The Maverick Conservative

This is a continuation of my "you are a kook if:" series.  There have not been too many entries in the series lately.  That is not because there are fewer kooks (excactly the opposite is true), but because the "kookisms" are mainly the same old ones (like President Bush being involved in 9/11, or preparing a war criminal hideaway in Pakistan).   Yesterday and today, however, there is a new "news" item worthy of inclusion in this hall of shame.

You ARE a kook if:

110.  You believe, or RAISE THE QUESTION on a "news" program, that Prince Charles arranged to have Princess Diana murdered.  Yes, Fox News (part of the problem and not part of the solution), you are KOOKS.  Last night, and this morning, Fox News was playing up big the newly released letters of Princess Diana, and whether they indicate that Prince Charles wanted to kill her.  In the words of those KOOKS at Fox and Friends:  "Did Prince Charles want Princess Diana dead, like in a CAR CRASH."

It just does not get any worse than this.  This is NOT "news".  It is BACK FENCE GOSSIP (see my series starting on Saturday, with ancillary entries, under the headig:  "Drew Peterson and the Evil Media"). 

Nope.  It does NOT "raise questions" about the death of Princess Diana that she may have said paranoid things about Prince Charles.  You ARE a kook if you think it does.  You are, in fact, condoning EVIL (the evil of "back fence gossip"--in this case for the purpose of RATINGS).
