Back when the press was investigating Bill Clinton, conservatives were eager to believe every negative report about the incumbent. Some even pushed totally false claims, including the loony allegation that Clinton aide Vince Foster was somehow murdered by Clinton's apparatchiks when, in fact, Foster committed suicide. Every journalist who went after Clinton was "courageous." Anyone who opposed his impeachment or questioned even false allegations was "an apologist."

We now know that the conservatives' admiration for a crusading and investigative press carried an expiration date of Jan. 20, 2001.

I had the great fortune to be nominated to call our boss (who is out of town) to ask if we could cut out of here a couple of hours early. I didn't mind. When I called, he was on the golf course, so he had to whisper. We'll all be out of here in fifteen minutes.

Yay for early (extended) weekends. :)
