Where is the Democrat's William Bennett?

Remember back in the 90's, when Bill Clinton was President?

There were a group of rightwing nutjobs who were putting out the story that "Bill Clinton Killed People in Arkansas!" The details are vague, since I never paid much attention to it. A quick Google search turns up the usual websites with insinuation and outright accusation.

When these nutty charges became more widely distributed, William Bennett, no friend of the Clintons or their administration, stepped up, and said, very publicly, "These accusations are beyond the pale."

Like somebody out of a Samuel Beckett play, I'm waiting (without much hope) for some brave and well-known Democrat to stand up and say "What's being done to Sarah Palin is beyond the pale. The attacks, the slurs, the slanders, the invasion of her privacy, the hacking of her personal emails...this is unacceptable and demeaning to our Party and our Country."

I'll let you know when that Donkey-riding Godot shows up.
