Bolton ordered murder of third world babies

Over the weekend, Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer of California distributed copies of a letter by Utah woman Lynne D Finney accusing UN ambassador nominee John Bolton of ordering her to kill hundreds of third world babies in the early 1980s, or something like that. Naturally, Finney refused to carry out Bolton's odious order. A huge row ensued, with Bolton ultimately challenging Finney to a duel. In the end, nothing came of it – his seconds apparently talked Bolton out of it – and he had to settle for firing Finney, who ended up destitute and homeless.

Apparently some of the above is exaggerated. As it turns out Ms Finney is a "therapist". In the excerpt that follows, Lynne D Finney describes herself:

Lynne is an award-winning author, educator, life coach, motivational speaker, lawyer and retired psychotherapist who specializes in helping people live more fulfilling lives. She was born into the madhouse of Hollywood's fantasy factory. Her mother was an artist and her father an award-winning screenwriter and novelist. She and her parents were portrayed in magazines as "the perfect family", but behind this facade was a nightmare world of violence and sexual abuse that lasted from the time Lynne was born until she was eight years old. Lynne had four near-death experiences that profoundly impacted her life.

Finney was appointed something or other by Jimmy Carter. There's also this:

During her recovery process, Lynne began to have spiritual experiences that opened her to new perceptions of reality. She studied the scriptures of many religions, explored the teachings of spiritual masters, and emerged from a world she perceived as hell into a world of miracles. She now works to help others out of suffering, into their true power, and to realization of their true Selves.

Yes, I'm certain Ms Finney's perception of reality is ... her own. She also has books – one has been printed in Chinese! – and a CD she'd like you to buy.

Read the whole thing, it's very funny, as only a new age, enlightened lefty can be. Lynne D Finney is a con artist and Barbara Boxer's a fool; they're the perfect match.
