70. It reminds me of what happened when the whole Monica Lewinski mess blew up around Bill Clinton.

You couldn't find a Clinton defender ANYWHERE. They all ran out on him. And the only reliable and consistent voice or talking head anybody could ever get, to take on any on-camera or other media defense of him was Lanny Davis. Lanny Davis? WHO? Never heard of him. He was way far down the food chain but by Jove he was out there as THE PUBLIC FACE of the Clinton/Monica scandal when nobody else wanted to step up. DeeDee Myers? Vanished. George Stephanopulous? Bye-bye. Of course THEY went on to big-ass media jobs. Nicely rewarded for turning on their boss and utterly deserting him. Sweet people. So suddenly you have this unknown outta where-the-hell in the lower layers of the Clinton White House who was suddenly all over the airwaves and TV/cable news as THE Clinton Spokesman Of Record. Whenever the subject came up and they needed SOME pro-Clinton person on there to take the "other side" during the non-stop pounding of him, cue Lanny Davis. Everybody else was AWOL. They didn't want to be associated with him. Didn't want to get his cooties all over themselves.

So I think that's what's happening now, on the other side. May be indicative of just how icky this is. NOBODY's stepping up who's of any import. Anybody heard from rinsed penis, for example? kkkarl rove? bill kristol? Hello? Anybody? Nope. Just crickets and some guy pushed out to the front by the chickens behind him, to take the heat and be the face that's now added on here for all to see.
