Strawman

I didn't say she was lying. I believe she is telling her story to the best of her memory precisely because she is telling statements that seem to counter what she wishes were the facts. I'm saying her memory should not suffice as evidence unless you are willing to accept memory as sufficient in other cases as well. She may well accurately remember disgruntlement with Bush, but the level and the specifics are not necessarily accurate after all these years. She also admits to disliking Bush. You don't think that can shade memories? I know damn well it does. People tend to remember the best of those they like and the worst of those they dislike.

Mark
