"The Clinton Warrior" by David Greenberg (3022 words)
"Sidney Blumenthal is a creature of the dark." During Clinton's presidency, Blumenthal, previously known as a cerebral political journalist for The New Yorker and The New Republic, came to be demonized for his links to the Clintons--denounced as the devil, as "Sid the Human Ferret," and as "Sid Vicious," a Democratic Chuck Colson.
Blumenthal and his wife sued, and Drudge retracted the report, but the suit dragged on for years, until eventually, in 2001, they dropped it so as to close a chapter in their lives.
Whatever their view of Blumenthal or the president he served, inside-the-Beltway skeptics should remember that for the most part, when it came to the motives and goals of the conservative movement, the Tim Russerts, Susan Schmidts, and so many other "neutral" reporters were wrong, and Sidney Blumenthal was right.
