[1965]

Will James join the infamous excuses of Bill Clinton, Carmen Lawrence, Alan Bond and Beth Morgan.

 



BILL CLINTON was the master of the ''I don't recall'' defence. In the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, his deposition reportedly resorted to this answer 267 times.

In fact, he used those exact words only eight times. But the then US president uttered 71 ''I don't remembers'', 62 ''I don't knows'', 17 ''I'm not sures'', six ''I don't have any specific recollections'' … And so on.

That was 1998. Four years earlier, Australia's corporate fraudster Alan Bond was practising the art of courtroom memory loss at his bankruptcy hearing. Reporters couldn't keep count of his ''I don't knows'', ''I just can't remembers'' and ''I don't recalls''.

Bond offered the excuse that a succession of minor strokes had caused the brain damage that robbed his memory. But it went with the territory in Western Australia. In 1995, during the royal commission that investigated events surrounding the suicide of Perth lawyer Penny Easton, the former WA premier, Carmen Lawrence, managed 19 ''I don't recalls''.

So brave

Maybe he was knocked off his bike by the karma bus

Does anyone else think, that maybe we've got James wrong? I mean, this untimely accident really rams home that he is just human and prone to the unfortunate circumstances in world. And I think this message is important.

Given Essendon's efforts so far this year, I guess he was right when he said coaching again would be just like riding a bike....

No, I think he needs to stop trying to imitate Lance Armstrong.

Is he admitting liability or is it the roads fault?

Robbos article as per usual was bizarre.

Slobbo's very existence and the high profile he's managed to somehow attain within the AFL is bizarre...
