Sullivan says these are "flights of fancy," which in my book means he strongly implies that they are untrue. Maureen Dowd typically indulges in flights of fancy. She sits in her office and simply imagining what the "Bushies" are doing and saying in the White House. Dowd invents conversations, invents thoughts, invents all sorts of things that have no connection with factual reality. That's what I call "flights of fancy."
Kennedy is a well-known drunk and a well-known adulterer. He made no great effort to hide either of these weaknesses. He even went so far as effectually to murder one of the young women he had an affair with and try to cover it up. Clinton did have a Christmas tree in the White House during his first term that was decorated with bongs--and also with condoms. Not a flight of fancy but a reported--though of course not widely reported--fact.

Just curious, but where WAS this Clinton Christmas tree story reported? Be nice to have a copy for reference.
