This is pretty close to what I was trying to say: The real outrage today is not Clinton's despicable pardon of Marc Rich. Everyone in America who hasn't chosen to close their eyes or look the other way the last eight years is completely aware of what to expect from Bill Clinton. The real outrage is the current moral indignation towards Clinton from the Democrats and the liberal media now that he is no longer president. . . . Which brings us to today's latest Clinton outrage and the furious backpedaling by the elite media and the Democrats, attempting to wipe their hands of their complicity in the disgrace that is Bill Clinton. These people share in the shame of the Marc Rich pardon and have no right to feign moral outrage after all that has transpired. Where have they been last eight years? How convenient now that Bill Clinton is no longer president suddenly their moral compasses appear, and as a result anti-Clinton editorials and stories flow freely week after week. Well, history will not forget where these people REALLY were during the Clinton years. The record clearly reflects all the years that Al Hunt, Margaret Carlson, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Tom Daschle, Dick Gephardt and the rest of the Democratic and liberal establishment sat by and defended Bill Clinton as he trashed the Presidency and demonized his detractors as mean-spirited partisans. We will not forget that it was the Democratic Party and the national press who were the enablers that allowed Bill Clinton to prosper when he rightly should have been removed from public life a long time ago. Time will prove to the world what conservatives have known for years: the individuals trashed by Clinton and the liberal press (Bob Barr, Tom Delay, Dan Burton, James Rogan, Henry Hyde, Lindsay Graham, and Ken Starr to name just a few) and so many others who were willing to stand up and endure vilification in order to expose the TRUTH were on the right side of history. Those who were on the wrong side - and yes there was and is a right and wrong side - should not be allowed today to simply wash their hands of the disgrace of the Clinton years as if they were somehow innocent bystanders, because we know and they know, they were not. realclearpolitics.com
