E, I would agree that Paula Jones was sorely used by the conservative right wing. However, I believe you may have your facts wrong about the coworker. According to this CNN synopsis, Paula told a coworker and a friend the details of what happened right after the event. CNN is a decidedly liberal news entity, so when they are reporting this I believe they would slant the report against Paula if they could: cnn.com This is not directed at you (it is at Del, though), but I am just a little tired of every woman who comes forwarded being discredited because she is either of a lower social class, has been used by the religious right, told her story, wrote a book, or whatever. The Clinton spinmeisters have used all of this unmercifully to impugn the basic stories these women tell. Now there are so very many women that it is really hard to argue that they are all lying, or blame Ken Starr because Clinton is a sexual predator. Juanita Broaddick was a Democratic campaign worker, is independently wealthy, and will not be writing a book. Kathleen Willey was also a Clinton campaign worker. Both of these women are alleging that he made forceful advances towards them--I have read that Willey's testimony to Starr paints Clinton's advances as much more brutal than the CBS 60 Minutes report did. I did not know anything about Paula Jones' husband except that he lost his job at Northwestern as a result of Paula's suit. She did not speak of him very much on the Larry King interview. Are they separated or something? The last time I heard, he was very much making major decisions on how her case should proceed. Incidentally, of the Americans who saw the Broaddrick interview, 62% believed her, according to the first poll results out today. I wonder what will happen next. One thing I did not see on the Sunday talk shows today were the usual talking heads like Carville coming out defending him, although perhaps I just missed one.
