The comparison is not going to work.

Because of the salacious nature of the Lewinsky deal, the immediate reaction of the MSM seemed to be “Uh-oh, our boy is toast”. It took a day or two for them to realize Clinton would probably survive and a little longer to start turning the thing against the Pubs.

This time the MSM is determined to keep the deal under the rug and not allow it to boil over. Yesterday, the AP said Bush did the same thing and the Pubs are a bunch of hypocrites— not an exact quote, but very close. The MSM is not going to repeat its earlier mistake of actually trying to dig up facts as they did when the Lewinsky story first broke. This is going to be “nothing here to get upset about” the whole way.

The only reason I bring up the comparison as a timeline is merely to show that even when the press is against the president (Nixon), or when there was damning physical evidence (Monica) the process drags out.

I do not disagree that the media will carry Obama’s water. As discovery plays out and physical evidence is presented to Issa’s committe, who knows what will happen (Serendipity)?

I like the poem on your home page. Who wrote it? I have many fond memories of living in TX for nearly 10 years, and I attest that what is writ about Texas grit on your home page is true. I just wish that the author had had it in his heart to credit, also, The Yellow Rose for keeping Santa Anna occupied so that Genl. Sam could take them by surprise.The Yellow Rose

Ms. Attkisson just appeared live on BOR. Ole’ blowhard did his usual interview where he kept talking over his guest when she was trying to answer his questions.

She appeared much more measured and “precise” in her comments, especially on the cursing thing but she acknowledged it was a very important story that she is obviously not letting go of it.
