\"conspiracy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Conspiracies never die. They’re immortal. They have more lives than thousands of cats.<\/p>\n

Who killed JFK? What did FDR know about Pearl Harbor? Was 9\/11 an inside job?<\/p>\n

These things make me crazy.<\/p>\n

Now comes the “vast right-wing conspiracy” put forwarded by Bill and Hillary Clinton. It’s back.<\/p>\n

Bill Clinton to join the fight<\/a><\/p>\n

The former president says all this talk about e-mails and whether his wife, the former secretary of state and current Democratic presidential candidate, is part of the “right-wing conspiracy” cooked up by his foes as he was considering a run for the presidency way back in 1991.<\/p>\n

I wish he and his wife, Hillary Clinton, would leave that argument alone.<\/p>\n

President Clinton told CNN about a menacing phone call he got from the White House as he was preparing to challenge President George H.W. Bush. The caller allegedly told the then-Arkansas governor he’d better not run, or else his foes would dig up tons of dirt on him.<\/p>\n

Media officials — such as Washington Post assistant managing editor Bob Woodward, no slouch as a journalist — said the call never occurred. Others have said the same thing.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton coined the term “vast right-wing conspiracy” early in her husband’s presidency. She said conservatives conspired to cook up lies about the president\u00a0in an effort to destroy him.<\/p>\n

There’s little doubt that some of the allegations of wrongdoing were bogus. Was it all part of a concerted conspiracy? No one has yet come close to proving that to be the case.<\/p>\n

The conspiracy theory, though, is back.<\/p>\n

Oh, brother.<\/p>\n
