Whitewater

Hillary's team crosses the line Hillary's team crosses the line

The Clinton campaign's circulation of right-wing materials to denigrate a top Obama advisor reeks of cynicism.
  • Some free advice for Obama

    The Clintons' personal and financial affairs have already been investigated ad nauseam. He should focus on answering any serious questions raised about his own.
  • The qualms before the storm

    How might Clinton and Obama handle the Oval Office? On the eve of Super Tuesday, what we still don't know could come back to haunt us.
  • Hillary Studies

    Two new books about Clinton add to the canon, but do little to illuminate who she really is as she eyes the White House.
  • Will the real Hillary please stand up?

    Two new bios purport to unmask Hillary Clinton. Yet they offer few new insights and repeat tired clichés about the senator and her husband.
  • Libby's secret defense fund

    How much of the money given to Cheney's former aide will come from Halliburton et al.? The public now has no way to know.
  • Clinton to ABC News: It's payback time

    The former president chastises Peter Jennings for ABC's "sleazy" coverage of Whitewater -- and he's right.
  • You can't teach an old attack dog new tricks

    Partisan hack David Bossie raised political sliming to an art form against Bill Clinton. Now he's out to smear John Kerry and Michael Moore. Why does anyone in the media still take him seriously?
  • Right Hook

    Novak, Norquist and Lowry lead the Clinton-bashing revival; Limbaugh lies about the 9/11 report. Plus: Torture at Abu Ghraib is just fine with Trent Lott.
  • Still smiting Slick Willie

    The New York Times continues its decade of Clinton bashing by trashing his memoirs. And it still won't fess up on Whitewater.
  • The partisan "mastermind" in charge of Bush's intel probe

    Whenever there's a vast right-wing conspiracy, Judge Laurence Silberman keeps turning up.
  • Joe Conason's Journal

    Former Whitewater crank L. Jean Lewis will soon be in charge of preventing Pentagon corruption, and Democrats should be raising hell.
  • Joe Conason's Journal

    When the Wall Street Journal embraces Howard Dean, what does it really mean? Plus: Washington, madness and the Clinton years.
  • Joe Conason's Journal

    Michael Isikoff loses his cool, and pays backhanded tribute to Sid Blumenthal in his review of "The Clinton Wars."
  • The watchdog didn't bark

    Why didn't the media question Bush's shady stock dealings before he became president?
  • Bush rides the Whitewater

    Through the length of Bill Clinton's presidency, the press scrounged for details on the arcane Whitewater controversy. Will it do the same for Harken Energy?
  • Where's the media mea culpa?

    Though the final Whitewater report clearly shows the Clintons were innocent, the New York Times and Washington Post arrogantly refuse to admit they were wrong.
  • The end of the $73 million witch hunt

    Independent counsel Robert Ray's final Whitewater report confirms what was clear from the start -- Bill and Hillary Clinton were innocent.
  • The real Whitewater shocker

    The independent counsel's report concedes there was no Clinton scandal, but details another one -- the role the first Bush administration played.

    18 months after launching its controversial coverage of Wen Ho Lee, the paper issues a carefully crafted -- and curious -- mea culpa.

    By Joe Conason
  • Let the butt covering begin

    Waiting for the nation's major newspapers to admit they were wrong about Whitewater? You'll be waiting a long, long time.
  • How the New York Times helped railroad Wen Ho Lee

    Its reporters relied on slim evidence, quick conclusions and loyalty to sources with an ax to grind. Too bad the paper of record learned nothing from its role in Whitewater.
  • The OIC's dastardly leakers and press corps stenographers

    Democratic leaders decry the timing of news that the Office of Independent Counsel has impaneled a new grand jury to investigate President Clinton.
