- just-in-time McDougal death A corrupt system cannot be cured from within Q ERTY1 rodham-clinton
REALITY CHECK bump!- It's not easy to play fair against Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, who, in the words of the authors, "operated like a crime family, expecting friends and aides to protect them even against their own best interests." What's amazing, of course, is that's exactly what Clinton friends and aides have always done, from Susan McDougal to Webster Hubbell to flocks of nameless White House special assistants. Even Jim McDougal died just in time to deprive the independent counsel of a key witness against Mrs. Clinton, thus derailing what the authors report to have been her likely indictment for perjury and obstruction related to the Whitewater investigation....
Reading the tumultuous events of the Lewinsky probe in a comprehensive narrative is unlike attempting to make sense of it in daily doses. Something different comes through the heavy accumulation of detail of, for example, the duplicity of the Justice Department, or the sharklike behavior of the White House. One begins to get a choking sense of the atmosphere of corruption and ruthlessness the Clintons inhabit -- and, worse, have forced the rest of us to inhabit. Taken in one piece, the habitual, even casual abuse of power on display begins to resemble conditions one normally associates with a state of totalitarianism, where such concepts as truth and justice are only paid lip service. In the end, then, it makes you wonder when there will be fresh air again.

- MIA T:
- Now, as regards the wretched Cheapside brat,
- And turmoil his concupiscence begat,
- Methinks MacJeff's crook'd feelpolitik, the lasix death, his solipsistic sex
- Thou must put in cold blood'd cardiovascular context.
- The brain deviseth laws for the blood,
- but the brain 'tself is ne'er understood.
- The King's crook'dness flows from limp circulation.
- Methinks the solution is swift amputation.
- EZ:
- Thou place thy versifier in a quandary,
- Redoubling thy most sharp-edged entendre.
- The gist of they intent can I but gape on.
- Dost thou propose the prez be made a capon?
- In blood caught up these wretches play their role,
- But this must not become Le Grand Guignol.
- Lest those of delicate mien be made to faint,
- 'Twere better I should exercise restraint.
- Mind you, Act I, scene 4 drips the odd bit of gore here and there.
- Now, as regards the wretched Cheapside brat,

- MIA T:
- Thy bard's excessive predilection metaphorical
- confuseth redoubled sharp-edged entendre with one blunt oracle.
- Forsooth, thy bard surely knowth,
- Phallus on eunuch can't growth.
- Plucking capon from hen's an impossibility,
- Unless the cluck's hermaphroditic Hillary.
