All it takes is one poorly worded report and all of the sudden Twitter remembers that the Clintons murdered Vince Foster and it’s on, again, in conservative circles.
In this case, the poorly worded report came, not the least bit ironically, from My San Antonio, which quoted Cibolo Creek Ranch owner John Poindexter saying that “[w]e discovered the judge in a bed, a pillow over his head. His bed clothes were unwrinkled.” The fact that his physician, Brian Monahan, told the Washington Post that “[p]atient confidentiality forbids me to make any comment on the subject” didn’t help either.
In short, then, the “pillow over his head” screamed murder, to those inclined to hear it as such, even if the “unwrinkled” “bed clothes” indicated that he’d died peacefully, which has led to this:

For those who claim that a new justice shouldn’t be appointed before the next president is elected, something worth remembering:
