Hi Who, me?; Don't worry too much about this scandal. It plays into the hands of the Republicans no matter which way things go.

By the way, did you see the latest accusations from Ross Perot? Drug use in the White House! Oh my!

Now that the dam has burst, more rats are going to drop a dime on Clinton. These guys are probably telling stories to Starr even as we speak. People are not as scared of his operatives as they used to be. Fame and book deals are calling. The end will arrive sometime in '99, I expect.

In any case, what will the history books say about Clinton? He hasn't got diddly worth of legislation passed. The Republican congress hasn't helped, but he wasn't able to get stuff through the Democratic congress that he had when he was elected, either. About all he has done is administer over the dismantling of the Democratic party all over this nation.

Anytime you start feeling like the republic is in danger of going under, just remember back to what things were like back in '92 when Clinton was first elected. (pre-Newt) Back then the Demos got most of the campaign contributions, now the Repubs do. Control of congress has switched. Governorships have switched. The Democratic party has been destroyed for the next 10 to 15 years, just like Nixon destroyed the Republican party for 10 or 15 years. (Reagan's election was an exception.)

If the Democrats want to protect their boy based on legalisms, claims of "everybody does it," and minimizations, let them. If they want him as their leader, let them follow him. Gore would be no better politically for this country. And the people will not make the Clinton mistake again in a long, long time.
