A cute nickname somehow doesn't fit a man who ripped off his employees, stockholders and all Californians, but here you have it. President Bush's nickname for his good buddy and energy adviser Kenneth L. Lay of Enron is "Kenny Boy."
Never has a president been so lucky to be at war. At any other time, the Enron scandal would make Whitewater look like a tempest in a trailer park.
"No comment dept.: The Boston Medical Group's ads in The Chron say: "Premature ejaculation? Immediate results." "
I thought the SF Chronicle claimed that there was absolutely nothing illegal about Whitewater. Are they at least now admitting that the Clinton's may have done something illegal?

Oh, that's right, liberals are morally and ideologically bankrupt cowards, aren't they?
SAN FRANCISCO (SH) -- Free at last. Free at last to start asking the big questions.
Does Paula Jones have to give back the wardrobe and the makeover?
Do MSNBC and CNN start laying off commentators? Please, please, please.
Will Matt Drudge have to get a real job, say in computer keyboard repair?
Does the Rutherford Institute have another case to fund? They say they'll carry on with Jones' appeals, no matter how much money or coiffage it takes.
Where does the vast right-wing conspiracy go now? There can't be that many homes on the market in Idaho.
Does Ken Starr have a real estate agent in Malibu yet? I don't think so. He still has his pointy little incisors around a piece of real estate on Bill Clinton's leg.
Please, Lord, let Starr's jones for Clinton go away too. I'll forgive Clinton if he lied. It's a two-for-one commandment sale just to get out of this sorry business.
Clinton is a politician. We elected him because he was better at lying than the other guy.
Thank you, Susan Webber Wright, for dismissing Jones' lawsuit against President Clinton. Wright, the U.S. district judge in Little Rock, said Jones' claims did not meet the standard for sexual harassment.
A governor of Arkansas can allegedly make sleazy overtures to a woman, but if nothing comes of this alleged sleaziness, she doesn't have a case. She should have just slapped the guy -- high or low, her choice.
We don't know if Clinton did unzip in front of her, but at the time he was governor of Arkansas. Does anyone really care what a governor of Arkansas allegedly does as long as he doesn't frighten the chickens?
Another question: Where did that word "alleged" go?
I guess it got in the way of all those new words cramming the front pages, words like "oral sex." A lot of women had their names scribbled on huge, electronic bathroom walls. Never mind the alleged "El Schmucko."
It's time for that phrase to fade from memory, along with El Nino, as well as the mudslides that went with both.
As you probably know, I am not much of a Clinton fan, yet I greet Wright's decision with joy, even though it means a shocking transition from welfare to work for many journalists.
Washington reporters will have fewer women's names to keep tossing at presidential press secretary Mike McCurry, while he keeps saying he doesn't know anything. Beltway bigfeet will have to bone up on NATO.
Americans can go back to reading the sports section and making funny jokes, instead of big-hair jokes.
Columnists (like some I could name by looking at my driver's license) can stop moralizing, immoralizing and theorizing why women and men have such different responses to Bill Clinton's alleged dalliances.
Personally, I think it's because he's so darn cute, but until now I haven't been able to bring myself to say it.
He's too darn cute. He can change from a cute Democrat to a cute Republican at the drop of a congressional majority.
He can give up on universal health care because his wife singularly messed up the first try.
He can hug gays when they help him get elected, and then make their lives miserable in the military he dodged.
He can make teeny-weeny, miniaturized policy strictly for symbolic purposes. Then he can proclaim it progress, and people believe him.
He can be charged with every thing up to and including eating gazelle with monkey sauce, and still his poll numbers go up.
You have to admit, Bill Clinton is one hell of a politician and he looks presidential in the larger rooms of the White House.
You wouldn't believe the joy the dismissal of the Jones case caused in the newsroom, and not because everyone is a great fan of Clinton's. We were just plumb tuckered out, as they may or may not say in Arkansas.
I've already started a brain dump of all the sex scandal trivia, like the name of that former Miss America I wrote about -- when -- yesterday?
I am working very hard to erase the memory of Ken Starr's and Bob Bennett's frog faces, as well as the image of Linda What's Her Two-Face.
It won't work. Starr will keep chasing his great white whale, Moby Bill, until he drowns tangled in his own subpoenas.
Where does all the garbage go when you hit the "delete" button? Do the Clinton rumors and jokes disappear, or remain some where in that infinite slop of electrons called the Internet?
Even stalwart Judge Susan Webber Wright can't dismiss the jokes and rumors that will keep cropping up. I take pride in very little in this affair, but I refrained from printing any of the thousands of Clinton jokes people sent me. Only two were any good, never mind which.
This just in: Some good news for Paula Jones. Joey Buttafuoco is getting his own Los Angeles public access TV talk show featuring people "jammed up in the media, by law enforcement and by the system."
Jones could get a spot as a guest. So could Clinton. So could all those women.
If you don't remember Joey Buttafuoco, you don't have to. With luck, Paula Jones soon will be sitting on the couch of "The Joey Buttafuoco Show" along with Linda the Snitch and Monica Lebowski ... Lewinsky ... who cares anymore? Coming soon to America's collective memory dump.

(**snicker**) I notice that Morse spent 95% of the above 1998 article sucker-punching conservatives and people that had crossed his Lord and Master, the Sink Emperor. ;-)
Too bad the Net doesn't let little trolls like Morse get away with their lying horseClinton anymore...
I tried flushing it, but it got clogged in my low-flush toilet!
