Bush is on the Hot Seat for Letting 9/11 Happen, So It's Time to Blame Clinton Again

A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by Dag E. Bergrud

Former Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writer Richard Miniter, has a book out blaming Bill Clinton for 9/11 [LINK].

It is being published by Regnery, a right wing publishing firm that backs many of the anti-Clinton hack jobs. It is being excerpted by The Washington Times, with a column on it released Sunday by Robert Novak [LINK].

Matt Drudge is pumping the book. It was ranked #52,682 at Amazon, when he started last night. It is now #4. Sound familiar?

Rush, Sean, Bill O'lie-ly, and Ann will be hawking this. Expect an interview on Hannity & Colmes, Expect columns in Newsmax, WorldNetDaily, and the NY Post, a segment on FOX & Friends. Expect this echo chamber to get so loud that ABC, CNN, NY Times, and the Washington Post feel the need to cover this book.

This despite the fact that good old satirist Al Franken detailed quite nicely how the Bushites were asleep at the wheel, and they ignored Clinton advisers warning them about Osama.

This is actually the very first textbook case of the echo chamber effect since Franken's book was published.

I think somebody who can draw this synergy out well, as it is happening, might have the ability to at least get to the mainstream media before they fall victim to the Right Wing's media tricks once again.
