Was the salmonella scare reported at the Harlem offices of ex-President Bill Clinton early Thursday the result of an insider hoax?
At least one prominent media personality thinks so, based on Clinton's long record of dissembling and all too apparent hunger for the spotlight.
"You're going to have to pardon me if I'm suspicious of this," talk radio mega-star Rush Limbaugh told his audience at the opening of his Thursday show.
"I don't doubt that a vial of salmonella was sent. I just question who did it."
"You don't send vials of salmonella. If you really want to hurt somebody with it, it's in chicken or it's in food. It's somewhere where you don't know that it lurks," the nationally syndicated radio talker said.
The Clinton salmonella story appeared just two days after President Bush revealed that the White House had been the target of mail contaminated with anthrax. The confluence with the Clinton scare seemed more than a little coincidental for some.
"Bill Clinton's one of these poor guys who feels left out of all the action," Limbaugh noted. "And I wouldn't be surprised if he sent (the salmonella) to himself."
"I know a lot of you are upset with me (and are saying), 'Do you really think he would send it to himself?'"
Limbaugh answered his own question unequivocally, "Yes, especially a vial -- just to get in on the action."
