Think the National Organization for Women would change once a new president was elected? Think again.
The new president of NOW is Kim Gandy. She gave a radio interview to WABC's Steve Malzberg recently and made the same tired old attacks against conservative talk radio...as well as a continuing eagerness to defend Bill Clinton from his detractors.
First, the talk radio thing. Gandy told Malzberg that Rush Limbaugh "is not bound by the truth. And I would think that a station like WABC really ought not to have a host making statements that are completely and totally false...He says whatever he feels like saying."
Yes, it's the old "Republicans are liars and Democrats tell the truth" slam. Apparently Kim Gandy believes Democrats are shooting straight with the American people when they say gunfire kills 13 kids a day, or when they say oil companies' profit margins are 50 percent, or when they claim that a tax cut would only benefit the wealthy.
Then there's the organization's defense of the former Philanderer-in-Chief. Malzberg asked Gandy about the charges that Bill
Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick. Gandy told Malzberg that there had been a full and complete criminal investigation of Broaddrick's claims by the district attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, where the rape took place. When Malzberg asked her about the outcome of the DA's investigation, Gandy said she didn't know.
She didn't know because THERE WAS NO SUCH INVESTIGATION!
The Little Rock DA's office never conducted any criminal investigation. No one knew of the crime until 1999, when Broaddrick went public with her story. Arkansas' statute of limitations had expired 16 years earlier.
What does Kim Gandy's ignorance of the Juanita Broaddrick case tell us about her? It tells us she's not really interested in finding out whether Bill Clinton, that great Democratic hero, really committed such a crime. For her and her organization, it's all about supporting Democrats and getting those mean, nasty Republicans.
Does anyone in this country take NOW seriously anymore?
