called women's issues and were not willing to turn our backs on him based solely on a consensual relationship with a young intern. Despite this history of loyalty, feminists need to take a much harder look at Mr. Clinton in the wake of Juanita Broaddrick's allegations. Here, in a nutshell, is the problem: Ms. Broaddrick says the president raped her. Her word alone should be sufficient to require a serious response from the president, particularly in light of the support he has enjoyed from feminists and female voters. Instead, the president had his lawyer, David Kendall, issue a perfunctory statement that the charges were "absolutely false"--a statement Mr. Kendall is in no position to verify--and has refused to answer any specific questions. In essence, the president is suggesting that Juanita Broaddrick's corroborated word is not "evidence" and therefore does not merit a response. Yet one woman's word is enough to prosecute a rapist…"

CNN 3/8/99 Larry King Live Transcript "… LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, Juanita Broaddrick claims that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her 21 years ago. Tonight, her son, Kevin Hickey, speaks out for her….. HICKEY: Oh, I think it happened to other people. There have been allegations out there that this happened to other people. I don't think this was a one-time thing. I think the public is very interested in this. We didn't really know what the reaction would be after she did the interview, but it has been obvious the last couple of weeks that there are a lot of major people in politics, in the media that are calling for Bill Clinton to talk about this because so far he hasn't…..HICKEY: I think that he's set a terrible precedent for the presidency. I think that he has -- has done something and basically gotten away with it. What's to prevent some president 15 years from now from doing the same thing, having an affair with an intern in the Oval Office, and then completely getting away with it? I -- I think that's a terrible precedent to set, but I think that's the one that has been set….. HICKEY: I think that Bill Clinton has some serious problems. And I think he has -- I think he has a -- a sexualism that he cannot control sometimes, and I think when it gets out of control, you end up with situations like Paula Jones and Kathleen Willie and my mother. And I think he has a real problem…. KING: The story that won't go away. We continue with our panel…. KING: David Gergen, do you believe his mother? DAVID GERGEN, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT: Well, Larry, I kept thinking -- listening to him as the two of you talked -- what mother would tell her son that she had been raped if it hadn't happened? That's what really gave me pause. I think it added to the credibility of the story. It's possible that they're participating in some huge frame-up of the president. But he seems like a plain vanilla kind of guy. And it's just -- he was persuasive. KING: Dee Dee, you worked for Clinton. DEE DEE MYERS, FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: I certainly am not going to raise any questions about the credibility of Juanita Broaddrick or her son, Kevin, who I thought told his story quite... KING: David made a good point. What mother would lie to her son about being raped? MYERS: You would hope that nobody would. I mean, certainly, I saw her on another network, on NBC, and I thought she seemed like she was quite credible. And I thought he did a very straightforward recitation of what they have been through. And he obviously believes his mother. And I thought he was quite credible. KING: Jeff. JEFF GREENFIELD, CNN SENIOR ANALYST: I am actually astonished almost at where the last two statements leave us. The two people who work for the president are at least unwilling to say, no, I believe the president -- that nothing happened that amounted to an assault. I mean, you need... MYERS: Well... GREENFIELD: I understand that it might be... MYERS: He hasn't said anything yet, Jeff. We don't have the president's comment on this. GREENFIELD: Yes, he has.

N.Y. Post 3/9/99 WILLIAM KRISTOL "…Asked about Juanita Broaddrick's recent allegations that Clinton assaulted her 21 years ago in an Arkansas hotel room, [Donna] Shalala said she has reached no conclusion about whether she believes Broaddrick or the terse denial issued by Clinton's lawyer - and said she doesn't need to in order to do her job. ''I take all of this very seriously,'' Shalala said of Broaddrick's allegations, adding that ''I do not compartmentalize'' by making separate judgments about personal conduct and public performance. At the same time, Shalala said, ''I'm both a patriot and a professional; I serve the nation and the president.'' This conviction, she said, allows her to pursue what she considers important issues on Clinton's behalf without knowing for sure what to believe about his past. So: A cabinet secretary is agnostic as to whether or not the president she works for is a rapist. At least Donna Shalala has the courage to admit her uncertainty. No other Clinton administration official with whom the Post spoke was willing to be quoted on the record about the Broaddrick allegation. One unnamed aide did admit, ''I think you have to be troubled by it; she seems very credible.'' …"

