Linda Tripp: Real American Hero?

Yes, I think Pat Buchanon is a bit of an extreme Right Winger, but on this issue, he has a point.

Here's an excerpt:

"The only reason Mark Felt is a hero now [is because he helped] destroy was Richard Milhous Nixon," Buchanan told WABC Radio's John Gambling.

But when it came to President Clinton, he noted, reporters suddenly developed a distaste for whistleblowers.

"I mean, did they make Linda Tripp a hero?" the former Nixon speechwriter asked plaintively. "At least she was public about it."

So, if blowing the whistle on a sitting US President is the standard, why isn't Ms. Tripp among the Great American Pantheon?????
