Well, Bill old buddy, I don't like the politics of personal destruction, but Bill Clinton has been the #1 target for that particular form of politics since the day he was elected. As you well know. Larry Flynt is quite a latecomer and neophyte at that particular brand of politics. Richard Mellon Scaife is both much more practiced and considerably more subtle. By all indications, he's spent a lot more money on this kind of crap than Flynt, too. But I'm sure you will inform us that Scaife is interested only in truth and justice, right? He really, really wants to know who really killed Vince Foster.

As for Flynt, he can do what he wants. I've repeated many times I don't think Livingston should have resigned; I've also stated repeatedly that I though Livingston showed promise as Speaker. No, not in those words, but I can dig up posts if you insist. I did mock the Republican caucus applauding Livingston's confession, but that's the kind of thing that lends itself to mockery. Mostly, it seemed that Livingston couldn't take the heat.

On the other guys, we'll wait and see. I'd certainly shed no tears for Tom "the Hammer" DeLay, he seems nasty as anybody by all accounts. I mock Henry Hyde also, but he again lends himself to mockery, with his 7-year "youthful indiscretion" beginning at age 41, and his somewhat contrasting view of the importance of "integrity of the office of the President" in Iran-contra.
