But yesterday -- in a cruel twist of, well, could it have been sanity? --
Ginsburg was terminated with extreme prejudice from his life in the
limelight and banished to the netherworld whence he came -- a dark land
of bungled nose jobs and botched hysterectomies. In other words,
Lewinsky sent him packing. It will be, for some, an irrecoverable loss.
"I'm the most famous person in the world," Ginsburg declared not so long
ago, when Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw were eagerly assessing the
impact of his every pronouncement.
It didn't matter if he was sharing a reverie about his client's anatomy with
Time magazine -- "I kissed that girl's inner thighs when she was six days
old. I said, 'Look at those little pulkies,' " -- or explaining to The
Washington Post why he arranged for her to pose for sexy fashion photos:
"You have to realize that a 24-year-old girl who's imprisoned, her ego, her
libido, her mind imprisoned by [independent counsel] Ken Starr and the
press . . . begins to feel that her self-worth is diminishing. So she's starting
to get depressed. So the avuncular friend, the surrogate father, has to
figure out ways to get her back to par. One of the ways is to express her
beauty."

The decision to replace Ginsburg drew near-universal praise in the
Washington legal community, where the mercurial Californian was viewed
as a publicity-hungry amateur. "That's one of the smartest moves they
could make," said Kenneth Robinson, a prominent defense attorney. "I
think Mr. Ginsburg was out of his league. . . . She's in a horrible spot
because of Ginsburg."...
..."I'm going to stand on the tallest rock that I can find and warn America
that . . . Mr. Starr . . . is a menace, a danger, a nonconstitutional monster,"
Ginsburg said, calling himself a Republican. "He must be dealt with by the
Congress and the American people."
