They do. It is a competition based on resentment with the weapon of choice being backstabbing.

What she meant was “the press corps covered up congressional Democrat sexual misconduct for years.”

Wasn't her father a congresscritter? I'm sure she picked up on who to avoid at the time, and was smart enough to discern lechers in the succeeding Congresses.

Boston talker Howie Carr brought up her lazy elitism during her tv days. DC was in the middle of a cold spell, and she didn't want to go out and do a live shot, so they dressed her up in Winter clothes and stuck in front of a shot of the Capitol Building...

A caller on Rush today said he thinks the dems that are not going to run again for office are the ones who were abusing women

According to Roberts, “every” woman in the press corps knew that there was sexual misconduct going on in congress,

And they ALL remained Silent because they believe that ALL WOMEN Deserve to be Sexually Assaulted, especially by powerful politicians.

There is NO Other answer.

It’s too bad Cokie Roberts wasn’t some sort of a journalist or talking head on TV or a radio personality at the time.

She was a long-time panelist on the ABC News Sunday show. From Wikipedia: Roberts was the co-anchor of the ABC News' Sunday morning broadcast, This Week with Sam Donaldson & Cokie Roberts from 1996 to 2002, while serving as the chief congressional analyst for ABC News. She covered politics, Congress and public policy, reporting for World News Tonight and other ABC News broadcasts.

Mr. and Mrs. Roberts both were and still are in positions to blow the whistle on congressional miscreants if they so desire.

The only reason they are doing this is to get Trump. They will destroy their entire party to get Trump.

And how many of the female press corps were trading sex for access?

“They will destroy their entire party to get Trump.”

I hope they succeed in destroying their party.

One of the democrat propagandists now admits that she and others helped cover up one of the very things they worked so hard to make into a major issue and beat to death.

After this and other admissions, who in their right mind still believes that the MSM doesn't hide and/or selectively reveal all kinds of corrupt and perverse behavior among the crowd they curry favor from?

Good for Cokie! Glad she let this slip—Drain the sewer. No more Old Boy Network. Get rid of the young girl pages—just old battle-ax feminists from now on—no more page/whores for the dirty old congressmen to lust over.

Or, they’re cleaning house before the next election cycle. Setting off all the mines early; so they don’t blow up in their faces during the campaigns.

Yes, it’s easy to attack the liberal media for covering this up, but where was the conservative media on this? Were they also complicit? Doesn’t Fox News have reporters working on Capitol Hill? What about the N.Y. Post, the Washington Times, the Daily Caller, National Review, and Breitbart. Heck, Steve Bannon lived on Capitol Hill for years. If this was such an open secret why did they not report on it?
