Remembering the Clintons´ Lies

Kim Strassel of The Wall Street Journal writes a column that is a must-read. In it she explains, or at least gives one explanation for, the media´s willingness to jump on the Clinton-and-the-Bosnian-snipers story. Her view is that somehow this story legitimized the MSM remembering just how sleazy these Arkansas parveneus have always been. Here is a key paragraph:
Suddenly, liberals all over are remembering that they never really liked the Clintons, even as they defended them in the 1990s. Suddenly, they can sidle into a discussion about Mrs. Clinton's ethics, and all on a subject that (bonus!) is relevant to today's race. Suddenly, they can break free of the Clintons, much as New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson did earlier this week, with a look of ecstasy, as he ran toward the daylight and endorsed Mr. Obama.
