(15,512 posts)The first one doesn't even try. Its point of view is that Biden gambled on a long shot and lost, i.e. that he stuck his neck out by pursuing Hill's allegations and it didn't pan out, and Thomas was confirmed anyway. But the conclusion which I quoted is one I agree with: it didn't foil the Thomas nomination, true, but it did have positive effects.
The second article from last Thanksgiving basically reports on the MSM storm kicked up by Biden's book. How dare he speak up after they silenced him forever with an evil gotcha dreamed up by the master, Bush I? Well he did speak up and he explained what happened to Hill and apologized for the trouble she was put through. That's not enough for some but I have yet to see any concrete evidence that Biden did anything requiring an apology.