NewsMax.com Inside Cover 3/9/99 "…Bill Clinton personally tried to contact Juanita Broaddrick within a year of an April 25, 1978 encounter where, she says, he brutally raped her at Little Rock's Camelot Motel. The stunning revelation was offered this weekend by Mrs. Broaddrick herself, in a message she asked to have posted on the Free Republic website. "Freepers" have been following her case closely ever since NBC refused to air an exclusive interview with the alleged Clinton rape victim in January. Mrs. Broaddrick had previously acknowledged only two instances where she and Clinton had personal contact: The month of her alleged rape and again in 1991 when she was summoned out of a meeting to hear Clinton's apology. But in her latest communiqué she mentions a third contact from Clinton, " ... once on the telephone in '78 or '79 when I told him to stop calling me." Broaddrick did not indicate how many times Clinton tried to contact her before demanding that he "stop calling me." …"

Weekly Standard 3/15/99 Noemie Emery "…Once upon a time, it is now hard to believe, feminists thought that rape could be serious. Very serious. Exceedingly serious. One of the most serious accusations you could make. It was not only grim in itself, it was also a metaphor, a symbol for the whole sorry state of sexual matters that feminists vowed to correct…. In 1990, Clayton Williams, Republican candidate for governor of Texas, told a bad joke comparing rape to bad weather--"When rape if inevitable, relax and enjoy it"--and his mere word brought loud screams, NOW pickets, and charges that no such man should ever hold power. But those were the old day of consciousness-raising…They are being told now that the accused male merits the presumption of innocence; that without absolute proof, the man's word is valid; that if it's an old story, it no longer has meaning; and that a rape charge shouldn't be allowed to interfere with the career of a prominent man. Thus, Juanita Broaddrick's credible charge of a rape accompanied by physical battery by a man who was then attorney general of Arkansas and is now our president is too meaningless to merit a word of reproach from, among others, Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Susan Faludi, Eleanor Smeal, former congresswoman and vocal feminist Patricia Schroeder, former governor and vocal feminist Ann Richards, or Geraldine Ferraro, vocal feminist and former candidate for the vice presidency of the United States. On cable chat shows, the ever-flexible Elizabeth Holtzman, her grin stretched as tight as a death's-head, expresses great concern for the imperiled rights of Bill Clinton. How do you defend yourself against such a charge? she wonders. On Crossfire, Clinton friend Susan Estrich claims that in the absence of proof, the benefit of the doubt goes to the accused, who is then declared innocent. But if so, innocence must also be granted to Clarence Thomas, whose denial of a far lesser charge was so much more forceful than Clinton's, and against whom no scintilla of corroborating evidence has ever been brought. So, are the apologies to Justice in the mail? Thought not…. Feminists have also made much of the power equation, according to which social arrangements are themselves weapons of intimidation, used against women by men. Indeed, Mrs. Broaddrick's charges involve not only rape, but rape by a government official, a man of vast institutional power, charged with upholding the law. …One such instance is what Brownmiller calls "police rape," in which the violation is done by an authority figure, charged with keeping these things from happening. Bill Clinton in 1978, at the time Mrs. Broaddrick says he raped her, was the top cop in his state, soon to be governor, then president, making the assault she charges him with the ultimate perversion of power. As Brownmiller writes, "The horror of police rape is special, for it is an abuse of power by one whose job it is to control such abuses of power... Police rape... represents the ultimate Kafkaesque nightmare, for when society's chosen figure of lawful authority commits a criminal act upon one of those persons he has been sanctioned to protect, where can a woman turn for justice?" Not, it appears, to the women in Congress, who used to call themselves members-at-large on behalf of all women, whose special beleaguered constituency was their imperiled and endangered sex Phone calls to the offices of senators Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulski, Dianne Feinstein, and Patty Murray (all of them strong backers of Clarence Thomas's accuser, Anita Hill) and representatives Nita Lowey, Rosa DeLauro, Zoe Lofgren, Carolyn Maloney, and Nancy Pelosi brought refusals to comment, unreturned messages, statements that the reported incident happened too long ago for comment, and assurances that the members were working on more pressing issues…."

