Springtime For Haters

With the release of President Clinton's book, the Clinton-haters were out in full force this morning, attempting to relive their glory days of the 1990s at the cost of the truth.

On Reliable Sources, Howie the Putz showed a clip of that grinning idiot, Margaret Carlson, who was opining that Clinton's book was hurting the Kerry campaign. (That's her job!) He also replayed some idiot spewing bile about the President on O'Reilly's program. Kurtz then engaged in some weak Clinton-bashing, with Dan Rather standing in for Clinton's cock.

On Press the Meat, Pumpkinhead started out with a quote from the New York Times review dissing President Clinton's book. Russert's guests included Joe Klein, who essentially agreed with the President about Starr's abuses. The lead Clinton-hater was Bob Novak, who either didn't get advance notice of the topic or needs to get behind stem-cell research right now.

This should be fun.

Update: Time magazine explains why the whores are on the defensive:

Indeed, if there was a cover-up, Clinton argued at the movie screening, it was perpetrated by the media, which didn't report the essential flimsiness of the charges and downplayed the exoneration of the Clintons in 1995 by the government agency investigating Whitewater. "The mainstream press was in the tank to Starr until the Starr report came out, and then they turned against him," Clinton said. "For years and years and years he had been crushing these innocent people" like Susan McDougal, who did 18 months in jail for refusing to cooperate with Starr and who was in the audience that night. Clinton told us he had a private meeting with McDougal after the screening "for the first time in 20 years ... It was touching. Both of us started crying."
