Didn’t the so-called journalists hound Clinton day in, day out? Wasn’t he guilty? Isn’t Clinton a dirt bag still? What about the tax cheaters in Obama’s cabinet? Where are the full accountings of their dishonest pasts? The use of Nixon to draw fire away from the current batch of lowlife politicians is getting old hat, really old hat. In fact, I don’t think that old saw will play much longer. The biased media is tone deaf, and still playing their OneNote song.

The Republicans and right-wingers have been using the same strategy ever since to try to ward off reporting they didn't like or that didn't suit their political purposes, and to explain their losses in elections. They've been fairly successful using this strategy, but more and more voters are seeing through it, as the last two elections showed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-49911770488859763682009-06-28T19:01:21.715-07:002009-06-28T19:01:21.715-07:00I have a great idea.