Weekly Standard 3/15/99 Noemie Emery "…Quietly, the terrain has been subtly altered. And the things that have been changed are these: (1) Bill Clinton's plan to win the verdict of history is now all but finished. He will not succeed in painting impeachment as a partisan witch hunt, punishing him for his personal shortcomings. His legacy now has been set in concrete: He is the first elected president ever impeached and acquitted; and the first president to be credibly charged with a rape…. Has anyone noticed that, since the Broaddrick interview, the once pervasive talk about the mean, nasty, intolerant, out-of-step Republican party has more or less disappeared? Maybe Bill Clinton was not quite such a victim. Maybe the stories of Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey appear more disturbing, more like predation than sex. The dread House managers now seem somewhat less sinister, in view of what their quarry is thought to have done…. (2) Has anyone also noticed that, since the airing of the Broaddrick charges, the heavy breathing about Senator Rodham has somewhat died down?… But one thing a candidate for high public office cannot do is refuse to answer serious questions on crime. The day after the Broaddrick interview aired on Dateline, Rush Limbaugh introduced almost every segment of his three-hour radio program with cuts from Mrs. Clinton's ringing 1992 endorsement of Anita Hill, which called Hill a heroine and urged women victims of abuse to step forward. As a candidate, Hillary would be fair game….. (3) A Hillary retreat would take some heat off the hustings, but the story wouldn't quite end there. Her stand-in, Rep. Nita Lowey, an early and ardent Anita Hill backer, would herself draw Broaddrick questions. As would all feminist Democrats facing tight races in the 2000 elections. Did they fight Packwood? Did they hate Tailhook? Did they back Hill? What is the difference between Hill's case, and Broaddrick's, except that Broaddrick's charges are so much more serious? ….Every feminist Democrat, male or female; everyone who ever backed the Violence Against Women Act and then either defended Bill Clinton or has said nothing about him, is now fair game for repeated questions and protests and pickets from women themselves….. (4) Broaddrick's charges bring up another quality of Bill Clinton's that is even more disturbing than anything broached so far: his strained relationship with what most people regard as real life. To many, O.J. Simpson's odd lack of outrage when he was charged with the murders of his wife and Ronald Goldman was the tip-off that all was not kosher. Likewise, Clinton's reaction to Mrs. Broaddrick's story seems... strange…"

Weekly Standard 3/15/99 Fred Barnes "… WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS? Only a few weeks ago, they were indignant that anyone would think they took a permissive attitude toward President Clinton's wrongdoing. While opposed to impeachment and conviction in the Monica Lewinsky case, congressional Democrats insisted President Clinton should not go unpunished. "Most of us do not want to have the public believe that an acquittal means acceptance of the behavior," said Democratic Senator Carl Levin of Michigan. So they favored strong censure of the president, and, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein of California said, no one should doubt their motive. They weren't just looking for political cover. Now, weeks later, Juanita Broaddrick has accused Clinton of raping her in 1978. Now, there's no threat of impeachment and no criminal investigation. Now, Democrats are seeking no punishment at all. They're suddenly restrained and quiet. No Democrat has demanded that the truth be determined in the case. No Democrat has called for Congress or law enforcement officials to get to the bottom of the case, lest the public think the charge is being winked at. No Democrat has expressed outrage that Clinton might actually be guilty of sexual assault. Only one congressional Democrat, Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, has even said the president should respond directly to Broaddrick's accusation. One more thing--Clinton's attorney has called the charge "absolutely false." But no Democrat has stepped forward in public and said he or she believes this denial…."

