add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the U.S. President Bill Clinton. The toxic spill effect of Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick's decision to reverse her sworn testimony and insist to reporters that, in fact, Clinton did rape her more than twenty years ago. NBC News worked the story for months but held it until February 24, 1999 as it sought to investigate Broaddrick's story. The story ultimately broke on February 19, when the editorial page of the Wall Sweet Journal joined its erstwhile political and journalistic comrade Matt Drudge. Deploying tear-jerking prose, right-wing ideologue Dorothy Rabinowitz accepted Broaddrick's claims at face value.
