Emmett Tyrell linked to in an Op-ed in the Washington Times yesterday - characters out of Blinded by the Right by David Brock. According to Brock, Tyrell is a drunk who defers to Scaife’s wishes and Ted Olsen was about as rabidly anti-Clinton as one could be and still function in the real world. They’re still major players. Tell me again why they hated Clinton? Because he interrupted their run at total control? Tools.</p> Ted Olsen mentioned today and M.
