WTF Is It Now?!?

Editorial from NJ Star-Ledger blasts "independant" council Robert "I'm running for the Senate!" Ray:

If independent counsel Robert Ray really had the goods on criminal activity by former President Bill Clinton but decided not to bring charges, he himself might have been liable to an accusation of misfeasance in office.

Ray, of course, has nothing to worry about because this claim, made in a final report by the Clinton prosecution team, is beyond belief. There is every reason to suspect that Ray didn't bring charges because he had nothing that would convince a jury of Clinton's supposed guilt, just as Ray's predecessor and mentor, Kenneth Starr, was unable to come up with anything to bring a guilty verdict against Clinton in the Senate.

The timing of the Ray report, released by a panel of judges who have been more than friendly to Starr and his successor, also is worth noting. It comes just a few weeks before the New Jersey filing deadline for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate, a prize in which Ray has expressed interest.

If Ray wants to run for Senate on the platform that he was tough on Clinton, he must expect some skepticism. The relationship between the Starr-Ray combine and Clinton was much the same as the relationship between Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny. These big-spending prosecutors never came close to getting that cwazy wabbit.
