Conservative nutbag Michelle Malkin gets the ball rolling on the 21st century version of “The Clinton Body Count” by hinting that Hillary Clinton put out a hit on Norman Hsu. You’ll remember that the right has held to the mythology of Hillary Clinton killing Vince Foster for almost two decades now, and they are psychologically compelled like the mental patients that they are to find the Clintons up on the grassy knoll time and time again.

Silly Oliver. Everyone knows that if Hillary could just kill Hsu, then the whole problem would just go away! Everyone would forget all about the tainted contributions and Hillary’s assaciations with a shady criminal. It all makes sense!
Almost two decades? Foster died in 1993. Do the math.
Exactly. There is no political scandal too trivial and pointless to rule out assassination as the perfect default solution!
I must be missing something. Where exactly is this hint that Hillary Clinton put a hit on this guy?

In the comments thread to Malkin’s post. No, no, Malkin didn’t say that Hillary had anything to do with it. She just serves up the dark insinuations of conspiracy and lets her flying monkeys take it from there.
Yes, but Malkin’s plausible deniability is well in play…”just because I let it stand doesn’t mean I agree with it,” she writes above her comments section. If you asked Malkin point-blank whether she believes Hillary had Vince Foster and Norman Hsu killed, she would be aghast, I am sure, at the accusation.
(This, of course, is the same reaction that the administration has when pressed on the Iraq/9-11 connection. “We never said they were connected! How could so many people get that wrong idea?”)
“I must be missing something.”
that goes without saying …
Of course some right wing blogs talk about “truthers” when dealing with conspiracy theories and ‘Bush knew/funded/allowed’ remarks about 9/11 with no sense of irony at all. The very idea that other folks should use making stuff up against their guy (when reality is bad enough) is just terrible. Now, who else did the Clintons off?
