One of the oft-repeated quotes of the Clinton era is the “vast right-wing conspiracy” allegation made by Hillary Clinton on the Today show in January 1998, as the “Monica” case was exploding onto the scene. Well, surprise, surprise, if you look closely, there have been several recent sightings of evidence of left-wing collusion (a lighter […]
A Clinton Retrospect
A part of me had hoped to allow Bill Clinton to go away with good riddance and without editorial comment and to simply accept his eight years in our faces as an unfortunate mistake on the part of a large number of well-intentioned people who were duped by the best political con-man of the 20th […]
