absolutely no qualms about reporting out and out lies about the
Clinton administration, even though it was plainly obvious how much
they were lies. Vince Foster's tragic death is an excellent example of
that. His stance on global warming is another.
Is there a conservative commentator that uses straight journalistic
practices and does not resort to lies to support his rants? I think
the next one who does that will be the first.
