I never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right.
But here's some insight from Simpson on that:
And let me tell you, if anybody thinks — if this had happened to anybody else in America, it would have been like a sparrow belch in a typhoon.
WALLACE: Fair to say that your friend doesn't have much regard for the mainstream press, sir?
SIMPSON: I tell you, no. I think he has a high regard for the press, but he has a dismissiveness to stupidity. And where it started, where it started was when he and Colin Powell and Pete Williams, their press guy, when he was secretary of defense, answering questions on the first Gulf War, questions like when will you attack, where will the attack take place and how many forces.
Now, you've got to have rock for brains to ask questions like that. And I think at that time he just thought if they're goofy like that, you know, why not just stay away from them.
***Maybe that's when they started going mad and we missed all the signs.
BTW, this is a great quote from Simpson:
And let me tell you, if anybody thinks — if this had happened to anybody else in America, it would have been like a sparrow belch in a typhoon.
I love this man.
Simpson used to crack me up. He once said of Sam Donaldson, "Sam is a self-made man, thus saving God from an awesome responsibility." Anyway, yeah, I think Sore Loserdom is a sickness that has completely possessed the left. They were always nutty, but now they are totally unhinged.
When it was learned privately that Bubba was having a tryst with some fat intern, Newsweek sat on the story, and when Drudge ran with it, the left-winged press, in all it's unhinged bias, was angrier at Drudge than they were with Clinton for exposing a story they were hellbent on sitting on for the remainder of Clinton's second term.
The left-winged media made it more about themselves and their hero Clinton, than anything else because their space had been violated by some alleged and delusioned "VRWC".
