"I don't have to read it - saw him on PBS's NewsHour Monday night. All the other journalists on the show disagreed with him and rightly acted as though he was a lunatic." I saw him on PBS too, but didn't get the same impression that you did. It is remarkable how much time you have to post your opinions that seem to be informed by everything except anything that might possibly be contrary to them. So just for the record, an excerpt from Lyons editorial: "It gets weirder the longer you look at it. Both newspapers tell of Willey's hanging public, full-mouth kisses on Clinton at Virginia campaign appearances. Her affecting "60 Minutes" story bears only superficial resemblance to the halting tale she told in the Jones deposition. Asked what she told her adult daughter, who pointedly asked about the truthfulness of an earlier Newsweek story alleging that Clinton groped her--a story peddled to Michael Isikoff by Tripp--Willey testified that she did not recall. Willey's one-time best friend, Julia Steele, presumably also a tastefully dressed woman who knows which fork to use at a French restaurant, says Willey is lying about her encounter with Clinton. I think I believe Steele. In the hubbub over Willey, the national press contrived to ignore last week's stunning story by Murray Waas, with reporting help from me, in Salon about troopers Larry Patterson and Roger Perry taking money from Jerry Falwell and Citizens for Honest Government. Will it also bury today's Salon story by Waas and Jonathan Broder (www.salonmagazine.com) about cash payments to ace Whitewater witness David Hale from the "Arkansas Project" financed by Richard Mellon Scaife through the American Spectator?"
