In Citizen Clinton, Susan Estrich, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin had an imaginary discussion about the (probably) imaginary incident where Clinton raped Tipper Gore:

ESTRICH: Oh Alan, don’t you think we’re all overreacting just a little bit here? The true story here is how the Republicans are continually using the president’s sex life to hide the fact that their agenda is so scary to all Americans everywhere. I mean this incident occurred over 23 hours ago! Do we really need to be discussing this?
COULTER: Susan, your hypocrisy is absolutely breathtaking. Are you suggesting that we should ignore a video tape of the president raping the wife of the vice president in the oval office?
ESTRICH: I’m saying….this is a matter between the president, the first lady, and the vice president. I mean, if Al Gore can forgive him, why do you still want to punish him? I mean, he gave her ice! How much more contrition does he have to show?
COULTER: I hate to be blunt, Susan, but you make me absolutely sick to my stomach. How can you call yourself a feminist with a straight face?
ESTRICH: Well Ann, I am sincerely sorry if my ability to see beyond these right-wing distractions upsets your stomach. I find it so amusing that we feminists, who used to be attacked for hating men, are now attacked for loving one man unconditionally. I had breakfast this morning with Patricia Ireland and Gloria Steinhem, and we all agreed that if we were married to Al Gore, a fat lip and a broken collar bone would be a small price to pay for a little fun with Clinton. And Pat’s a lesbian for goodness sakes!
HANNITY: I can’t believe what I am hearing Susan. You called for Clarence Thomas to be kept off the Supreme Court because he allegedly used dirty words, now you have no problem with a president who rapes?
ESTRICH: Sean, first of all, let me state that I do not support rape. You know, I was a rape victim myself.
LEVIN: (muttering) That was an act of mercy.
ESTRICH: What did you say, Mark!?
LEVIN: I said, “I have a house in Jersey.”
ESTRICH: Oh. Sean, as I was saying, I don’t support rape. It’s just that we need to move on. Where is this going?…
