Arkansans are just like regular Americans - imagine that. The Wall Street Journal cannot. The pundits know that it was Starr who had the heavy PR guns, because the pundits provided them. The special prosecutor slipped inside information to his friends in Big Media and they gaily blasted away at Clinton, finding time between rounds to praise Starr for his honesty, his openness - just a simple, barefoot, Washington lawyer, to paraphrase Harold Ickes. While Starr had the newspapers, magazines, wire services and television networks singing his song, Clinton had a hapless former reporter named Sidney Blumenthal, whose efforts to get Clinton's version into print and on the air produced only mass denunciations of Blumenthal and his boss.
Some people are famous for being famous.
This guy was despised for being despised. Cross hairs, indeed. Incoming marshmallows were the worst Kenneth Starr had to fear.
