I like Penni as President. That, I could be excited about. And thinking about it provides pleasant, high contrast. We all voted for her, of course, as all sensible people in America did. She was the first President to be elected with every vote. And what do you know, she made us all advisors and things like that, with chairs that spin and tip (safely). We get in a big circle and yak yak yak and she decides what to do after that. She worries about some of us (ahem), but all in all most of us stay pretty happy. I wouldn't want to be criticized too much for my thinking by people with education and facts, but I think I could handle it. This is (amazingly!) like a dream to me, that I would like to come true. America would be better for it. Right? We could get things straightened out in no time, and eat under the trees on the grass.

Yes. No one looks good, or even not bad, in this whole mess. Clinton's behavior was, and continues to be deplorable. Who is he trying to kid by saying he didn't commit perjury. Starr went a bit overboard in his investigation and his report is a disgrace. Clinton's critics are being a bit sanctimonious and his supporters are splitting hairs and have forgotten that if he had kept the First Unit in his pants in the first place, none of this would have happened.

..."Would I want my family to know about it?" criteria, I open myself to whatever consequences follow, extreme, unfair, it doesn't matter, because I chose to put myself in that position. Yes, I shall never forget your endless tales of woe regarding the fallout from that Seabourne round the world cruise you took on the spur of the moment with your slavishly devoted personal trainer. Boy, did the fur fly over that one! And to think they didn't even appreciate the postcards that you were so very careful to send from each port of call. Not a one taped to the fridge when you got back.

penni-- I heard this morning that there is a provision in the independent prosecutor law that basically says once the independent prosecutor turns over evidence to Congress, Congress can do whatever it wants with it. Including releasing Grand Jury testimony to the public. DSD

No one complained a few years ago when Senator Packwood was convicted of sexual harassment and was ejected from the Senate. No one complained that the prosecutor was unnecessarily dredging up sleazy material because he had a perverted interest in sex. In fact, that prosecutor was commended by everyone for the excellent job that he had performed. Maybe if that same prosecutor had been hired to investigate Bill Clinton then we wouldn't have the problems we have with Starr. So I think we should insist on turning the Clinton investigation over to that same prosecutor. His name is Kenneth Starr.
