Brits Headline Clinton Coke Charge

For most of America's mainstream press, reporting on Gennifer Flowers' charge that President Clinton once offered her cocaine is strictly verboten. But in Britain, reporters know a bombshell when they see one -- and they're not afraid to inform their public about it.
Inside Cover was the very first to pose the Clinton coke question to Flowers during her August 6 appearance on Sean Hannity's New York radio show. This past Wednesday Hannity put Flowers on TV, where she repeated the charge on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
While American reporters continued to chase their tails over completely unsubstantiated rumors that George W. Bush may have used cocaine as a youth, the London Times noticed that a sitting U.S. President had been hit with a coke allegation from a witness whose credibility has been vindicated in spades.
Headlining their report, "Former Lover Drags Clinton into Drug Row," the Times reported on Saturday:
"The Republican presidential contender George W. Bush was struggling to contain a fresh flood of questions over possible drug use in his youth yesterday as President Clinton was dragged into the dispute by allegations that he had taken cocaine. Gennifer Flowers, who had an affair with Mr. Clinton that he initially denied, said she saw him smoking marijuana when he was governor of Arkansas and that he had offered to obtain cocaine for her."
The London Times quoted Flowers directly:
"'He made it very clear that, if I ever wanted to do cocaine, he could provide that,' Ms. Flowers told Fox News. 'I clearly knew that Bill did cocaine,' she added."
With rare exception, America's mainstream press has attempted to keep the Clinton coke charge secret.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one Fox on-air personality told Inside Cover, "It's scary the way Gennifer Flowers has been kept off the air."
Two weeks ago, a tape of Inside Cover's Aug. 6 interrogation of Flowers was shared with the Washington Post, which has thus far declined to report the Clinton coke charge.
Late last week, the same recording was shared with investigative reporters for two other major American dailies. On Friday the New York Post mentioned only briefly that America's President has been hit with a credible cocaine allegation, tagging the news onto yet another story about the unsourced Bush drug rumors.
The second newspaper has yet to go to press since being provided with the Flowers' tape.
Fox News Sunday's Tony Snow has reported Flowers' charge twice, re-running tape of her exchange with Hannity on Brit Hume's Thursday night FNC newscast and on his own regular Sunday morning broadcast.
All other major American news outlets have embargoed news that the President of the United States has been hit with serious allegations from a highly credible witness that he abused cocaine while chief law enforcement officer of Arkansas.
