The real definition of “farfetchedly” in this context means that this book could really make a differnce and Time was compelled to start attacking Russ Baker’s credibility before his book is even on the book shelves. I could hear through one of the bathroom doors at Time, “My God this ‘son of a bitch’ is liable to start a Congressional Investigation of the Bush Family & Friends just like that Marine General, Smedley something, did back in the 30′s.” “I mean I was just talken to one of those Bush people not to mention his name.” “He said do something quick.” “What we’ll do is get someone to write a nice fair review and stick the knife in at the end.” “Let me pull out my dictionary. How about farfetched-it means barely believable or unlikely.” “Great, get Grossman to do it.” “Done deal.”
