...Broder -- "getting killed" with negative email over column on Clintons' marriage -- claims to "wish" it were "nobody's else's business"
On a Washington Post Radio program columnist David Broder defended his public speculation on the state of the Clinton marriage. Asked whether his May 25 column "generate more positive email or more negative email," Broder replied, "I'm getting killed." He explained that "the reaction was highly negative" and that readers had told him Sen. Clinton's marriage "is ... nobody else's business." But, while claiming to "wish that were the case," he said it is not. Read more

...dirt he is privy to.

2. Have you seen Chris Matthews regarding....

this article? He asks every Democrat on his show about it, sometimes several times during 1 show. Incredible. Hillary Clinton's marriage is fair game but don't even bother suggesting a Republican's is fair game.

4. I wish one of the dem guests would hold up the Globe rag,

exposing W’s marriage.

I’d pay to see Matthews reaction to that.


These dems need to get creative

3. the story of Clinton's marriage

was all over the MSM yesterday.....they want to destroy them again.
We need to call them what they are new "Ken Starrs"...that is what the MSM has become a tool of the Republicans.It is so shameful.They have gone from bad to worst.
The MSM doesn't get it yet.....we have had enough Swift Boating of decent patriots from a now highly visible vast right wing conspiracy and the MSM is an accomplice.....the Broders of the world have been taking orders to spread propaganda. They are scum...the most unpatriotic Americans I can think of because they shape public opinion with lies and innuendo.

5. Not one word

have I heard on the Bush Laura marriage thing. I think they crucify the Clinton's as a diversion.

6. "Speculation" about private matters is not good journalism, it's GOSSIP

and sensationalism... aka: BS.

7. Why isn't he reporting on the rumors about Chimpie and Laura, then?

I mean, if he's gonna try to pass gossip off as journalism, the least he could do is be even-handed in his tackiness.

8. I sent this email to Broder several days ago. I'm betting my message

was one of the milder ones.

Mr. Broder -

You sir, have jumped the shark (it is a pop culture reference - check with someone under the age of 50 in the newsroom if you aren't familiar with the term). Your latest article on Hillary Clinton is proof beyond any shadow of a doubt that you have stayed too long at the fair.

Despite a long history of taking pot shots at the Clintons on a variety of subjects long after President Clinton has left office, you just can't stop yourself from continuing to wallow in the muck over these two people's marriage. Why can't you and everyone else get it through you thick, partisan, bigoted, mean-spirited, hate-filled brains that it is none of your business. Period.

Since you and The New York Times have decided to join the ranks of tabloid, yellow journalism when can the readers expect the series to continue with articles on George and Laura's little union, or how about Frist, DeLay, Gringrich, Limpbaugh, Bennett - you know all those bastions of virtuous hypocrisy that is rotting Washington today.

This article reeks of a Rovian touch and you are complicit in the writing and publishing of such swill. You, sir, have no shame. It is time to retire.

Sincerely
Dem 4 Ever

And do you think he'll do a story that supposedly Pickles has taken to hanging out at the Mayflower Hotel (per a little comment over at Media Matters in the thread about Broder taking heat). I personally don't give a damn about Chucklenut's and Pickles' marriage but what's good for the goose is good for the gander - come on Broder when can we expect an article on this little piece of dirt?

Hey BRODER, stick your haughty nose in THIS:

CIA-quality intelligence through Wayne Madsen Report (dot COM)

June 1, 2006 -- Rocky shoals for Bush marriage? Informed sources Inside the Beltway report that First Lady Laura Bush has established temporary residence in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC as a result of a tiff with President Bush over an extramarital relationship involving her husband. Mr. Bush's tryst is said to involve Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. It is not known how long Mrs. Bush plans to remain at the Mayflower, however, her security detail has been present at the hotel during hours when the First Lady would normally be residing in the White House. While she was National Security Adviser, Rice, who has never been married, referred to George W. Bush as "my husband" before she corrected herself and said, "the president." Rice was speaking at a dinner when she made her "husband" remarks. WMR is tracking the Laura Bush story.
