Thanks. I could never showcase your ignorance better than you have done yourself. You are a greater distiller of ignorance than most of your ilk. A small monument to ignorance and mendacity.

<<I find it amazing that Starr spent $50 million and many years looking for evidence of Clinton's misdeeds, and all he had to do was talk to you!>> Two minor corrections - according to the GAO, the total spent to date was just over $40 million, of which around $4 million was spent by Starr's predecessor, and around $4 million was the direct result of Clinton's stonewalling (this last part was not from the GAO report). Still a big number, but significantly less than the $50 million you quoted. I believe you are confusing this investigation with the 6 1/2 year $48 million investigation of Iran/Contra, that resulted in no charges being considered by the Democrat Congress against then President Reagan or Bush. The other point - the investigation was aimed at discovering if any government officials, not just Clinton were involved in crimes. To date, there have been numerous convictions for just such crimes.
