Whenever there's a Dem sex scandal, out pops Cokie Roberts on the talking heads.
Saw her making one of her moralizing statements this morning. And we'll be treated to her again tomorrow in the roundtable on Stephanopoulos's ABC show.

She seems to be the Washington D.C. media's official spokesperson when it comes to a Democrat's sex scandal. We never heard the end of it from her all during Monica-gate.

You've been warned...

1. I appreciate the headsup.
She's generally repellent on just about any subject, but agree with you that she seems to have a special knack for looking down her nose at Democrats' personal lives.

2. It makes one wonder about
what kind of secrets daddy took to the grave with him in the accident.

7. Word in DC was that her husband was boffing 2 of his interns at same time
This was a little prior to L'Affaire Lewinsky, and Cokie projected all of her vitriol onto Bill Clinton. I had a friend at Columbia University journalism department at the time, and she passed along that info to me as inside the "profession" gossip.

9. That would explain a lot about the nature of her "coverage" at the time.
To me, she sounded like "meow meow meow meow" during the whole Lewinski affair.

I'd be fooling around too.
