Democrats Full of Glee at Hearing nytimes.com


"Lie in a case involving sex. After all, he says, gentlemen do that, " Inglis declared icily, glaring at Schlesinger who sought to reply.

"May I?" asked the Presidential historian.

"In a moment," Inglis snapped. He never offered rebuttal time.

Someone else finally did, and Schlesinger, playing on Inglis's use of "sophisticated," accused the Congressman of a "highly sophisticated misrepresentation." The President was "disgraceful" in his behavior, Schlesinger said, but it was a matter for public shame and self-rebuke for "callousness and stupidity," not a matter for impeachment.

Inglis stared stonily. Privately, Democrats chortled later in the corridor, viewing Inglis as the victim of the ultimate witness testimony before the committee -- the voters' judgment last Tuesday.

"Stick a fork in him," one Democrat said mercilessly of Inglis, who is leaving Congress after failing last week in a Senate bid in which he was uninhibited in lambasting the President's behavior.

Nothing like a bit more innuendo to start the story off right. Hyde's dalliance wasn't exactly a secret, you know, the other parties involved are still around and might have had their own motives for coming forward as old Henry, the Papal Knight, prepared to move the inquisition forward. The Grand Inquisitor Ken Starr investigated this one too, right? Maybe it just wasn't titillating enough to make it into the "report", right? Starr'll put out the truth on that matter when he testifies, right?
