They just hate Clinton...

From today's Washington Post editorial:

Yet Mr. Clinton's new book, "My Life," is also part of a long effort on its author's part to deny, and not just breeze over, his profound disrespect for the law when it inconvenienced him.

It goes on to say:

The tangled real estate investments that became known as Whitewater merited investigation, and the inquiry produced numerous convictions.

Yes, none of which implicated Clinton. In fact, 8 years and millions of dollars later, Bill and Hillary were exempted from ANY wrong doing - yet mainstream media (The NY Times and WaPo included) continue to push the false implication that the Clintons were "somehow" guilty. The editorial mentions campaign finance and the fact that Clinton allegedly "sold" out the Lincoln Bedroom. Perhaps they're right - the Clintons were certainly fond of playing close to the line - but why do they continue to promote false accusations - all of which the Clintons have been found innocent of - when no investigations have ever turned up any wrong doing. Where is their sense of the "rule of law" and "innocent until proven guilty."

What is truly unbelievable is that those who write frequently about the Clintons have simply never trusted their desire to do good. They always assume the Clintons are up to something that is self-serving - another campaign, more donations, a favored candidate for the Democratic primary who will lose and pave the way for Hillary's nomination in 2008- the list goes on and on. A President who creates record low unemployment, 22 million new jobs, erases the deficit, defeats and brings to justice Slobodan Milosevic and a wife, Hillary, who's spent a good deal of her career helping children as a lawyer and first lady, who became a popular symbol of freedom for women worldwide and has gone on to serve in the US Senate, for them to be considered simply as self-serving, conniving individuals is an example of how crude and cynical our media have become.
