Vintage whine from a Great Presidential Fellatio Crisis survivor.
Gary Aldrich (remember him...FBI guy turned Clinton stalker) is upset because Time Magazine gave the Man of the Year Award to "whistleblowers" and he thinks he should get an award too, since he blew first. And blow, he does:
My candidate for “Hypocrite of 2002” has to go to Time magazine for suddenly discovering the dangers and benefits that come from whistleblowing. The cover of a recent issue features their “Persons of the Year” – three women who blew the whistle on corporate and government incompetence or wrongdoing.
I don’t want to discourage whistleblowers or those who choose to ride on their coattails; surfacing the truth about corporate and government wrongdoing is usually considered a good thing.
But I find it difficult to understand how we can turn truth “on” and “off” like a switch.
snip
But, when my best-selling book, “Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House” was published, Time had a field day – along with the rest of the national media – destroying my credibility on the say-so of the Clinton White House. My book was 98% about the national security breakdown inside the Clinton White House and 2% about the ill manners of some liberal Democrats. Nevertheless, national media like Time scoffed at the well-documented claims of a senior FBI Agent who had been working in the Clinton White House, full time, for more than two years.
They preferred to believe that somehow I had lost my mind. History unfolded, however, has vindicated me. The lack of “DNA” evidence for Clinton’s reckless womanizing, as described in my book, is hardly ever mentioned these days. What is recalled is that I was a serious whistleblower who tried to surface wrongdoing, abuse, and corruption occurring in the White House right under the nose of the national media.
Back then, Time thought differently about whistleblowing. They went on to ignore or demonize every single whistleblower that bravely stepped forward to describe Clinton’s shameful conduct or Clinton administration corruption. Most of these whistleblowers were women, like RTC investigator Jean Lewis, or Linda Tripp, or Juanita Broaddrick, or Paula Jones, or Kathleen Willey, or Gennifer Flowers. All were attacked and dismissed as bimbos and liars.
Um, yeah. 98% about 'national security...then he goes on to mention Lewis (Whitewater...dismissed), Tripp (sex...ewwww), Jones (sex...ewww, again), Broaddrick (sex...never happened), Willey (sex...looking for a job), and Flowers (sex...again).
That is his collection of "whistleblowers". Lots of blowing...not many whistles to be found.