Salon 3/16/99 Christopher Hitchens "… It seems to me morally feeble, as well as intellectually slack, to split the difference between Clinton and Broaddrick, or to characterize her allegation as unprovable. The feeblest summary of this compromise is contained in the lazy phrase "he said, she said." In the case of the "he," we already know that he is a hysterical, habitual liar. We also know that almost no allegation ever made by a woman and denied by him has proven to be untrue. And we know that ex-girlfriends have been subjected to extraordinary campaigns of defamation, amounting in some cases to intimidation, merely for speaking about "consensual" sex. What allegation could be more horrific than that of rape? And yet, "he" hasn't said anything yet. If I was accused of rape, and the woman making the charge was a lady of obvious integrity, I would want to do better than have a lawyer make a routine disclaimer. (Especially a lawyer, in this case the pathetic figure of David Kendall, who had not even met me at the time of the supposed crime.)…. So much for the "he said." What of the "she"? If the allegation is false, then Broaddrick is not just getting her facts wrong. She is deliberately fabricating one of the most damning charges that any one person can make against another. She must be a wicked or deluded or vicious person. There seems no escaping this corollary conclusion. There also seems no reason at all for reaching it. Where is the famous Clintonian rapid-response team? Has it no pride? Can it not find or produce any shadow of a doubt to cast on Broaddrick's character? I think that if it could, we would know by now A provisional but not unpardonable induction, then, is that she is speaking the truth…"

worldnetdaily.com 3/24/99 Joseph Farah "…[Sam Donaldson:] "Mr. President, when Juanita Broaddrick leveled her charges against you of rape in a nationally televised interview, your attorney, David Kendall, issued a statement denying them. But shouldn't you speak directly on this matter and reassure the public? And if they are not true, can you tell us what your relationship with Mrs. Broaddrick was, if any?" Clinton responded: "Well, five weeks ago today, five weeks ago today, I stood in the Rose Garden after the Senate voted, and I told you that I thought I owed it to the American people to give them 100 percent of my time and to focus on their business, and that I would leave it to others to decide whether they would follow that lead. And that is why I have decided, as soon as that vote was over, that I would allow all future questions to be answered by my attorneys. And I think the American people do understand it and support it, and I think it was the right decision." Donaldson: "Can you not simply deny it, sir?" Clinton: "There's been a statement made by my attorney. He speaks for me, and I think he spoke quite clearly." And that's how Clinton dealt with the only rape charge ever leveled against a sitting U.S. president….. So, the question remains, why won't Clinton address this important allegation? The answer is: Because the White House press corps and Congress won't force him to answer it. They have let him off the hook. Clinton beat the rap on perjury and obstruction of justice, so he won't be held accountable for rape

Washington Weekly 3/21/99 L D Brown "… Any vestige of doubt that was left after my conversation with Juanita Broaddrick's attorney was removed when I spoke to her myself last week. Her sharing with me the pain of going public about her experiences with Bill Clinton rang true -- and familiar. A compassionate, thinking and feeling woman, Juanita Broaddrick is telling the truth concerning her allegations of rape at the hands of Bill Clinton. She exemplifies the truthful witness, firm in her assertions about what happened that day in a Little Rock hotel room, and wanting only to "put all this behind me," as she put it. Her astonishment at Clinton's attempt to ensure her silence by calling Juanita out of a conference for a chat years later, still infuriates her as if it happened yesterday. Bill used exactly the same method of operation when he tried to silence me as he geared up for his presidential run in 1992. "I'm glad that I came forward, L. D.", she said after we had discussed the reluctance we shared about the timing of going public with allegations against Bill Clinton. We talked of how we had shared misgivings about not coming forward with what we knew before Bill and Hillary made it to the White House…."

