"He leapt from his chair and raised his fist to the sky as the words "oral sex" flashed on the screen."
Fascinating story in yesterday's Guardian newspaper from David Brock, former scandalmonger with George Gilder's arch rightwing mouthpiece "The American Spectator".
Brock has seen the light and published a remarkable confessional about his years as a paid character assassin hounding the Clinton administration with allegations of sexual impropriety, abuse of power, even drug-running.
Much of what he reveals is already in the public domain, but it's no less extraordinary for that. A seriously disturbing insider's account of the Get Clinton conspiracy machine in operation with plenty of anecdotal colour.
To further fuel the conspiracy theory, it's a little strange to note that the piece has evaporated from the main Guardian site. I read it last night on my Palm (through the Guardian's beautifully implemented AvantGo channel), but when I went hunting for it online this morning, it's nowhere to be found.
I emailed the newspaper and was told "This article has been removed from the online database and is therefore only available in print format. Please note that not every article that appears in print is automatically put onto the web for copyright reasons." Hmm... but this piece was published online already, so surely it's not a copyright issue? Curiouser and curiouser...
Thanks be to Google (yet again) for keeping the cached piece, here: "How I almost brought down the president..."
Another recent example of the Guardian in full righteous leftwing indignation mode from earlier this week was John Sutherland's piece on what the Nixon tapes reveal.
Some choice excerpts from the private Oval office conversations of this "slimy, paranoid, foul-mouthed and anti-semitic" president and more juicy fodder for conspiracy fans everywhere.
