Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) says Vanity Fair magazine has been poking around his private life and plans to run a "scandal story" about him as part of an effort by Clinton supporters to scare him off his investigation of campaign finances. The Republican lawmaker claimed Monday that a Vanity Fair reporter has spent seven weeks in Indiana talking to more than 200 friends and associates. "They've talked to women I've known in my life, they've talked to friends and relatives, kids I went to grade school with," Burton said at a town hall meeting in Frankfort, Ind. But Beth Kseniak, a spokesperson for Vanity Fair said, "It's totally ludicrous that the White House would orchestrate any story in Vanity Fair." The Indianapolis Star and several other news organizations have also been investigating reports that Burton has had relationships with women outside his marriage, The Star reported ..I can't believe it! :o)

Republicans have gone along fearing the power of the elderly voting bloc --- for whom 45% of the federal budget is spent. I would register as a republican if someone would stand up to the elderly. What I dont like about people that bash the Clinton health care package (and I didnt like it either btw), is that they dont have any solution to the current situation, which is that I pay for elderly health care and get nothing myself. BTW related to this topic, there is a theme in Washington to constantly dwell on income as a way to differentiate certain classes of people. I think everyone can agree that income is a useless barometer of wealth, particularly when evaluating the elderly. I wish the politicians would get off that one. MH
