Whitewashing Whitewater

LITTLE ROCK — In his new presidential library that opens today, Bill Clinton defiantly mocks the impeachment proceedings against him, charging that the independent counsel who investigated him had "a bias against the president" and blaming Republicans for engaging in the "politics of personal destruction."
    The former president, in exhibits he approved, repeatedly castigates Newt Gingrich, accusing him of instructing Republicans to label Democrats as "sick," and asserts that the former House speaker led a cabal of radical right-wing "revolutionaries" bent on destroying Mr. Clinton for one reason: "Because we can."

All of the text included in the exhibit was personally approved — and in some cases, even written or "tweaked" — by Mr. Clinton himself, said Bruce Lindsey, a longtime Clinton confidant who served as White House deputy counsel for the former president.
    Although Mr. Gingrich would not comment on the new exhibit, his spokesman did.

    "Why should anyone expect that a dishonest administration would produce an honest library?" Rick Tyler said. "It looks like we have the first 'I pity me' presidential library."

In fact, at least 14 persons were convicted in the Whitewater investigation for fraud or conspiracy involving bogus loans through public institutions, mail fraud and income-tax evasion, among others. Mr. Clinton himself agreed to a five-year suspension of his Arkansas law license as a means to end the Lewinsky inquiry and head off an Arkansas court move to punish him for misleading answers in a deposition taken during the Paula Jones sexual-harassment suit.

This was the first article I read this morning over coffee.......it was placed on the front page, below the fold, right under a similar story of the use of media for the dissemination of propaganda: 'NORTH REMOVES KIM PORTRAITS'

Juxtaposition? You be the judge.

*LOL*
