Franken-Lies-And-the-Lying-Liars-Who-Tell

shed light on some of the clandestine dirty tricks used by what was, if not a vast rightwing
conspiracy, at least a very, very large one, there were enough lies and baseless innuendos
right out in the open to fill a book the size of Sidney Blumenthal's 802-page classic, The Clinton
Wars.
For example, did you know that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian? And that, despite her
homosexuality, she was having an affair with Vince Foster? Who then had to be murdered to
cover up Whitewater? And did you know that Foster's execution was only one small part of a
killing spree that claimed nearly forty lives, including those of former Commerce Secretary
Ron Brown and the wife of an Arkansas state trooper who apparently didn't "get the message"?
And did you know that Clinton, to finance his own gargantuan cocaine habit, had
struck a deal with the CIA and the Contras to smuggle duffel bags filled with coke into Arkansas?
If you didn't, you weren't reading the Wall Street Journal editorial page, the American
Spectator, or the Washington Times.
Typically, the Spectator would break the story, "forcing" the Journal, the Times, and
the New York Post to comment on what was now a legitimate news item that was being ignored
by the liberal-dominated media.
The Journal ran sixty-four editorials discussing Foster's death, systematically sowing
sinister seeds of suspicion on his so-called "suicide." (I'm putting the right on notice that they
don't own al literation.) This continued even after two successive independent counsels (one
of them, Kenneth Starr, a man not generally considered to be in the Clintons' pocket) concluded
that Foster's death was, in fact, a suicide.
When readers threatened to tire of seemingly endless Agatha Christie-style discussions
of the Foster case, the Journal ran a lurid account of the elimination of two Arkansas teens
using that efficient murder weapon favored by Snidely Whiplash: a train. The journal marshaled
these facts: Two teenagers were killed by a train. The train was traveling through Arkansas.
Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. Ergo, Bill Clinton murdered the boys with the
train. 1 The Journal ran a series of pieces on the boys' deaths, and featured the story in their
February 12, 1998, editorial "Obstruction and Abuse: A Pattern."

To offer the Journal a courtesy that I'm sure they wouldn't reciprocate, I should explain that their editorial
actually suggested that the boys were knifed to death and then put on the train tracks as an elaborate cover-up
orchestrated by Clinton and his personal goon squad, the Arkansas state police.