Laissez Faire City Times 3/22/99 William DeVore Mickey Pall Freeper Rex Rogers "… Special surgeons at NBC literally cut the life out of what should have been the TV Event of the Year. NBC edited the piece down to 23 minutes, and they ran their mini cut a month after it was first scheduled. NBC then put Juanita's story up against the Grammy Awards without advance promotion, and late enough so that TV Guide and the other scheduling services could not alert viewers. It was a story "made for TV," one novice NBC producer said, "It wasn't easy for the top brass to avoid a wide viewership. But they tried every trick in the book." These efforts were only partly effective…."

Conservative News Service 3/30/99 Justin Torres "…A panel of press experts today discussed the coverage–or lack of coverage–of charges that then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton allegedly raped a nursing home operator in a Little Rock hotel in 1978…Hume responded that the press has not followed up on the story, or attempted to force a more detailed denial from President Clinton. "If the press wants an answer, they'll go after someone like the hounds of hell, and that will usually yield an answer after time. To say that this has not happened in this case is an understatement."….. "To say that there's no where to go and everybody believes it anyway, so you may else well drop the story, is tempting," continued Hume. "But there's more to be done. The problem is not that there's no where to go, it's that nobody's going there. That's alarming." Hume says that Fox News is attempting to continue to cover the story, but that the story is "difficult" to develop…."

White House Press Conference, 3/19/99 Sam Donaldson "...QUESTION: Mr. President, when Juanita Broaddrick leveled her charges against you of rape in a nationally televised interview, your attorney David Kendall issued a statement denying them.

NY Times 4/4/99 Christian Berthelsen "..."When women are willing to go public, it strips away the curtain and distance from the pain of the experience," said Rosanna Hill, a coordinator of the conference and member of the Rainbow Sisters Project, which is sponsoring it. The conference, at the Los Angeles Public Library, is billed as a day to honor women who have been raped and those who have raised public awareness about it...... "The only way to take back what was taken from you is to turn it around and make it positive, and sharing with others," Ms. Miller said in an interview. In a study released last year and sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the Justice Department, 18 percent of female respondents said they had been raped or had suffered an attempted rape. Officials and experts estimate that as many as 60 percent of women who are raped never report it. Such was the case for a woman in the public service announcement, who asked not to be identified by name...."

CBS via The American Spectator 4/99 John Corry Freeper Aculeus [The April 1999 edition of The American Spectator went to press weeks before the bombing of Serbia began. On page 53 John Corry writes in "Clinton Bites" about the media's soft handling of the Broaddrick story. At the end of his piece he writes the following.] "…None of this is promising. It should be obvious by now that Bill Clinton suffers from not merely reckless but clearly compulsive behavior, and that he will, as always, do anything to save himself when he gets in trouble. On the day the Broaddrick story broke in the WSJ, the most interesting, and appalling, item on the evening news broadcasts was a report by David Martin, the CBS Pentagon correspondent. The White House, he said, wanted to bomb Serbia, even though our NATO allies opposed it. It is to think the unthinkable that the proposed bombing had anything to do with diverting attention from Juanita Broaddrick, of course. The thought is overwhelming. But it is also unthinkable that we have a rapist in the White House. Who could possibly believe that, either? …"

 

