I heard it on MSNBC last night. There was also detailing of the scandals being looked into by Starr in the Wall Street Journal. That is why they have been saying that Monica Lewinsky portion is only 4% of the report. I have mixed feelings about Clinton getting "nailed". I have no sympathy for him and the zealots that comprise his entourage. But I feel sad for the political process that is so messed up with special interests of which he is prime example. Clinton and the ultra-left would turn this country into a welfare state on the magnitude of France. Last night's news report from France on the International Channel was indicative of what such a horrible society would become. They were actually ecstatic of a strong economy with a 11.8% unemployment rate. The unemployment rate had dropped 0.5% in one year, and now businesses were having difficulty finding workers to fill jobs. That goes to show how screwed up a welfare state can become when 1 out of 8 people is unemployed and they don't want jobs. In France, they have paid health care, paid child care, average of 7 weeks paid holiday, paid everything including 2 weeks at government -run resorts. They've also now shortened the work week to 35 hours per week in order to try to reduce unemployment. This won't work because it's the overhead that's killing jobs, not the base pay rate. The idiot socialists think that cutting off the supply of willing workers (those employed) will force companies to pay higher wages and hire unwilling workers.
