-Caveat Lector- -------- forwarded message -------- From: The Progressive Review <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 02 Dec 1998 Subj: UNDERNEWS Dec 2 The Progressive Review On-Line Report From Washington's Most Unofficial Source SAFIRE ON BILL What Clinton has done in his mocking answers to 81 questions is to fling down a gauntlet: Impeach me if you dare. If you dare not, then the only adjectives acceptable to me in a shame-on-you- resolution are "indefensible" and "wrong" about my initial behavior and "misled" about my subsequent denials under oath (not 'lied' and certainly never 'unlawful'). You have my permission to be cross, goes this message -- but not judgmental. -- William Safire 81 ANSWERS Mr. Clinton is asking members to decide whether lying and dissembling are a sufficient defense for a president accused of lying and dissembling. -- Washington Post editorial WHITEWATER RIPPLES "Someone close to the President" explained to the New York Post's Neal Travis, why the White House wants censure: "Censure means nothing. Why, the next time there's a Democratic-controlled Congress, they could have the censure expunged from the Congressional Record." Attorney Christopher Horner offered the Washington Times' John McCaslin this take on the warped logic of the Clintonistas: "Lie under oath - bad. Lie under oath about sex or to facilitate your sex life -- fine. Steal a car -- bad. Steal a car to have sex in, or get to your sex -- fine. Rob a bank -- bad. Rob a bank and use the proceeds to assist with sex -- fine. .... Do anything you want illegal; but ensure that at some point in the process you have some sex; you are then off the hook." .
