2. Unfortunately, lies have a shelf-life

Our Dem leaders were cowed into silence or timid "attacks", followed by mea-culpas for daring to ask.

It's been very apparent that since 1998 (and even before), the media (in general) has NOT been "on our side", even a little bit.

"Scandals" (faux or otherwise) are the lifeblood of media, and when there is not a ferocious pushback (when we are attacked) or a deadly onslaught when we are attacking them, we lose (historically speaking).

The offenses of GWB's administration have been whitewashed by time, and there are plenty of people around who believe the spin they were fed at the time, and no amount of correcting will fix it or change their minds.
