‘LIAR, LIAR”

Daily News
New York
August 18, 1998

President Bill Clinton finally admits what many people suspected or knew. Pages two and three contain the huge headline: “CLINTON ADMITS MONICA LIASON.” “In TV confession, says he misled us.” This historic issue is simply filled with page after page of headlines, accounts, commentary and large photographs.

Just the previous January, Clinton had made a short speech looking into a tv camera saying, “I did not have sexual relatios with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”  But, with independent counsel Ken Starr bearing down on him, the President decided to try and save his presidency by “leveling” with the American People.  The account said he stopped short of a full apology, and struck out at Starr for “the politics of personal destruction.” Vice President Al Gore “lauds Prez’ courage, sez it’s time to move on.” Another headline I found fascinating was, “First Lady got the ugly truth this weekend.” It’s pretty well known that Hillary not only knew about Monica, but was micromanaging the damage control, having had to live through numerous previous liaisons dating back to their time in Arkansas.

Complete newspaper in near mint condition. The first one I’ve ever had to offer.
