Why the press isn't investigating allegations of Bill Clinton's sexual acts toward women

[320 Years of History]

There's a very simple reason why the press is not making much of the allegations about Bill Clinton having sexually assaulted women. The reason is that the questions pertaining to it were asked and answered in 1998 and 1999.

• Asked and answered with the full weight and authority of the Independent Counsel reporting to the U.S. Attorney General and the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. (1998)
• Asked and answered with the full weight and authority of the U.S. Senate (1999)

Quite simply after spending nearly $100M to investigate, impeach and try Bill Clinton, there's nothing new to say. If one wants to know all about it, read the document! It's all in there and it's not news. That it is not new is why the press is not rehashing it. For the poorly-/uneducated among you here, I'll make it real simple: news organizations report on information and relay it when it is new, when it is current.

Because we all know who owns "independent" Media and which candidate is supposed to look good and which one has to be painted with all black.

I guess voting republican means electing folks either too weak or corrupt to get-r-done then.

Red:
What you should have guessed is that in light of the current allegations and revelations about Donald Trump, that turn of phrase was the wrong one to use. It's not that the general meaning of the saying is problematic for it's not. It's origins and connotations are the problem.

Not only does that phrase harken to a glib performance of coitus, but also, by dint of the mocking nature in which "Larry the Cable Guy" used it in his comedy, along with its use in Carrie, is tantamount to one's confirming one's own idiocy. Indeed, one of the most humorous things about the "Cable Guy" routine in which it's used is that the objects of the comedian's derision -- backwoods dolts -- take humor in Mr. Whitney's delivery and don't actually realize they are being mocked.

• Deep meaning or just demeaning

And, no, of course Mr. Whitney is not going to openly admit to mocking the millions of folks who've made him a millionaire. Fortunately for him, most of those people don't read enough to know what's going on. They don't see that he's modeled himself after Lewis Carroll and other satirists.

Speaking of Lewis Carroll, looking at the current Presidential election, I am reminded of a passage from the "Mock Turtle" chapter of Alice in Wonderland:

The other guests had taken advantage of the Queen's absence, and were resting in the shade: however, the moment they saw her, they hurried back to the game, the Queen merely remarking that a moment's delay would cost them their lives.

All the time they were playing the Queen never left off quarrelling with the other players, and shouting 'Off with his head!' or 'Off with her head!' Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers, who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that by the end of half an hour or so there were no arches left, and all the players, except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were in custody and under sentence of execution.
