What's that, Starr is your cousin?

It is too bad the way the Republicans and the media went after Clinton. Did harm to us all. It's also a shame the way the mainstream media seems to have chosen to hate Bush.

Back when I had a rather nihilistic world view, my Dad would rant about the liberal media and I would counter with the assertion that they are part of the machine that perpetuates lies, prevents substantive change, creates the public agenda, frames our choices, etc... I guess it's all perspective. For someone looking for revolutionary change, I guess the media looks pretty conservative.

It's also a shame to watch vile domestic partisan politics at a time that, in the future, will likely be viewed as a critical juncture in American foreign policy.
