pezz, Wonder what kind of ratings her testimony would bring to the tube. Demonstrations of cigar techniques would certainly give C-Span a push up the charts. And an NC17 rating. :-) while the country goes to hell in a hand basket. I suspect the country and the stock market and the economy will do just fine. In fact, probably better than if the politicians were up to their usual game of passing new laws, taxes and regulations. If Washington DC is paralyzed for months and the populace ends up better off for it, that will be a very interesting educational experience. JB

Notice how the Republicans' list of potential witnesses keeps on expanding -- witnesses who have little or nothing to do with either of the two articles of impeachment in the Senate? To use a stock-market analogy, this is like pouring more and more money on a stock that keeps on going down and down and down -- "throwing good money after money that has already gone bad", as stock gurus call it. The Republican bag of tricks to unseat Clinton will become more and more unstructured as time passes. In order to ensure that they have at least 67 votes, they will keep trying more and more bizarre strategies as they go. And even as they are resorting to such desperate measures, the Republicans themselves are very likely to be rocked by the steady and periodic "debriefing" of many of their own Congressmen and/or Senators. Things are likely to become really, really, REALLY messy! But, as I have always said, the messier it is, the merrier it is (for the Democrats)! <G> And the sorrier the Republicans will be, after the Year 2000 elections!
