Are you insinuating that Bill Jeff watched American Gladiators because
it showed scantily clad women? But Janada, what about his feminist side?
You know, the side that the NOW gang just LOVES?
You're not suggesting, gasp, that he's a hypocrite? Nah. You wouldn't.
You have too much class for that. Since I lack the class, I'LL say it.
He's a hypocrite. His picture is next to the word and its definition in
the dictionary.
Don't recall seeing that particular line.
He certainly wouldn't pass up looking at an attractive woman now, would
he? Perhaps the proper word should be drool and not "looking at". Bet he
watches Baywatch too.

Although it would be poetic justice, somehow I don't think in the real

The talking heads have now broached what I've said for a few months now.
Name Clinton as an undicted coconspirator. Gee, what a novel idea. They
are figuring Starr may indict "Poor Monica" and have the whole matter
aired in a court of law rather than in the court of public opinion. The
smart money is figuring "Poor Monica" will call Billy Jeff as a witness
giving Starr and his minions a shot at El Presidente on the witness
stand.
They say timing is everything. Strategically and tactically, it would be
more beneficial to indict/impeach BOTH Billy Jeff and the Owl Gore at
the same time. That would put Newt up at bat. A thought that I'm sure,
has LIbEralS foaming at the mouth and losing sleep over.
Don't think that will happen. See above.

    of trouble to express her depth of feeling and the moral
    guidelines she used to arrive at her opinion.  Shoshona has
    has a great deal of personal integrity and that integrity is

I recall there was some disagreement as to whether the
impeachment movement was constitutional, but that's nothing new;
lawyers, judges and lawmakers can read all sorts of power into
and out of any document including the Constitution. I don't
specifically recall the constitutional basis the impeachment
proponents cited, but it certainly would not have gotten very
far if there had been some constitutional grounds.  So I suppose
that leaves Algore vulnerable, which is what I was hoping.
That's the idea.  Clinton either nominates someone who can
pass review with the Senate, or he has no VP.  If he has no
VP in place, and he is impeached or resigns (or Hillary hits
him with something much more deadly than an ashtray)....
