What's the deal with Gary Aldrich?
The righties are complaining because Richard Clarke is getting so much attention while a few years ago Gary Aldrich, a guy with 30 years experience who wrote a tell-all book about the Clinton WH failures, could not get any media attention. They are claiming this as proof of media bias.

What's the story? Does anyone remember?

1. Gee, they're crying because they couldn't slip in another anti-Clinton
story in a media market that was already saturated with anti-Clinton stories? Maybe they should read the Ray Report and ask themselves if they got their money's worth.

2. Everybody knew Aldrich had no credibility and was lying....
...Clarke, on the other hand, is highly credible because he's a rightwing Republican that was first appointed to his position by Reagan. Additionally, the contents of his book can be independently verified and his public statements are based on fact.

4. His book came out when there was already 15 other anti-Clinton books out
The right couldn't keep up their reading.

6. Wit all those Clinton books on the market
the FReepers were all getting lip fatigue from the unaccustomed amount of reading they were doing. It was a mercy to them, really, that they didn't have to read the Aldrich book.
