$60 million bucks if it makes you feel better it's still Clinton's fault no matter what the media tells you.

<<<60 million bucks and all we have is a BJob....>>> No we also have 9 people in prison and 14 indictments. None on clinton yet but wait until we see the report. I don't know if he will be around in a year.

60 mill? Where did you get this figure from? ANd if it is correct, if we divide 60mil by 250 million people in the US and then divide by 5 ( the number of years of this investigation of FIske and STArr) we have that each person chipped in 5 cents a year for this investigation. Well spent if I might add.

Why do you continue to harp on the money? This investigation has covered a number of years, primarily due to stall tactics from Clinton. For example, had he come clean (sorry about the pun) 7 months ago, it would have taken 7 months less, and less money. Had he not forced issues all the way to the Supreme Court (executive privilege for Secret Service, lawyer/client privileges, even though the Supreme Court had already ruled against him in the past, subpoenaed documents that couldn't be found for months, until they miraculously appeared in the residential area of the White House, etc.), there would have been far less time, energy and money spent, not to mention, less damage to the country. The blame is Clinton's, not Starr's. Also, notice that there have been more indictments and convictions resulting from this independent counsel than from any other in the past. It has been very productive, and rushing the report would be a mistake. The issue is so serious, and has such dire consequences, that you should be demanding that Starr take his time, do it right, and consider the ramifications before issuing a report. No O.J.-type bungling by the investigators here.
