It's me, the new reformed Doughboy. Bob, I'm willing to hold my tongue with someone like Dug, but you still are a different matter. Let's settle this once and for all: "Bugger. 1. A Sodomite. 2. A contemptible or disreputable person. 3. A fellow; a chap. v. To practice sodomy with." American Heritage Dictionary. So I was correct in both my definitions of the word. It is clearly not a synonym for "f***," so you are not correct, kind sir.

One thing you should note about Newt's speech is that it was not simply a "let's guage things and wait" speech, it was a "put all your cards on the table, Mr. Starr" speech. That undoubtedly turns the heat up on the IC and puts the onus on the House Committee to not vote this out unless it has the goods on more than just the Lewinsky matter. Quoth Newt: "There's a high value of stability in our system. I don't like the idea of changing who the President is capriciously. It's very hard to pick a President. It's very expensive. It takes an enormous amount of the nation's energy, and once the the nation has made that choice . . . there should be an overswhelming presumption that they serve out their term. The mountain is all on the side of those who say there's a case. It's not just a presumption of innocence. It's a presumption of stability, a presumption of authority, a presumption of the way the nation runs." He he he, has he joined the Clinton defense team?

Doughboy.
