NewsMax linked to a story on the Baltimore Sun web site that included the quote. The Wall Street Journal buried it at the end of yet another of its anti-Clinton harangues. Unable to let any positive statement about the Clintons go unchallenged, even one made by a Republican president, it ran an article Feb. 15 quoting John McCaslin, the Washington Times columnist NewsMax credits with breaking the story, as refusing to retract it. Thus, it appears that the Washington Times has joined Judicial Watch and Fox News Channel as NewsMax's sacred cows, about which nothing negative can appear. The ConWeb once again stays on message, and the message is that Clinton is a slimeball.
Message is everything here, and evidence to the contrary be damned.
