Clinton Rules

It is worth a bit of time for us all to remember and reacquaint ourselves with the Dumond case and associated other bits of wingnuttery. This pet issue of the wingnuts was bouncing around for years. This book was released in 1993.

Sadly, Nexis TV trancripts aren't quite as fleshed out as they are now, with mostly just descriptions of shows rather than actual transcripts. I liked these two.

Neither is even what Dumond claimed. Earlier news reports talk about exonerating DNA evidence. Which didn't exist. I hope Mancow is haunted by the ghost of the woman Dumond killed after leaving prison.
