Well, Carol, I would say that Willie's Willie is a very Wee Willie now!!!

I thought Willey was very credible. As you may know, she and her husband were major Democratic contributors, wealthy people. She is not a bimbo, not a right wing plant, acts intelligent, has a good vocabulary, and seems to be a decent woman. She sat there and looked right at the camera, and I could detect no body language or facial movements or anything else I associate with deception of any sort.

It seemed like a painful experience for her. She did not initially come forward on her own, and testified reluctantly. She said tonight that the reason she decided to go on 60 Minutes is that too many people were being asked to lie, too many people were getting hurt. She gave graphic descriptions of actions that could only be considered sexually aggressive in nature. I am hearing the phrase serial sexual predator being used to describe Clinton in the press the last few days.

She was distraught because of her husband's legal and financial problems when she met with the president, in tears. I did not realize it before tonight, but he had already disappeared that day when she went to the White House to ask for a paid, full-time job. His body was found the next day, a suicide. So she was very, very upset when she went to Clinton. And he was friends with her husband.

It ranks pretty far up there on the scale of slimy behavior, if it is true. And the Democratic fat cat who she accused of trying to silence her, sorry but I blanked out on his name, is under FBI investigation for that. My own sense is that Starr has a case that is stronger than we suspect, and that this interview tonight may be the beginning of the end for Clinton.

I asked my daughter what she thought. She has some clarity, because she is only fourteen and is not really following this, having only a general awareness, and she was emphatic that Willey was telling the truth, and that Bennett, Clinton's attorney who spoke briefly afterwards, was lying. He was looking down and would not even face the cameras. Really a bizarre performance on his part, I thought.
