Recently I heard or read a story that HRC had stiffed an Iowa waitress (leaving no tip at all) and then used that same woman’s story of struggle in a subsequent stump speech. The story left some room for doubt (staff error, or whatever) – but one had wince a little at all the stereotypical buttons it pushed (i.e. women don’t tip well > bitchy women take pleasure in NOT tipping> HRC is a particularly outstanding bitch).

So it was not unexpected to see more on the story

and in fact it was more than a little satisfying to see that not only the orignal story was inaccurate and incomplete – but that it was flatly and completely false.

And then yesterday afternoon what do I hear? – the local talk-radio lip flapper Pat White, parroting the original, false story! I emailed over the article that debunks it – but to no avail.

So in short, if a pebble sends ripples all across the pond, one radio-borne blockhead taking a deceitful headlong dive probably ensures that people will be quacking about this for weeks to come

Edit: and speaking of besieged women who are seeking political power – isn’t Benazir Bhutto beautiful? That woman could have been a model

Congrats. What a nice event, births.
