Meet Your Liberal Media: Whitewater Whitewashers Edition

In a front page article on Clinton-haters, the oh-so-liberal New York Times identifies subliterate author David Bossie only as president of a "conservative lobbying group," Citizens United and someone who helped to "foment the Whitewater scandal." (I thought that was Jeff Gerth.) No mention is made of the fact that Bossie was a Republican staffer on the House Government Reform and Oversite Subcommittee, who got shitcanned by its chairman, Dan Burton, because, as Atrios says, he "was busted releasing heavily doctored transcripts to the press who, reliably, rushed the information into print."

More fun facts about Bossie can be found here.

The article also reports that former Georgia Representative Bob Barr is writing a book on his role in the failed impeachment of President Clinton entitled "The Meaning of Is." The Times left out his full title, "adulterer, accused perjurer and litigious loser Bob Barr."

I guess the NYT assumes its readers are all so liberal they know the dishonorable records of these lowlifes by heart. Or perhaps the paper just wants to smear the President again.
