Generally I have been surprised by your recent showing of common sense here on the Current Events board. It was so good that I was even thinking of writing you a note, but sadly once again I get my hopes up, only to have you dash them to pieces.

"Her interview on CNN is just off the wall. Everyone that contradicts her has been scared by the Bush administration."

Kelly's current project was well knowm, and if you do not think she and every source she contacted was watched like a hawk, you are delusional. You got any idea of the money and stakes involved here? The results of the services of private investigators have regularly been shared with campaigns, with no money trials showing up - the information is valued at $0 for campaign law purposes.

"I'm soooo scared now for bashing Bush on tax cuts and global warming. oooh someone might pull me in a dark ally for it."

W Bush could care less about your views. Now if you happened to smoke a joint or do a little blow with him back in the day, and Kelly was trying to contact you, then you could be sure that that situation would be different.

"Her journalistic standards are obviously of the highest standards typical of gossip columnists"

Yes, they are. Kelly writes to English standards of liability for slander, and you can be sure that she is ready to back up everything she wrote to at least double depth, if not triple.
