Hey Dave, Since RR took credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Clinton can take credit for anything he can get away with. Whatever happens on a presidents' watch is fair game.

Well Dave, I really don't want to pee in your Cheerios, and I too want to believe that history will assign both credit and blame to the appropriate people, but I tend to doubt it. I'm afraid that with the continuing revision of history and the failure of the American education system, what little history will be taught in schools will be inaccurate at best and the students will maybe know as much about it as they do about math or science. But hey, we can always hope that at least the Japanese will know the truth.

Dave,

I'd like to also do what I can to help spread the word about Newt's vindication by the IRS. You may not have heard about it. The SOBs in the mainstream press are treating the news like a State Secret. On second thought, they'd probably report a State Secret. So... ah, yes... they're treating it like one of their number caught Slick screwing a dead intern... in the oval office... on the presidential seal carpet... with Mz Slick watching... and Sid Vicious taking notes... and Janet Reno peeping through the keyhole... and AlGore nearby smoking dope while repeating the mantra: "...No controlling legal authority..." over and over and over...

MRC Blasts Networks For Spiking Vindication of Gingrich
"The Same Shameless Media Who Attacked Newt Gingrich
For Months Refuse To Acknowledge His Innocence"

ALEXANDRIA, Va.
--- "Bias defined." Those are the words Media Research Center
Director of Media Analysis Tim Graham is using to describe the extraordinary
decision by the Big Three network news departments to spike the story of Newt
Gingrich's vindication by the IRS.

"The same shameless media who attacked Newt Gingrich for months now refuse to
even acknowledge his innocence and vindication. This is bias defined, pure and
simple," Graham said.

Graham noted that despite an Associated Press report picked up by many newspapers,
as well as a New York Times story yesterday, the Big Three network morning news
shows didn't even run a mention of Gingrich's vindication. Neither have the evening
network newscasts mentioned the Gingrich story. The only network to run a story was
CNN, a full report by Brooks Jackson on CNN's Inside Politics and a mention
of the story on the CNN 8:00pm eastern time newscast as well.

"The same unfailingly partisan media which feverishly demanded Gingrich's head on
a platter over this non-scandal thinks perjury and obstruction are sorry subjects
to be glossed over," Graham said.
