CNN's Phillips: 'Hillary Clinton Went Through a Sex Scandal of Sorts'
This morning on CNN Newsroom, anchor Kyra Phillips examined another aspect of the Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) story. Noting that Weiner's wife is a very close friend of and former aide to Hillary Clinton, Phillips said:
Hillary Clinton went through a sex scandal of sorts and, you know, could she have advised Weiner's wife? I wonder if Weiner's wife called her for advice.
A sex scandal of sorts? Phillips must not recall how Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton's chief of staff, Betsey Wright, labored to squelch what she termed "bimbo eruptions." The Clintons used a private detective to get many women - 19 was the number cited by Wright to journalist Michael Isikoff - to sign affidavits denying a sexual relationship with Clinton. If unable to get a signature, the detective gathered information challenging the women's credibility or mental stability.
Apparently, Kyra Phillips doesn't recollect names like Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Sally Perdue, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Connie Hamzy and Dolly Kyle Browning.
Phillips very possibly used "a sex scandal of sorts" to reference Monica Lewinsky. Liberals prefer to pretend that Bill Clinton was impeached for exploiting the young White House intern. In truth, Clinton was impeached for perjuring himself before a grand jury, tampering with witnesses, and hiding evidence.
Clinton ultimately was fined $90,000 for lying under oath and obstructing justice. He paid $850,000 in the Paula Jones suit, despite repeatedly denying that as governor he'd sexually harassed the low level state employee. Clinton lost his law license in Arkansas, and was prohibited from practicing law before the U.S. Supreme Court. Such penalties aren't typically exacted for a sexual impropriety.
No, Kyra, Hillary Clinton didn't endure a sex scandal of sorts. She went through, and seemingly facilitated, a continual series of sex scandals of all sorts. To say otherwise is to rewrite history.

Talking CNN, I wonder if there's any truth in the rumor that there's a job waiting for Weiner at CNN should he resign from Congress.... it'll be the Spitzer & Weiner Show...
And they already have Viagra lined up as the sponsor.

Jesse Jackson as the Spitzer & Weiner show's Religious Editor? That's great.
John Edward's could be Chief Legal Correspondent.
Add Bill Clinton as their Porn Reporter and this could be the best thing on CNN in years.

The press protected Clinton almost as much as they do Obama. Back when the judge allowed the Paula Jones trial I thought it was a circus and wrong. Back then, I believed the media. Then when the Lewinski thing came out, I realized I'd been duped. Now of course I know the media can't be trusted.
Good recap.
Please do not use the words

This is what happens when people with no grasp of facts repeat lies and distortions to try and make a stain on American Presidencies seem like a rumor that few heard about.
