The fact that he chose old fashioned euphemisms doesn't bother me, since the guy is in his 70's. It seems to me that you're trying to split the hairs on the back of a flea. Be that as it may, what really bothers me is the self-righteousness of the GOP on this. I don't know if any of you had the pleasure of watching two incredible pigs, JD Hayworth and Dana Rohrbacher on CSPAN have a colloquy on the floor of the House about how dismayed they are about the attacks on ol' granpa Hyde. Hayworth (who is porcine in appearance and in manner) was talking about how UNFAIR it is to dig up this dirt on Hyde and how lacking in principles the WH is. What have Republicans been doing to Clinton for the last six years?!? If Hyde had come out and said, "I am very disappointed that this has been dug up after so many years. Yes, I had an improper adulterous affair when I was 41 years old. And I regret what pain it caused the family of Ms. so-and-so and to my own family. However, I do not think it is relevant to my conduct of this hearing." Period. Instead, Hyde has been indignant, self-righteous, threatening and defiant. For that, he deserves to be dumped. Doughboy.

j_b: I know I promised to stop using sarcasm, but I can't help myself -- Don't you remember when H. Hyde shook his finger at the camera and said, "I never had an affair with that woman. Mrs Snuckeldorf (or whatever her name is)." Then he sent his minions out to tell the world that this accusation was merely Demo propaganda, and that there was absolutely no truth to it. "It's a whoa-ah, Larry, it's a whoa-ah," said his chief standard bearer. Don't you remember when Hyde did that? Clearly, Hyde is no better than Clinton. ji,
