     [My reply to Min Zhao's post assumes the rumor is true -- even
     though *I* do not really believe it.  To remind you of this,
     I will put the 'smiley face' after each of my responses.  CDP]
  
>    Good for Clinton !   

     You macho, male chauvinist pig!  Maybe you should vote for
Wilt Chamberlain for President -- the ex-basketball star who
claims to have slept with 10,000 women.   :-)

     Do you love your kids so much that you would abandon them?  You
wouldn't pay child support?  You wouldn't even visit?  :-)
     Some of the women on the Net might consider "mysteriously coming
out and claiming" that they have Min Zhao's son if "nothing
else would make you happier."  Any volunteers???   :-)

     Do most men sleep with a prostitute -- while they are married??
Once again, remember that Clinton denies this kid is his.  :-)

     Bush never claimed Clinton slept with other women -- Bob Grant did!!
How do you know Clinton can manage the economy?  He has never had a
private sector job.  :-)

     I think both of these unsubstantiated rumors are now entering 
the gray-area of perceived pseudo-fact...it's just a matter of 
time before they are gospel in alt.politics.*.  :-)
