Dan, Clinton's spin miesters have succeeded in the last year of dumbing deviency down. The lies bought time for the strategy to work. A year ago Clinton said that he would just have to win. For a year he has dragged the country through the mud to save himself. So why are the markets good. Easy, he has been too busy to do any harm. Bob

Well she got some good plastic surgery out of the deal anyway. Less flippantly, I'd say your theory on Jones is somewhat cracked. On "Paula Jones (who originally kept her mouth shut!)", we have this. Consider how we got to where we are. At every stage the hand of the extreme right is evident. It began five years ago, when a far-right magazine, The American Spectator, printed an article by David Brock about the Arkansas troopers who guarded Bill Clinton when he was Governor. The article quoted one trooper as saying a woman named Paula was willing to be the Governor's "regular girlfriend." Mr. Brock has since said that he regrets throwing in that name. There are hundreds of women named Paula in Arkansas, and none were identified. But six weeks later Paula Jones came forward and demanded that President Clinton apologize for the slur on her reputation. Where did she do that? At a Washington conference of the Conservative Political Action Committee. nytimes.com As to the $850k, your theory is cracked there too. Similar offers were on the table long before any of this garbage broke, most recently: By the late summer of 1997, it may have been too late to settle. Clinton's legal team was offering $700,000, along with an expression of regret without an admission of wrongdoing. Davis and Cammarata urged Mrs. Jones to accept, telling her that her position would never be stronger. But Mrs. Jones had a falling out with her lawyers. Soon she had a new legal team, along with backing from the conservative Rutherford Institute of Charlottesville, Va. nytimes.com There were apparently other attempts to settle too. But I wouldn't want to disturb your personal theory on the matter. We're all stupid, and you're not, right?

It's not a matter of "forgiveness"...I wasn't wronged by Clinton's private life...He's a successful CEO. I like the job he and his administration are doing. Citizen Jones, along with Citizen Goldberg and Citizen Tripp are just pawns of the GOP. I don't find any of them to be credible. It's been painfully obvious all along to me that the anti-Clinton Coalition fabricated this bad soap opera...and they couldn't pull off the coup...BTW, mr.Packin'wood made forced physical contact with subordinate Women. Uninvited, unwanted, unprotected, unpreventable mucose membrane violation...You cannot compare the events. "You would deny that the Lewinsky testimony which so closely recalls the Jones charges so as to make Jones believed by most people today- would not have been lost to Jones?" This was the Fatal Flaw in the Mismanagers strategy...and it betrays their intentions as untoward. I think justice will be served by the acquittal. Now let's examine the ranks of the GOP for "sexual deviance"...it's prevalent in the bible-belt.
