Thank you for the backhanded compliment. Returning the favor, of all the Clinton threads on SI, I think this is the most substantive. I think the anti-Clinton camp has to get back to reality though. Clinton will not resign and there is no way to get a 2/3rds vote of the Senate to impeach. The Republicans like the hideous Delay are trying to move to cut off any other avenue out of this showdown, such as censure. Why destroy the one viable exit strategy? Are Republicans really ready to go to battle with the President? The public does not want it (CBS NYTimes poll says 58% don't believe there should be an impeachment hearing.) It is apparent that the President has already hit bottom on this scandal and he's only going to get stronger over the next 6 months. The Republicans may score some strong midterm election results, but not enough to make the impeachment a foregone conclusion. IMO, this reminds me of the govt shutdown-budget showdown. Republicans were SURE that they were right in saying that the President was to blame for the govt shutdown -- and they were -- but Clinton somehow came out of that crisis smelling like a rose. I always waited for the backlash to hit Clinton, but it never did. On the other hand, it floored Newt Gingrich, and he is basically a shell of the man that he was when he first took the Speakers' seat. There WILL be a bloodbath this Spring--but the blood running in the streets with be true-blue Republican. Doughboy.

Every once in a while, Michelle will say something that's not stupid, but that is a relatively rare thing. Hmmm interesting. You know, you are so insignificant I dont think I can ever remember anything youve said.

Every once in a while, Michelle will say something that's not stupid, but that is a relatively rare thing. Correction: every once in a while, Michelle will say something that YOU don't THINK is stupid, but that is a relatively rare thing. It speaks volumes of you. Although MH and I seldom agree, she seldom if ever says anything as stupid as what you said. In fact, the only really stupid thing I recall her saying was that she wouldn't agree to meet me on New Year's Eve 1999-2000 on that deserted beach on the Bahamas for a passionate lovefest to welcome in the new millennium. Aside from that rejection, which I will admit was really stupid, even though she's wrong most of the time, she's wrong in a very intelligent way.
