That wasn't gibberish - that was my best electrical blather, punning on your use of the word fuse, and ... ah well. some subtlety is wasted.

Executive privilege ought to have a genuine purpose - concealing diplomatic tactics, say, or in cases of military secrecy, or things that (while ethically sound and justifiable) might be castigated by a public which couldn't see the whole story. Something like, oh, the siting of special nuclear reserves.

And I'd say Clinton took full and proper advantage of every privilege of the executive... and then some. It was certainly presidential dealings, anyway.
BTW, where's the rule that consensual adult heterosex disqualifies you from high office? Did anyone tell Newt?
