Perhaps some discretion was offered by the Old Media's lack of interest in following up on the oddly coincidental deaths of James McDougal, Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Mary Mahoney, Ed Willey, and a few dozen other unfortunate peeps who (allegedly and according to some websites) had the "goods" on the Clintons.
Ooo, wouldn't this make a cool political commercial, say in October 2008?
