Jozef a very original point of view.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world is getting this amazing story for free.
Perhaps we should start charging for the overseas rights and recover some of the taxpayer funds. Hell the Starr investigation could go a longs ways to help the budget surplus. If we start on the private lives of more of the politicians we might even get rid of taxation alltogether.

Here's some suggestions:

1.) Bob Dole.....how did he become a gazillionaire with watergate apartments etc while he's been serving the people for years and years on a senatorial pittance.

2.) Gingrich.....how about those millions of dollars in book advances for books that no-one bought.

3.) Ted Kennedy...Jeez he would need his own mini-series......
