Media Matters blasts the Post for glaring double-standards. When no credible charges had been made against Clinton, the Post called for a special counsel. Not so with Bush, even though clearly his administration lied to congress about the purge of US Attorneys.
"Considerably less surprising is that the Post's editorial page once again refuses to hold the Bush administration to the standard it applied to the Clinton administration. In 1994, the Post insisted on a special counsel to investigate the Clintons even in the absence of a single credible charge against them because the Post thought it impossible for a Justice Department to conduct a credible investigation of a president. But today, faced with a burgeoning scandal that involves not only the president and top White House aides but also the Department of Justice itself, the Post still does not demand the appointment of an outside investigator."
