People (like me) who think Slick Willie is hilarious! In the interest of fairness and out of respect for the presidency, as of today, I will be posting only self-criticism (such as this post) or arguments against impeachment (e.g., being world's butt of jokes is not impeachable). Here's when majority counsel interrogated Ken Starr: MR. SCHIPPERS: Now, judge, let's do some fairness comparing here. Did anybody in the grand jury while the president was testifying laugh at him? MR. STARR: Yes. MR. SCHIPPERS: Who? MR. STARR: Members of the grand jury.

OK, Howard, lets hear your defense of this presidential prize specimen. A real leader to whom all the little kids can look up. Especially the girls. Defend him, declare yourself tolerant of his behavior. Show us all how you feel. Let us know where you stand. Geeeeeez. Some people just don't get it.

People who belittle accomplishments & job creation power of Slick's White Hse! MR. SCHIPPERS: There is a term that has stuck in my brain from these transcripts that I've read, and that is "mission accomplished." When Webb Hubbell needed help, Vernon Jordan got somebody at Revlon or the parent company of Revlon to put him on retainer for no work, right? MR. STARR: Essentially no work. MR. SCHIPPERS: So Vernon Jordan, mission accomplished. When Monica was looking for a job, and it became very urgent for her to get a job, Mr. Jordan again accomplished his mission. MR. STARR: Yes, he did. MR. SCHIPPERS: When Ms. Currie -- when they wanted to get rid of the gifts, Ms. Currie went and picked them up, put them under her bed to keep them from anybody else; another mission accomplished. MR. STARR: That's correct.
