I enjoyed reading your backward chronology. I was amazed at how much *****ing and moaning has gone on in this country since the beginning. For some reason nostalgia (sp?) seems to take the hard edges off of memories. I've lived through Watergate, Iran-Contra, the S & L Failures, and all of Clinton's women and only the Clinton hearings seem to reasonate with the kind of vitriol that is rampant today.
But these may be the good old days too.

Thank you. It was meant to be funny. If I had wanted to be nasty, I would have mentioned the Republlican running for the Senate in Illinois who just got exposed as a guy who tried to force his soon-to-be-ex-wife into joing his group sex clubs (talk about
swing voters). I mean, if I wanted to get really nasty, I'd have mentioned the Republican congressmen who just got out of jail for negligent homicide for criminally running over one his own voters, or I could have mentioned the new ex-Governor of Conneticutt who is about to be indicted on bribery charges, or I might even mention Bob Barr, the pro-life congressman who got caught arranging an abortion for his knocked-up teenage daughter, or I could mention how Gingrich was having an adulterous affair with his (now wife) secretary the whole time he was going after Clinton. If I wanted to get really nasty, I'd bring up the big-time Christain right congressional leader Henry Hyde, who lived part of the time with his girlfriend and illegitimate kids, and part of the time with his wife and kids, and of course, who could forget our Speaker of the House-For-a-Day Bob Livingstone, whose ex-girlfreind sent pictures of him in his birthday suit to Larry Flint. I could have said that. But that would be wrong. And mean-spirited. I'm just not like that.
