Citizens United is David Bossie's baby. In reporting on his activities, the press is somewhat silent about this episode:
-
WASHINGTON -- A top aide to Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., was ousted Wednesday as Republicans tried to contain the political fallout from the release of taped prison phone conversations involving Clinton friend Webster Hubbell.
Burton also took the unusual step of apologizing to his GOP colleagues for the mishandling of the tapes episode, which infuriated Democrats and sparked a sharp rebuke from President Clinton.
Burton said David Bossie, a top staffer on the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, was resigning over his role in releasing an edited version of the tapes, which omitted segments favorable to the White House.
The press is largely silent because they fell for his little edited tapes gambit hook line and sinker. Dilligent little stenographers for the Get Clinton crowd they were.
