Misdirection is one of the classic tactics and Bill is indeed a master of the same. That said, I wouldn't say the diversion is working. In fact, given some of what has managed to be broadcast in the M$M in the last few days (in direct contradiction of Xlinton's statements) I wonder if Bill has finally worn out his welcome (or at least the presstitutes have seen the writing on the wall, that the American people bought a clue on this subject).
He (and his sycophant followers led by James Carville) attacked Jennifer Flowers, they attacked Paula Jones, they attacked Kathleen Willey, they attacked Juanita Broaddrick, they attacked Ken Starr, they attacked his Ark state troopers, heck, they even attacked (and are still attacking) their imagined VRWC!!.
That 'defense' plan has always worked for them in the past--at least up until now. We'll see if it continues to work. I fear that it may work in a 'pre-emptive' mode to stop any further questioning of Slick's record.
I fear that any other member of the MSM will now be AFRAID or INTIMIDATED to DARE ask Slick or Hillary anything that could even POSSIBLY 'set them off'.
