	"The Clinton Warrior" by David Greenberg
		"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.

	Guest Comment on NRO
		I thought you might be wondering what Sidney Blumenthal has in mind by calling you to testify in his libel suit against Matt Drudge, and since Barbara and I have already been through it, our experiences will help you prepare.
		Technically, of course, it won't be Sidney himself, it will be his legal mouthpiece, an attorney from Baltimore named McDaniel (although Sidney and his wife were both present for our depositions, and Sidney passed little scribbles to his lawyer from time to time).
		Sidney poses as a defender of free and open journalism, but his actions show he's just the opposite.

	The Clinton warrior: face it: Sidney Blumenthal was right Washington Monthly - Find Articles
		"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.
		The Clinton Wars, Blumenthal's new memoir, is really several books in one: apologia pro vita sua of a man who was pilloried but long kept silent; an insider's view of the most fascinating administration since Nixon's; a sociology of the contemporary Right; and a usually even-toned but sporadically gleeful settling of accounts with old adversaries.
		Throughout these controversies, Blumenthal not only continued to write admiringly of Clinton, with whom he had developed a professional friendship over the last half-dozen years; he also chided his scandal-mad colleagues--as he had since 1988, when a prowling press forced Gary Hart from the presidential race for marital infidelity--for descending into sexual scandal-mongering.

	FindLaw's Writ - Hodes : A Review of Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars"
		Sidney Blumenthal's The Clinton Wars is a hefty omnibus of a book, an amalgam of different genres: history, memoir, and biography.
		Blumenthal shows how the mainstream media began to parrot false stories in their pages and on television as if they were gospel truth.
		Blumenthal concludes by returning to his thesis that the media and the Right's demonizing of Clinton is not unique, but rather that his experience is typical of that of progressive presidents.

		Blumenthal cast a great deal of culpability on the president, and reported plenty of self-blame from the president as well.

		Clinton needed to affirm that she was the author of It Takes A Village so Blumenthal attests to it, despite the fact that her ghost writer was paid $120,000.
		When Clinton asks Blumenthal to comment on my advice to Clinton to tell the truth, he automatically assumes that Clinton is doing so already and says, innocently, how "wacky" it is to admit to something you didn't do.
		Blumenthal even quotes Hillary quoting Bill that "we just have to win," as his answer on how to handle the Monica mess.

	Lawmakers call for investigation of Blumenthal - February 7, 1999
		In his Senate deposition, Blumenthal said he had "no idea" how negative comments about Lewinsky came to be attributed to a White House source in the media.
		Earlier, in front of Independent Counsel Ken Starr's grand jury, Blumenthal testified that Clinton provided him with derogatory information about Lewinsky, including saying that other people described her a stalker.
		In a statement released Sunday by his lawyer, Blumenthal reiterated that he "was never a source for any story about Monica Lewinsky's personal life." He said that while he doesn't remember the particular conversation to which Hitchens is referring, any conversations with Hitchens were with a friend, not a reporter.
