Well with Sophia Loren backing him, now I am jealous.

I remember going to the movies, incredibly enough with my mother's permission, to see "Boy on a Dolphin". God how I was in love, well infatuated any way. I am unsure whether my mother knew what the movie was about. Actually I am to this day unsure what the movie was about as well. But how it did awaken adolescent feelings of attraction for the opposite sex in one eleven year old boy. Even today I have great fondness for her. If she says Bill's ok, well by crackie that's good enough for me.

We are on the eve of Congress embarking on a political process over substantially personal moral issues. If ever there were an opportunity for national hand wringing, this is it. I think the celebrity thing is an interesting distraction at best. Unfortunately we are going to be presented with a spectacle of small mindedness as these moral hypocrites attempt to whip up this witch hunt into high treason.

I think that despite all of this talk against Clinton that he has not behaved so boorishly as say a Bob Packwood. The Newsweek account shows him not nearly so harshly. At least it can be said that he accepted no for an answer. Surely he has been no Jimmy Carter either. He is a flawed being, as are we all. But Benedict Arnold he is not.

I think the Republicans are missing a wonderful opportunity with their over moralizing. They are missing the chance to really be the party of Lincoln. It seems that they are blinded by the pursuit of a puritan moral agenda, and they are leaving on the table the currency of reconciliation. I think they have no courage for this task. They would rather be the party of right wing morals than the party of national reconciliation. Lincoln be damned. I think convincing the majority that they are suited for leadership is becoming more difficult as they pander to their polarizing process.

So other than that, how the heck are you?
