[EnfantTerrible]

I don't know what to make of this. Anyone else care to weigh in?

1. Her original complaint was posted at Smoking Gun

and frankly I think she was deranged -

[EnfantTerrible]

2. It sounds beyond the pale

Doesn't it? Even for the chimp... at least in this context it does. If it had happened during his whiskey and cocaine days, I'd be more inclined to take it seriously... but posing as FBI agents?
It's a little far fetched for me.

[StellaBlue]

22. I don't know the story, but...

The thought that * might rape someone isn't to 'far out' sounding to me. I mean - how many college rapes are 'date rapes' or 'acquaintance rapes' - usually perpetrated by entitlement-complex-drink-fuelled fratdaddies. Like *.

Doesn't seem crazy to me at all, on the surface. Of course I would rather believe that he WOULDN'T do something like that.

But then I would also rather believe he didn't invade Iraq and kill thousands of people for sheer greed.....

3. Anyone who would represent themselves in such a case...

was most likely a bit deranged. Rest her soul.

[MrBenchley]

4. It DOES sound like she was mentally ill....

Having said that, though...imagine how often we'd have heard about this if it had been Bill Clinton who had been accused?

[Justyce]

5. no kidding...

so sick of the double-standard

[Dinger]

12. If She Was Mentally Ill, Then It's Worse

if he raped her, and I think he might have.

[WilliamPitt]

14. "if he raped her, and I think he might have"

Based upon what evidence?

[King Coal]

16. Circumceptual evidence.

[Cleita]

21. Send him to Gitmo and let our boys work on him to get a

confession. Oh, but torture doesn't really work, so I guess we are going to have to wait for the memoirs to come out after he retires.

[MrBenchley]

29. Frankly, her story smacks more of delusion than reality...

[melody]

6. another Bush enemy bites the dust

Not surprising.

I hope all Democrats stay out of light planes for the next three years.

[maxsolomon]

7. lets say this happened in 1997

to the big dog.

how fast would it have made the front page of every major newspaper in america? how fast would it have been headlined on CNN/FOX?

those who own the media decides what is news.

[ComerPerro]

24. They would have forced him to resign,

Now matter how odd the story may have sounded, or how credible the woman was.

[RedCloud]

8. A little too close to the grassy knoll...

GW was involved in training assassins back then. Maybe one needed some target practice?

[seabeyond]

9. back when bush was young, sewing wild oats

he got 1 girl preg and aborted in 72, it is said, it is up to four abortions with different women. one of them is an under aged black girl.

this woman all these years later filed report with police. it has been documented. then she died of suicide.

we have never touched this story with bush. they let it just sit. along with bush illegitimate son in texas somewhere.

and a nanny hit by a car in the driveway when she was closing a garage door

yes. i would like some answers.

[hopein08]

10. I'm confused...

when did the rape supposedly take place? What year? Why did she wait so long to press charges, if it was when Bush was doing drugs and drinking?

I'm not passing judgement at all here. These are just questions that popped into my head while reading the links.

[EnfantTerrible]

11. It didn't read to me that it was his wild days

Which makes the allegations seem far fetched. I didn't know if anyone here at DU had any other info on this so I posted it to see what folks knew.

[WilliamPitt]

13. I investigated this way back when

The woman in question had significant mental/emotional problems. There is nothing to the charge.

[yodermon]

15. But you'd have thunk

that Drudge would've at least had a blinky-light for it.

Right?

I mean he ran with the whole John-Kerry-Mistress thing last year, no?

[King Coal]

17. No so quick.

If you were raped by Bush, and I think you were, wouldn't you have significant mental/emotional problems?

[WilliamPitt]

18. That's rhetorical nonsense

Every rape victim does not go insane.

[MalibuChloe]

23. you didn't say "insane"

it sounded like you were suggesting that because she had some mental/emotional problems, she couldn't have been telling the truth. What else made you believe she was lying?

[WilliamPitt]

25. A wide variety of things

I spoke to friends of hers who had known her for years. Her delusional problems stretched back well before the alleged rape. Read the complaint itself and tell me what you think. Be sure, however, to compare it to other legal complaints. This one, she wrote herself.

[Stephanie]

28. If you read the complaint, it was quite clear that she was mentally ill

It's probably still up at Smoking Gun. She served as her own attorney. The complaint sounded exactly like the ravings of a schizophrenic. This story was never a story and I'm wondering why it's posted here now? It's nonsense.

[King Coal]

27. They do if they're raped by Bush!

And I was just kiddin' Will. LOL!

[melody]

19. She still remained a vocal thorn in their side, however

Whether or not the allegations were true.

[MalibuChloe]

20. That's why there is nothing to the charge?

Women with mental/emotional problems can't get raped?

I'm sure you're right about there being nothing to the charge, but I don't think that's why.

[WilliamPitt]

26. I didn't say that

and you know it.

[EnfantTerrible]

31. Thanks Will

EOM

[rinsd]

30. You can search DU by her name....

...this has been discussed quite a bit.

[LittleClarkie]

32. Goodness that one has whiskers

Do we have credible sources here?

[ladylibertee]

33. Sounds a little too X Files meets Porn to me.

[kestrel91316]

34. Old news, happened years ago. Sorry to say, rape was debunked.
