And who could blame David M. Anderson for not being able to get on with his hateful life? All Clinton hatred, all the time! That's what we like to see here. P.S. When's the wwf match between Jesse "the Body" and Garrison Keillor coming up? Think the Body will partner with Ross Perot in a tag team match?

Clinton not fit for office, says former aide WASHINGTON, March 8 (AFP) - Ex-Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos questions the US president's fitness for office in yet another expose by a former White House insider. In a book to be published Thursday, a week after "Monica's Story" hit the bookstores, Stephanopoulos asserts that Clinton "tarnished" the presidency of the United States and those associated with his administration. "Knowing what we know now I don't think he'd be fit enough to be elected," Stephanopoulos told Newsweek magazine ahead of the launch of his book, "All Too human," published by Little, Brown and Co. "He lost the battle with himself, tarnished his presidency and all of us associated with it," he wrote in the book, for which he has reportedly received a 2.85 million dollars advance. Stephanopoulos, 38, was close to Clinton from the early days of his 1992 presidential campaign, became his press spokesman briefly and then a close advisor. "If I knew everything then that I know now, of course I wouldn't have worked for him, but he has been a good steward and I think he's been a good president, despite these horrible flaws," he told Newsweek. Stephanopoulos described Clinton as "a man used to being obeyed, admired, courted and loved" who exploits his "personal magnetism" to get what he wants. A darker side coexists, however, and "an impersonal physical force, like a tornado" could explode if his path was blocked. The former aide said his White House years affected his health and he was taking anti-depressant drugs and undergoing therapy by the time he left the administration in December 1996. He said he knew that Clinton was lying when the president denied having had an affair with Monica Lewinsky when the White House sex-and-lies scandal broke early last year. He told the magazine that the fight against impeachment "was the glue that was holding a lot of the White House together, people will now leave." Stephanopoulos, who teaches at New York's Columbia University and commentates on political affairs for ABC television, said the Clintons' had turned against him. "I heard that as far as Clinton was concerned I was a non-person, my name was not to be mentioned in his presence," he said. The accusations that he was disloyal to the president had hurt him deeply, the magazine reported. "The charges of disloyalty were the most painful. I didn't think Clinton had 'created' me or that loyalty demanded defending behavior I found abhorrent," he said.
