The libel continues. Today (yes I said today - Tuesday August 22, 2000) the St. Paul Pioneer Press ran this editorial excoriating the Republicans for leaking the story about the Ray grand jury and predicting this dirty trick will backfire. This thing is taking on the dimensions of a Big Lie:

The other event, which happened just hours before Gore took to the podium, was the leak to the media that Independent Counsel Robert Ray had convened a grand jury to determine whether President Clinton should be indicted on criminal charges involving his testimony in the Monica Lewinsky case.

No doubt the leak was timed to cloud Gore's most important moment in the political sun. But the immediate reaction among Democrats and even independents suggested that this tactic, whether by Republicans or GOP supporters or Ray's office, had already begun to backfire in Gore's favor.

While the Bush campaign vows to end the Clinton-Gore era, this grand jury leak, and Gore's strong performance at the convention, may do more to bring an end to the Bush-Cheney era before it even begins.
