Will Gary Condit Be Cleared?

Maybe justice will finally be served. Will the media give him an apology? Will Connie Chung? Will Mickey? Or will he thrash it all out again as entertainingly as in those distant bloggy years before 9/11? Money quote from July 2001:

The CW (conventional wisdom) holds that Condit’s already been damaged badly by his behavior in the Levy case. But the very seriousness of what’s been insinuated in the press–that he had something to do with Chandra Levy’s disappearance–suggests that if he turns out to be a Richard Jewell, the wave of public sympathy and media self-flagellation will be so great he might come out of it as popular as ever. And with national name recognition!

Two, four, six, eight … time to go self-flagellate! Bonus Kausfiles item here.
