When the Spellcensor was first activated, the word "waht" (which has a revered SI heritage, I believe in the headwaters of this very thread) showed up brite red. I don't know when it became Approved. I find it to be a nod to tradition by the Masters. Even more impressive, it shows taht (sic) we are retaining our special, lovable quirks under the GNET protectorate.

From International Herald Tribune coverage of the Starr report:

"A central focus of the report, according to The Washington Post, is whether Mr. Clinton sought to retrieve gifts he had given Ms. Lewinsky, perhaps by sending Mrs. Currie to her apartment, that were subpoenaed by Paula Jones's lawyers.

Another central point is whether Mr. Clinton tried to arrange a job for Ms. Lewinsky to induce her to deny, in an affidavit for Mrs. Jones's lawyers, that she had had a sexual relationship with the president. Mrs. Currie might have had knowledge of such an attempt."

If those "central points" are the best they can come up with, after months of investigation, impeachment would be ridiculous, and would make us the laughingstock of the world. Giving gifts and asking for them back? Arranging a job? Indiscreet, yes, but hardly threatening the fabric of the republic.

If they can't do better than that on the fundraising report, the Republicans are going to face a serious backlash, I'd guess. How many months, how many millions, and all we get is low-grade soap opera? Come ON!
