Did you see Clinton's letter to the editor, purporting to explain the pardons? didn't impress me. As for the cherry tree, and putting metaphysics and symbolism aside<g>, it would go something like this: SS Agent: "Mr. President, Mr. President, someone's chopped down one of the prize cherry trees ringing the rear of the White House property!!" BC(handing the aide crouched below his desk a hatchet to slip into his desk drawer and wiping a few vestiges of cherry juice from his lips) : "We've lost a cherry at the rear of our property? What do you expect me to do about it? Cherry trees are irrelevant to what I do here in Washington." SS Agent: "We thought you might know something about it....Do you?" BC: "It? Oh you mean this alleged cherry tree? The only thing I know about cherries is that they grow on trees, at least in my experience. As for the tree in question,I never heard of that tree, never saw it, never touched it. And I most certainly never had sex with it! Now get out of here and talk to the gardeners or someone who cares about these cherry trees." BC to himself as the SS agent leaves: Hmmm... this might make a good movie. Think I'll call Harry Thomason and pitch the deal to him. Could be a nice retirement bonus.........and Harry really really really owes me.
