From The American Spectator - Democrat primary challenger to Arlen Specter says he was offered a Whitehouse job in return for his withdrawal from the race.
To his credit, Arlen Specter, when asked about the allegations, does not cover up, but describes the crimes that these offers entail.
An impeachable offense if true.
Except of course, there will be no newspaper 'reporters' hounding the truth in this case.
But I still have to ask - 'What did the president know, and when did he know it?'
Since this involved the patron saint of reporters, we won't get any investigative journalism from them.
ReplyDeleteI just shake my head at what our "press" has become.
Become? Don't tou mean what they always were? Johnson probably did things that were worse than Nixon did, and they wouldn't even touch him -- much less Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine if Nixon had a fling with a gun moll?
"Can you imagine if Nixon had a fling with a gun moll?"
ReplyDeleteI don't know who'd be more shocked, me or Nixon.
Matt, that's true - and they sure took runs at Reagan and GHW Bush - but...
ReplyDelete...interestingly, it was the New York Times that took the lead on investigating the Whitewater real estate deal that dogged both Clintons for so long.
Of course that turned into a fiasco for Clinton and the Democrats, though Whitewater itself never amounted to anything.
I think that since the WaPo had bagged itself a President, the Times couldn't look itself in the mirror every morning without trying to do the same.
This time, you can be sure - if any Times story threatens the Presidency of Barack Obama, it will be killed.
As for ABC et al - dunno... if they sense they are getting too far behind a story with legs, a story undermining a President with growing unpopularity... the networks aren't as committed to "the narrative" as the NYT is...
