At the start of the day, the press was full of its usual outrage over this, by three o'clock, radio callers were repeating refutations I first saw on the web this morning- and repeating them with anger and vehemence.
I think this will follow "the photo issue" and "the Enron issue" into instant oblivion when the left realizes they are opening Pandora's Box on clinton and themselves...
I wonder about the timing of all of this. The Bush administration started this firestorm which to me indicates that they decided now was the time to get this story out there. Why now?
Right-e-o!
It's getting to be quite entertaining watching the dims and their syncophants in the media flog some trumped-up issue in desperation, only to have the public yawning (or b*tch-slapping them) in the afternoon. We get a full cycle within twenty-four hours, they get up like lions and go to bed as lambs.
Their commentary of late has been so ridiculous that after the rapid response rebuttal by the Bush administration, they just slink away. They are increasingly desperate. What's also interesting is how they can't quite get away with the bald faced lies like x42 did. They either just don't quite get the pass that clinton (the old charmer)did, or they are just not quite proficient enough (as liars). Clinton was indeed a master of plausible deniability, and whenever he came too close to being "found out", the pressitudes gave him cover. One effective technique for him was situation control. He never (or at least rarely) submitted to direct questionning by the press.
