decided to use the Truthers to her advantage and stated that the official story was bogus and set up a new investigation. What do you think the political implications would be?

hymm...well, the bush admin set up a second investigation (NIST) so why not a third?

people in the government with things hide (conspiracy or not) would obviously try to keep it from happening.

all in all i have no idea.

what do you think?

Her favorability would drop to 7% immediately.

I think there are two possibilities:

a) After intensive and thorough investigation, the report is issued (in mid-September 2010, just before the mid-term election) saying there is no evidence of a Bush conspiracy, but there are a number of examples of various government officials in various government agencies who were asleep at the switch.

The election is held amid overwhelming disgust at the previous administration and only about 12 Republicans are left in Congress.

b) After intensive and thorough investigation, the report is issued (in mid-September 2010, just before the mid-term election) saying there is after all evidence that there was a Bush conspiracy to kill thousands of Americans as a pretext for war. Riots ensue in towns and cities across America where 2/3's of all registered Republicans are strung up to lamp posts. The other 1/3 flee to Canada which then builds a sea-to-sea fence to keep out Americans trying to hunt down the traitors.

Anti-Clinton Video Draws Web Audience
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer
Tue Oct 30, 1:45 AM ET

WASHINGTON - First came the Orwellian mash up YouTube video that portrayed Hillary Rodham Clinton as Big Brother. Then came a clip of her off-key rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Now, a stinging 13-minute video by a bitter Clinton foe is finding its own Internet audience.

The clip, a preview of a longer film by one-time Clinton donor Peter Paul, has scored more than 1.4 million hits on Google Video and about 350,000 on YouTube during the past week.

Its popularity has driven it to the top spot on Google Video over the past two weeks.

Paul is a Hollywood entrepreneur, former partner of Spider-Man creator Stan Lee and convicted felon who has sued the Clintons in connection with a celebrity-packed fundraiser he helped organize for her 2000 Senate race. A California appeals court earlier this month ruled that Sen. Clinton should be dismissed from the suit.

But Paul has devoted a Web site to the case and his film, "Hillary Uncensored," in recent days has been touring New England College campuses. On Tuesday, the film is scheduled to be screened at the Metropolitan Club in New York City.



The Clintons have long argued that Paul's criminal record discredits him and in court pleadings have denied Paul's claims against them Idea

"Peter Paul is a professional liar who has four separate criminal convictions, two for fraud. His video repackages a series of seven-year-old false claims about Senator Clinton that have already been rejected by the California state courts, the Justice Department, the Federal Election Commission, and the Senate Ethics Committee," the Clinton campaign said in a statement.
