"You should at least let us have Monica Lewinsky here live," one House prosecutor pleaded before the court. But the senators sat silent in their seats, preparing a firm bipartisan rebuff -- a cross-aisle shudder of sorts -- at the very invitation that they personally eye "the demeanor, the temperament, the spontaneity" of the former White House intern with whom the President misbehaved.

I think he was right, you know? Lewinsky seems to be doing ok for herself, which is good to see. Whatever her faults, I think she deserved better than "friend" Linda Tripp. As for "lover" Clinton, well, that was her choice too, and she seems to have been the initiator in that consensual affair, by her own account. Wait till old Barbara Walters gets her, I'm sure that'll make Starr and Tripp look better.
As Dandy Don Meredith used to sing late in the 4th quarter, the party's over. Sadly, the Starr Inquisition will go on, regardless.
