Big Dog - Aspen conference:

Clinton said Bush had “sold the stock to buy
the baseball team which got him the governorship which got him the
presidency.”


Clinton kept referring to the media as (contrary to Kinsley’s view) the
“supine” media, pointing out that when Bush insulted Helen Thomas (who,
by asking a rough question in the infamous prewar press conference had,
Clinton said, “committed the sin of journalism”), no “young journalists”
stood up and walked out.


The media, the supine media, was going to have to “go to the meat locker
and take out its brains and critical skills.”
