<<But I'd settle for some sum similar to Newt's. Maybe twice as much.>>

Whoa! Newt paid the cost of his investigation, which was $300,000! Starr has spent 4.3 million dollars since Clinton's "I never had sex with that woman" speech! You want me to pay for him lying to me for 7 months? No way, Jose!!!

<<It is not at all clear to me why, if we have set up the independent counsel as almost a fifth branch of government (after the press), that that branch should have nearly unlimited funding. And yet the President not have his defense costs funded through the public purse as well.>>

First of all, the "fifth branch of government" was the Democrats doing, not the Republicans. Democrats wrote the law, signed it into law and authorized the investigation of Clinton!!!

The Republicans had over 60 Independent Counsel investigations used against them. THEY PAID THEIR OWN LEGAL BILLS!!! Now that it's Clinton, the rules should be changed? Where was the outrage when it was happening to the Republicans?
