Dave,
I agree. Slick has depended on her, and other
women, to save his biscuits when he gets into
trouble. There's a cost for that. We get to
pay it.
Here's some breakfast reading...

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Inside the Beltway
Political tidbits and other shenanigans
from around the nation's capital
By John McCaslin
--------------------------------------
One not polled
"What a transparent, pathetic, syrupy wallowfest in political
pabulum we have just witnessed," writes Allen Kelly, an
electronics engineer from Troy, Ohio, referring to President
Clinton's State of the Union Address.
"I can never recall, in my entire 41 years, any person, child,
teacher, employer, subordinate, boss, salesman, huckster, fortune
teller, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, thief, sociopath,
psychopath, infomercial or sweepstakes entry with so little
integrity that has ever promised and at the same time decreed so
much to so many ...
"God help us all for having to be a national 'halfway-house'
for a president who is delusional, dishonest, arrogant and thinks
us all his fools and for the number of people in it who likely are."
