A former White House aide that accused Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting her back in 1993 says she's infuriated by the media firestorm caused by anonymous harassment allegations leveled at Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Speaking with radio's Steve Malzberg Friday, Kathleen Willey said, "Why are we even entertaining, you know, any of this from a person with no name and no face and a spokesperson who isn’t really clear on anything either" (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):

Alan Colmes on Saturday blamed Herman Cain for the media firestorm that occurred after Politico released its now infamous hit piece on the Republican presidential candidate.

As the panel on Fox News Watch discussed a Media Research Center study concerning the coverage of this incident versus how the press handled three sex scandals involving former President Clinton, Colmes actually said, "The reason the numbers are so different is because Herman Cain unlike Bill Clinton was out front on all of the media outlets talking about this" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

"With Herman Cain, let's remember here, Sean, we have nobody on the record, we have no specific allegation of anything that's happened," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell noted on last night's Hannity, contrasting the "avalanche" of Cain coverage with the minimal coverage the networks gave to Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick's allegations of sexual harassment and, in the latter case, rape.

Kathleen Willey, the former White House volunteer who claimed in 1998 that President Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her, has written a letter warning Barack Obama about the former first couple.

Published at World Net Daily Monday, the letter outlined some of the tactics Willey believes the Clintons might use against Obama to thwart his presidential candidacy.

Will media, that have recently been scolding the former president for his odd behavior on the campaign trail, pay any attention to this public warning entitled "Obama: Watch Your Step!":

When Does the Kathleen Willey Book Tour Media Blitz Begin?

In the past six years, any time someone wrote a tell-all book about George W. Bush or a member of his administration, they were given the royal treatment by the press with lavish interviews offering them the perfect platform to market their work as well as their politically charged opinions.

Consider for example all the attention given to Valerie Plame Wilson just recently when her book "Fair Game" was released, or the focus on George Tenet and his "At the Center of the Storm" exposé back in April.

With this in mind, if a former female White House aide published a new book implicating a former president -- whose wife just so happens to be the frontrunner for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2008 -- in rape and other possible crimes, shouldn't she be welcomed with open arms by evening television magazines like "60 Minutes" and morning shows like "Today?"

After all, given Kathleen Willey's shocking statements about her new book "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" to WOR radio's Steve Malzberg Thursday, one would think such programs would be all over this like white on rice, assuming of course their goal was journalism and not political activism (audio in two parts available here and here, highlights of the interview follow):

Former Bill Clinton presidential aide Kathleen Willey is set to release a memoir of her time in the White House and the time since she accused Clinton of making gross sexual advances on her.

In the book, titled "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" and set for release Nov. 6, Willey identifies the mysterious man who threatened her just before she testified against Clinton before the Ken Starr grand jury. Willey alleges the man is tied to Clinton and his wife Hillary.

Back in September, Willey said that thieves attempted to steal her book manuscript from her home right after excerpts from the book were printed in U.S. News and New York's Daily News, according to a Sept. 5 report at WorldNetDaily:

Willey told WND little else was taken from her rural Virginia home as she slept alone upstairs – electronics and jewelry were left behind – and she believes the Clintons were behind it.
