Damning Legacy

The Wet Spot?

This clip from the documentary The Clinton Chronicles is not important in itself anymore.    It represents something much bigger than Bill Clinton's reported near fatal cocaine overdose that, despite collaborating eyewitness testimony about his coke habit, the media refused, still refuses,  to mention.   It's bigger than Barry Obama's citizen eligibility question, where nearly 100% of archival and anecdotal evidence indicates he wasn't eligible to run for president, and occupies that office today against the law.  That the media refuses to mention. That clip, from that film,  is important because it represents, I think, the nascency of  total media disconnect from political truth that made Bill Clinton, and now Barack Obama, possible.  Made anything possible.  Had the nation been afforded an opportunity to watch it on NBC,  people might today be guarded, and inclined to exercise critical thinking about their choices.   Without it, even smart people act stupidly.

I don't personally know a single person who's even heard of the The Clinton Chronicles, let alone seen it.  Lots of people heard about it, but you had to purchase the tape to see it, because - as I sit looking at a promo for FROST-NIXON, the 12,000th film celebrating Nixon's overthrow - the Clinton Chronicles were never shown by any media outlet that I'm aware of.  I suggest that you watch them here, presented in eleven seamless parts.  Watch and judge critically.  Watch and decide.  Tell people.
