Everyone Does Rant As has often been noted, the Clintonites snap into Blame Mode whenever their man is caught with his business in the ringer. Through their media minions, the Clintonites serve up a tabloid goulash consisting of Bush's alleged mistress, Nixon's alleged mistress, Eisenhower's alleged mistress, Roosevelt's alleged mistress and on down through the gloopy remains of long-dead secondary sources.
Some tales are probably true.
Some will never be proved. All have the texture and feel of cheesy Hollywood gossip sheets, i.e. the medium is unmistakably Clintonite. But that is not our point. Neither Bush ever did such a thing. Reagan immediately took full responsibility.
