- PINCH CLINTON

- In a quainter, less enlightened time, if you had read "pinch" and "clinton" in the same sentence, you would have thought, "hundreds of 'ministered to' troubled young girls," (as the wife was wont to put the clinton rapes and other predations)... not "roomfuls of stolen White House antiques."
-
- And yet, according to a reliable-source friend of mine, even back in those days, if the husband had designs on the help, the wife had designs on the furnishings; (she had already acquired the nasty habit of pilfering from the White House drapery fund.)
-
-
- In spite of this, when I created the following metaphoric musing more than a year before the clintons -- uh -- "moved," I never imagined that she would -- that they would -- in real life -- in real time -- actually swipe the sofa.

- Smaller objects neatly tuck-able in nuncupative deals & unnumbered Swiss accounts, without question...

- BUT THE SOFA??

"I think the rock is still there, but I'm not sure," Helen quipped. Her punch line to clinton's response to her question about a -- (only in Helen's mind) 'fantasy' -- clinton kleptocracy, was in fact 4th-estate CYA-ing disguised as a joke. Unbeknownst to the always clueless Helen, the one-liner she was delivering was indeed a joke; it was the butt of the joke that was her misreport... |

- She said the press corps followed a "golden rule that if it didn't affect the running of the country, they didn't need to report on it. We weren't protecting anybody."
-
- As President Bill Clinton reached his last days in office, Thomas asked him what White House possession he would like to take with him.
-
- His reply: the rock Neal Armstrong brought back from the moon. Whenever tension filled the Oval Office, Clinton said, he would point to the rock and tell those present to "chill out." The rock was 3.6 billion years old, he said; they needed perspective.
-
- "I think the rock is still there, but I'm not sure," Thomas said.

Helen Thomas: Bush-A Work in Progress |
- In the end,
- if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,
- it seems the joke will be on all of us,
- for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,
- for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.
-
- We will have set apart clinton as the hero
- by making his victims less human than he;
- we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims
- so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings
- as much as clinton himself does.
