freecounterpoint: Betting on the clever horse?

Clearly, she thinks she got a winner here. Will she now try to weasel out of it, or will she stick with her pick?

My Frontier Thesis said...: OhhhHHhhh, right you are, AI: this will be an interesting derby to follow. Do you suppose these statements were made while an AK-47 was being pointed at her, off-camera? Or does she believe this herself?; 3/31/2006 6:08 PM

Tecumseh said...: Well, there surely was some measure of duress, but not nearly enough to explain the scene, not by a mile. She looks quite at ease, and warms up to the subject (me likes the strong horse, he's much smarter, etc) in a way that one would not normally do unless one really believes such equine excrement, as JJ would say. Besides, she said after being released that she was "well treated" (or words to that effect), which precludes AK-47s pointed at at her, no?

This story stinks to high hell, methiks. What are the chances, though, that our valiant investigative reporters will dig deeper into what hapenned? Or am I being too tin-foil-hatter on this one?; 3/31/2006 10:31 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: One thing is for sure: in about fifty years, this story provides good material for a whole truck-load of history MAs.

Personally, I agree with you AI: her bleatings were heartfelt.; 4/04/2006 2:03 PM
