This one is not bad either: 'Ridiculous' When I immigrated to the States many years ago I believed that it included a government "of the people, by the people, for the people." The current persecution of an elected president by the Republican party against the wishes of the majority of the electorate for sexual indiscretions which have absolutely no bearing on his ability to carry out the duties of his office is ridiculous in my opinion and in the eyes of most of the rest of the world and casts grave doubt on whether the Government (read Republicans) place any importance on the wishes of the people. I hope the Senate exhibits a more mature understanding of the situation and takes a more realistic stand ... My ten cents worth, -- Terry Pilkington, December 24

Plan emerging for speedy Senate trial cnn.com Another item from CNN today, Dipy. I just note in passing the little bit from ex-exterminator Tom "the Hammer" DeLay, trying to get back to his exterminator roots. He has a new trainee here, apparently. Rep. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), another of the 13 Republicans slated to manage the case for impeachment, said affidavits filed by unnamed "Jane Doe" witnesses in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit against Clinton could become an issue in the Senate trial. In an interview on CNN's "Evans, Novak, Hunt and Shields" to be aired this weekend, Graham was asked about a suggestion by House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) that the Senate consider evidence not included in Independent Counsel Ken Starr's released report. The South Carolina lawmaker says he believes some of the affidavits filed were false, like Lewinsky's. "There's some other witnesses who filed affidavits that I believe were not truthful, and the reason they didn't present the evidence truthfully is because they were afraid. And I think that may come out over time," said Graham. Yeah, who killed Vince Foster anyway? When in doubt, always go for a little more innuendo. Evidence? Who needs it. Obviously not the Hammer. My understanding is that more than a few people were afraid of the Grand Inquisitor, but I guess that's not what Graham's talking about here.
