The Left has been wondering why they lost the election. I think there are many reasons why they lost, but one reason that hasn't gotten much pub is the spectacle of their self discrediting mendacity. Lefty pundits lay all the corporate scandals at Bush's feet. The Left's public position is that the yucky corporate malfeasance began on 20 January 2001 and that the Clinton boom years were pure years-- a time of good corporate governance thanks to Bill's oversight.
Newsweek's Charles Gasparino's new book "Blood on the Street" demythologizes Clinton's go-go economy. And Arthur Leavitt, Clinton's SEC Chairman and Carlyle biggie, is no good guy in Gasparino's book. Leavitt is another guy who's lucky to be a Democrat.