National Review online 3/27/99 Philip Weiss "…No one can prove that Bill Clinton is an s.o.b. -- but everyone knows it. The best defense his defenders have come up with, which reflects the thinking of the New York Times and many upstanding Democrats, is that this is gossip that should not be brought up in polite society. But feminists have (honorably, in my view) led our society across too many traditional lines of privacy to allow us simply to will this information away. Gossip about Robert Packwood justifiably ended his career in public office. ….Moreover, after months of actual gossip, Juanita Broaddrick came forward and proved to be a hugely persuasive witness. The White House denial of the matter has been terse and witless. Is someone's statement about the worst experience of her life, which she regarded as a crime, really the same as gossip about who is sleeping with whom? Yet the defense has apparently been effective. As any Clinton critic can tell you, the charges seem to have very short legs. The president may well be a rapist; and no one cares! Mrs. Broaddrick's statement is almost never mentioned on network television or in the agenda-setting dailies and weeklies. She is so marginalized that only a nut would bring her up at a press conference. Still, I'd argue that the story is taking a toll. "This thing is like a fire in a peat bog, spreading out of sight," says Lucianne Goldberg. "But every once in a while you see a puff of smoke." Here are some of the ways this story has spread and may continue to spread:…I like to think that the Democrats' denial of this information will become legendary, that it will rank right up there with other Neville Chamberlain-like blindnesses, that history books will some day include the observation, "He may well have been a rapist, and yet elements of the power structure supported him exuberantly." Indeed, this reckoning may come "sooner rather than later," as the president might put it. In 22 months, or at such time as Clinton ceases to be president, people like the Washington Post will at last feel freer to think for themselves about who he was and what he did. Stockholm syndrome will be over. Being an optimist, I believe that the blindness about Broaddrick is so staggering that it will have the effect of destroying other articles of faith and so help to effect a reexamination of the depths of Clinton corruption -- demonstrating, for instance, that there have been cover-ups (boggling the meager abilities of Ken Starr) of responsibility in the travel-office affair and the FBI-files situation, let alone of more nefarious matters, such as the suspicious bombings of Afghanistan, Sudan, and Iraq. …."

Drudge Report 4/7/99 "…Still reeling from the rape charge made recently by an Arkansas woman on national television, the White House has carefully constructed a strategy where President Clinton does not publicly utter the term rape during the Kosovo conflict….."The president has been very careful not to use the term rape," says one insider. "But his surrogates have taken up the slack."…. "With Broaddrick's charges yesterday's news, there's really no need for him to raise the specter of rape at this point," notes one strategist. "It would be foolish." The First Lady has also tiptoed around the word rape when describing Serbian atrocities…."

Universal Press Syndicate 3/30/99 Joseph Sobran "...Am I the only one who senses that President Clinton, while making war in Kosovo, has been avoiding a certain subject? One of the perennial horrors of war is mass rape. It's no surprise that rape should be a feature of the long civil war in the former Yugoslavia, and those urging intervention against the Serbs usually cite this as a reason for outside forces to step in and do something. But Clinton, in his recitation of Serb atrocities last week, failed to mention rape, which stirs even stronger passions than murder. Could it be that he is sensitive about the subject because he has been plausibly accused of it? Who can say? But I noticed several years ago that this chronically trendy president, whom the feminists call "good on women's issues," said very little about the trendy subject of sexual harassment. He seemed to feel vulnerable on that particular "women's issue." The reason became obvious when several women accused him of making crude advances. If he's also a rapist -- which few put past him -- it's natural for him to avoid the topic of rape. ... Clinton is very sensitive to what people say about him, and he's always been especially concerned about his "legacy." As things now stand, history will note him chiefly for bringing his Arkansas id into the White House, then covering up his behavior with lies and perjury. So why wouldn't he want to create distractions not only for us, but for history? He may prefer to be remembered for a war, even another Vietnam, than for Monica Lewinsky. Though he talks of "putting people first," Clinton consistently puts himself first. He wouldn't make war unless he thought it was in his own interest to do so....Maybe Clinton has really deluded himself that he can bring peace to the Balkans by bombing. Or maybe he thinks it's a long shot but worth the gamble, since his reputation can't get much lower than it already is. As long as the bombs are falling, at least the nation isn't talking about Juanita Broaddrick...."

