Sorry about the mispelling, Bill. Sorry all the idiots turned out for the election too. Big success for Republicans everywhere, as you say. There's dancing in the streets!! From nytimes.com : The Democratic surge was the first time since 1934 that the President's party had gained seats in a midterm election and it whittled the Republican lead in the House down to 12 votes and the majority to 6. The Democratic victories were even more remarkable in a year marked by the monthslong scandal over President Clinton's affair with Monica S. Lewinsky. The Republicans' new 223-to-211 majority (assuming a Democrat leading in Oregon holds on to win), with one independent, amounted to the smallest Congressional majority since the Republican-led Congress of 1953, the last time Republicans controlled the House until they captured it again in 1994. With attention now shifting to the House Judiciary Committee and its impeachment inquiry into Clinton, Representative Henry J. Hyde of Illinois told fellow Republicans on the panel in a conference call yesterday that the only witness Republicans were likely to call was the independent counsel, Kenneth W. Starr. There were reports last night that Hyde might call another witness, an expert on the meaning of testifying under oath to help the committee in deciding whether Clinton committed perjury. . . . Taking his share of the blame for his party's losses, the Georgia Republican said he had misjudged how the public would recoil from the Clinton scandal and how the scandal would drown out other Republican themes. "I mean I totally underestimated the degree to which people would just get sick of 24-hour-a-day talk television and talk radio and then the degree to which this whole scandal became just sort of disgusting by sheer repetition," Gingrich said. Nobody ever got tired here, though, did they Bill? To his credit, the non-partisan and professional Newt isn't in total denial on the matter, unlike the wiser heads here. Just wait till those other matters come out, right Bill? Starr's got something up his sleeve that'll turn the whole thing around again, just you wait. Cheers, Dan. P.S. Shouldn't it be algore, in honor of you primary influence in the creative name calling department?
