CBS & Louis Freeh Bails W Out

60 Minutes covered Freeh's new book that does not paint a great picture of his former boss-Clinton.

Why Freeh's book now? Why's it coming out just now? It's a worthy try at distracting us, and it's apparently working, having taken up room on 60 Minutes that could be spent trying to sort through the threads of the biggest scandals to emerge from Capitol Hill since Watergate.
If you missed Mike Wallace's slow-pitch interview of the former FBI director, catch up on this CBS page. Read the accompanying story and you'll see no mention of some of Freeh's own memorable gaffes, like the Hanssen spy case.
Why in the world, when that world is collapsing around George W. Bush amid the Wampumgate scandal, the Iraq debacle, the lost battle of New Orleans, would CBS focus on Freeh's blast against Clinton?

Why? Two reasons:

Oh, but let's talk about Clinton's cum spots on Lewinsky's dress.

That sells. And then of course just maybe they don't want to rock any boats. But CBS (and all other MSM outlets), the boats are sinking - don't worry about rocking them.
