We confess. It's all true. Everything you say. We trafficked in hate. We did it in anger. Just as you said, Mr. Kristol, Mr. Krauthammer, Mr. Brooks: . We attacked a sitting president, impugned his integrity, smeared his family, invaded his privacy, tried desperately to drag him down to our level. There is no parallel between your measured criticism of Clinton and our attacks on Bush. Clinton deserved everything thrown at him because a corrupt and evil man who gains the White House by underhanded means should be attacked with every weapon at the disposal of a free press. And yes, it's true, just as your radio hosts have maintained: Hillary does owe her success to the practice of witchcraft. And no, it's not true that ridiculing Chelsea was the media equivalent of child molestation. Chelsea was fair game because she is the spawn of Satan. Scurrilous of us to suggest that the tirelessly moderate and civil proponent of these and so many other truths, Robert Bartley, now resides in the circle of hell reserved for hate-mongers and bigots! Mr. Bartley dwells in the bosom of his Republican creator. We see that now.
