This isn't the Goodole daze. It's hard to believe Algore is even considering a run. He's a turkey shoot candidate if I ever saw one.

Do you suppose this sudden revelation has anything to do with the Pentagon declaring Iraq cured?

<<With regard to the implementation of oil-for-food programme, successive reports of the UN Secretary-General have expressed serious concern about the unacceptably high level of malnutrition in Iraq, and underlined the need to procure nutrition items. The IOP says that up to 23 per cent of children in the centre and south of Iraq suffer from some degree of malnutrition. >>

Oval Office O.J.

Richmond Times-Dispatch
April 6, 1999 Editorial

Bill Clinton continues to reveal himself as a sociopath of breathtaking dimension. When Juanita Broaddrick accused him of rape, his silence convicted him. Reporter Michael Isikoff's book (Uncovering Clinton) is more disturbing than the Starr Report, citing additional incidents and corroborating evidence - such as Elizabeth Gracen's unpublicized claim Clinton bit her lip during "rough sex." Clinton quite likely deserves to be in jail, not occupying the seat of world power. But thanks to the majority of moral giants in the Senate, he is free and waging Monica's War. Not only that: Clinton remains stunningly unrepentant - every bit the Oval Office O.J. Hear him during a recent interview with CBS's Dan Rather.

"I do not regard this impeachment vote as some great badge of shame. I do not believe it was warranted, and I don't think it was right." Jealous enemies "attempted to use what should have been a constitutional and legal process for political ends [and] did not prevail."

(O.J.: Everywhere I've gone I've been welcomed and treated with respect. . . . I think I've been a good American. I'm just as innocent as any of them . . . .I was accused of a crime. I was, I feel, vindicated in the court of law.)

If he was so wrongly accused, isn't the President now consumed by resentment toward his enemies? No indeed. "I don't wake up every day mad at those people. Any moment I spend full of anger and bitterness is a moment I am robbing from my wife or from my daughter or from my country or from my friends. I just think that it's past us and we need to put it behind us, and we need to go on."

(O.J.: I have compassion for Fred Goldman for losing a son. I lost a daughter . . . .I try to ignore the negatives and focus on the positives. Let me raise my family and give me an opportunity to earn a living and support my family and friends as best I can.)

And how is Clinton's relationship with the First Lady, now that his betrayal has been exposed? "Given what we've been through, we're doing reasonably well . . . .We do love each other very much."

(O.J.: [After I pled guilty to spousal battery], my wife and I at that time went on with our lives . . . .It was a very traumatic incident in our lives. I love Nicole.)

But Clinton's perfidy surpasses O.J.'s: The man who disgraced the presidency, defiled the Oval Office, and waged war on the rule of law said - when asked why he didn't consider resigning - "I wouldn't do that to the Constitution. I wouldn't do that to the presidency. I wouldn't do that to the history of this country."

Not even O.J. can top that.
