Reply #12: By the Way, "Gossip" Has Nothing to Do with Your Implied "Untruth" [View All]

[UTUSN]

As I posted a jillion times back when Kitty KELLEY was frequently dismissed as a "gossip", the dictionary definition is replete with words like "intimate," "report," "facts," "personal," and "sensational"---and nary the word "untruth". That said, the REASONS I gave in my previous post are not gossip. Neither are the SPECULATION?(Ha!) of specialists who chart the patterns of pedophiles. That said, your opinions and mine don't have to satisfy one another. Guess what, I also believe O.J. did the deed and that the Shrubbites stole BOTH '00 AND '04, and that Shrub invaded Iraq to get out of his father's shadow and to wreak vengeance for his wimpy father---and I don't have to prove it.
