David Brock, the reporter who broke the story in the conservative magazine The American Spectator, is about as unbiased as Harvey Mansfield is liberal. And the women who were purportedly Clinton's mistresses at the Arkansas governor's mansion before he left for Washington are themselves denying the allegations. The media establishment went ahead and printed the troopers' stories even though they are even flimsier than the charges Clinton faced from the likes of Gennifer Flowers during the '92 campaign...