The American Spectator 4/99 John Corry "...Words fail. Things fall apart. The president's apologists made the expected denials, but no one believed them, and even Geraldo Rivera had the grace to look embarrassed. Juanita Broaddrick had caused a problem. The New York Times, for one, tried to ignore it, although later it tried to make amends. It said in an editorial that Bill Clinton in his past confessions had presented himself as a "recreational philanderer," but now it seemed he might be "a serial masher or worse." The wording was close to whimsical - masher had a quaint ring to it - but you could excuse the Times for that. Some things are almost too painful to talk about, and the Times, and all the rest of the press, was having a problem. How do you deal with the idea of having a rapist in the White House? Or must you deal with it at all? .....None of this is promising. It should be obvious by now that Bill Clinton suffers from not merely reckless but clearly compulsive behavior, and that he will, as always, do anything to save himself when he gets in trouble. On the day the Broaddrick story broke in the Journal, the most interesting, and appalling, item on the evening news broadcast was a report by David Martin, the CBS Pentagon correspondent. The White House, he said, wanted to bomb Serbia, even though our NATO allies opposed it. It is to think the unthinkable that the proposed bombing had anything to do with diverting attention from Juanita Broaddrick, of course. The thought is too overwhelming. But it is also unthinkable that we have a rapist in the White House. Who could possibly believe that, either?..."

The New York Observer 4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."When they were setting up, I said, 'What's the process after this interview is finished? How will you go about getting it on the air?' "Lisa said she would have to speak to her higher-ups. I said, 'Wait a minute-what are the chances that this won't run?' My stepfather was standing there. And she said, 'None.' I said, 'O.K.'" Mr. Hickey paused. "And, you know, it ran. But how could she sit there and tell us that?" The accusation by a mature businesswoman that she had been raped by Bill Clinton in 1978, when he was Arkansas' Attorney General, aired on NBC on Feb. 24, opposite the Grammy Awards. The 35-day interval between tape and air is now one of the legends of the impeachment process. Why didn't the American public get to hear Mrs. Broaddrick before the Senate voted to acquit Mr. Clinton on Feb. 12? "This came out at a time when it had the absolute smallest impact it could have," said Steve Friedman, a lawyer friend (who favored censure) said to me at lunch. "The thing was finally over. Everybody was sick of it, and the Republicans looked like a bunch of scoundrels when they said, You have to understand what we're seeing and can't talk about. It was certainly relevant to the question, his fitness to be President." My friend's suspicion that NBC protected Mr. Clinton is widely shared..."

The New York Observer 4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."Recently, the National Press Club held a panel on the Broaddrick story, "Too Hot for a 'Scandal-Weary' New Media to Handle?" where several speakers made that point. Conservative media watchdog Reed Irvine charged in the Washington Times that NBC delayed the story because executives are cozy with the President. And TV Guide has questioned why NBC's "apparent hesitation" to run the interview cost it a scoop-to the Wall Street Journal editorial page.....The mainstream press again ignored the story in the fall of 1998, when Mr. Starr's referral to Congress reported that Jane Doe No. 5 had told an F.B.I. agent that her earlier affidavit was indeed false. The press has never been comfortable with Mrs. Broaddrick's story. "It smells because it comes out of the sewers in Arkansas," one reporter said. Another said, "People hate rape stories." Its means of exposure had an air of Clinton-hatred, or the culture war, or sexual McCarthyism-whatever paradigm you choose to taint those who see Mr. Clinton's private life as having public relevance. And the story was associated with the venomous Clinton enemy Larry Nichols. Even while the press ignored it, the curious name Juanita Broaddrick became a shibboleth on the Internet, talk radio and supermarket tabloids. That is why Mrs. Broaddrick, who owns nursing homes, said she changed her mind about talking to Ms. Myers...One source outside NBC with knowledge of the process described it in this way: "They go down and do the interview. They come back. It sits there. You hear that [Jeff] Zucker, the Today czar, David Doss, the czar of Nightly News, and [Tom] Brokaw don't like this. It's not going to air on their program, nor did it. Within the first week, three problems developed that were being touted against the piece for reasons to be suspicious..."

The New York Observer 4/12/99 Philip Weiss "..."Some resistance gathered at the network around the feeling that they might be used in the impeachment context. Why was Mrs. Broaddrick going forward now
