It is amazing what you'll find if you drag a million dollar check through suburbia. Early retirement anyone? Jim

It is uncanny how a reinterpration of events can be suggested which radically alters the view of what took place even when the facts did not change at all... If any of these women had made even a simple critical comment at the time I would be much more willing to accept current accounts of what took place. Yes, if it's as many of them now claim, why didn't they run away screaming? Paula Jones, you know, contends that the Incident so profoundly shocked her she has since been disgusted and horrified by the Sex Act. Of course, Danny Ferguson, the trooper who drove her to Bill's hotel, claims she was in the room for about twenty minutes, and after she returned, said: "Does the governor have a girlfriend? I'll be his girlfriend". Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that Ferguson (a co-defendant in the case) is telling the truth. What does this suggest? To me it suggests that there may have been a little preliminary hanky-panky, and that Jones had high hopes of a continuation thereof. But Clinton never called again.... Nothing like the wrath of a woman scorned. In a general sense, it is not always easy to guess correctly about the intentions and desires of others. If you make a few minor adjustments to Willey's story, what supposedly happened is what happens on many dates. If the guy's guessed correctly, the couple proceeds to more interesting activities. If not, they don't see each other again. Big deal. Go check out the Willey/Clinton correspondence as reproduced (in facsimile) at the All Politics site. For ages before their fateful meeting she'd been sending him presents. A tie, a book, a photo... Notes and letters... If he thought she had a letch for him, would this be so surprising? Or do most women give frequent gifts to employers they hardly ever see? I know I never have...
