I hope you'll excuse me if I don't hold my breath...

Hillary and her flying monkeys will escape, and nobody outside of those who are active on the Internet will know. The only reason that the TANG/60 Minutes scandal really made waves wasn't because of those of us on the Internet. It was because 60 Minutes, and CBS News were seen as ripe targets by their competition. So, it was in the best interest of the other major media to cover it. I don't think that anyone in the MSM would have imagined that the story would end with Rather being ousted: More likely, just a bit of egg on his face, to knock him down a rung or two.

In the case of Hillary, the media isn't about to go against her. While I wouldn't say that she's a darling of the media, they don't have the sort of animosity against her that they do against conservatives or republicans. They don't see it as a oportunity. Not like with DeLay.

It also has a lot to do with the overall charges against the Clintons to be so terrible as to appear outrageous, no matter how accurate.
