STARR QUALITY – AT 2:50 P.M. ET:   Every now and then, someone comes forward to remind us of some of the less-than-adequate characters who have dominated Washington and even won our support.  From the Washington Examiner: 

Ken Starr, the Whitewater and Lewinsky affairs prosecutor whose probe led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, is breaking his 19 years of silence to finally dish on the former first family and their “legacy of contempt.”

In his explosive account of the five-year saga into multiple White House scandals, titled "Contempt, A memoir of the Clinton Investigation," Starr portrays Clinton as a “deeply flawed president who believed he was above the law.” But, he added, Clinton was lucky and escaped removal from office because of an “indulgent” public.

Hillary Clinton takes it harder, as Starr described the former first lady and 2016 presidential runner-up as a serial liar who was a “systematic enabler” of her husband’s years of extramarital affairs and cover ups to hide them.

And, he added, Hillary Clinton made up the charge that her husband was being attacked by a right wing conspiracy “to avert the nation’s gaze from her husband’s many crimes.”

As for Monica Lewinsky, he wrote, she was the sad face of the parade of Clinton victims. “She carries with her forever the living reality of the Clintons’ victim-strewn path to power, the most visible casualty of the Clintons' contempt,” wrote Starr.

COMMENT:  Question:  How many "news" programs in Washington will book Ken Starr as a guest?  I'm sure Fox will.  What about the others?  Will they ignore him, or will they book him just to ambush him? 

Read the whole piece.  Very substantive.  The Clinton machine is no doubt already in gear trying to shred the book.
