Jack, It's always good to be able to laugh at ones self, but for some reason parodying liberals is always funnier. Maybe it's their sanctimonicausness...Abused mothers While we're at it, let's blame independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr for El Nino, too. He's been denounced for everything else, including "abusive behavior" in the handling of Monica Lewinsky's mother, Marcia Lewis. We're not sure when Mr. Starr will call Mrs. Lewis to testify before his federal grand jury again. She's still said to be recuperating from the counsel's previous stoning, a courthouse nurse summoned to mop up the tears. Mrs. Lewis might be comforted to know that she isn't the first mother forced to answer difficult questions dealing with a daughter's relationship with Bill Clinton. Albeit with little fanfare, Delmer Lee Corbin, the mother of Paula Corbin Jones, was ordered by President Clinton's attorneys to give a similar deposition under oath, which also lasted several hours. She was summoned several months ago to the Little Rock law firm of Wright, Lindsey and Jennings, where Mr. Clinton's legal team pressed her about everything her daughter might have told her concerning that infamous night in 1991, when Mrs. Jones said she had a close encounter with then-Gov. Clinton in a Little Rock hotel room. The grilling by the attorneys wasn't easy for Mrs. Corbin, either. During one break in her testimony, she hid her face from cameras and declined to answer questions. Come to think of it, Miss Lewinsky is lucky she doesn't have a sister. Mrs. Jones does, her name is Lydia Cathey, and she too was ordered by the president's attorneys to testify under oath.
