It seems to me there are two ways to react to this story. One is to lap up every word while chortling "Hah! They got him! Bush The Crook! He'll be in handcuffs any minute!"

The other is to put it down about the middle of the second paragraph thinking, "What is this jihad the media is on? It just gets thicker every day. Next they'll be telling us that we've deposed a perfectly fine fellow who was busy helping the poor until we went over there and screwed it up."

Has anybody seen a poll that could tell us whether the media is shooting Bush or themselves with this crap? I know what I think, but I'm a wingnut.

As usual, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Which end of the spectrum it lies closer to is anybody's guess. Historians a generation or two hence will have to make the final judgment on that.

I really don't give a flip whose interest is served by running this story. What I care about is the truth.

After eight years of hyperventilating about Clintonian mendacity, we're about to find out who really cares about truth-telling and who's only concerned with being on the winning side.
