Well well!! Let's make this whole thing even more confusing. Now what motive would a Virginia tv producer have to come forward and lie? Could he be telling the truth? Did anyone pay him off? Does he have any ulterior motive? My head is just really spinning now.

And what is this thing about Willey's purported false pregnancy? How long ago was it supposed to have happened? It sounds suspiciously like a deliberately calculated smear, casting aspersions on her morality, doesn't it? She is in her fifties, so it could not have been really recently.

I am at least happy to have read in the article John posted that there is a 50% disapproval rating on Clinton as a person. I read on Saturday, incidentally, that Starr's willingness to pursue this Executive Privilege claim all the way to the Supreme Court is much riskier than just giving the information he has to the Congress, but may be an indication that the hand he is holding in terms of what he has discovered in terms of perjury, obstruction of justice and the non-sexually based Clinton scandals is fairly strong.

What do you think about all that, Duncan?

"Poveromo" indeed. Interesting name.

A question I've also brought up at Feelies: Ed Willey was an old friend of Al Gore's. The Willeys had no contact with the Clintons until the 1992 campaign; and, it would seem, they had very little contact afterwards, much as Kathy tried to paint herself as a social friend.

So why is it that when she needed a paying job she went to Clinton, rather than to her husband's old buddy? Normally when you need a favor, you'll do best with someone who knows you well.

It'd also be interesting to know how she got her original volunteer job at the White House...
