I’ve seen a number of published responses, rebukes, and so forth, to my article in Salon over the weekend about Republicans conflating the Condit drama with impeachment. And I’ve just noticed Andrew Sullivan posted a response too.
You can read it yourself to decide what you think. But this sentence jumped out at me.
“Condit has been accused of no crime whatsoever, and his sex life has been conducted entirely with individuals (so far as we know) who don’t work for him.”
Really? The woman’s name is Joleen McKay. She had an affair with Condit in the mid-1990s when she was a low-level staffer in his Capitol Hill office. She’s discussed this with the FBI and several news organizations. The watch box disposed of in Virginia was a gift from her.
Andrew, maybe it’s a bogus story. But if you’re going to criticize, you’ve at least gotta keep up.
