Remember Dan Rather, who insisted the letters showing President Bush lied about his military service were \u201cfake but accurate?\u201d<\/p>\n
Remember the Cindy Sheehan, the Code Pink lady who protested at President Bush\u2019s ranch because her son died in the war in Iraq?<\/p>\n

They were hot topics, media sensations, invited on all the news shows.\u00a0 Their every utterance was treated as having absolute moral authority and cited by Democrat politicians as proof of the urgency to enact Liberal policies.\u00a0 But none of those people are in the news anymore.\u00a0 It\u2019s as if they never existed.\u00a0 They were used as props and discarded the moment they were no longer useful.<\/p>\n
And now we have Christine Blasey Ford, who accuses Judge Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were teenagers.\u00a0 That\u2019s enough to temporarily resurrect Anita Hill, the woman who accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearings.\u00a0 She won\u2019t be in the limelight long.\u00a0 She\u2019s old news, too.<\/p>\n
