...about it later. The Jones documents allege that Clinton's longtime allies--aide Bruce Lindsey, former aide Betsey Wright, old friend Skip Rutherford and former security chief Buddy Young--used sweet persuasion, ugly threats or the promise of state and federal jobs to squelch what Wright has famously called "bimbo eruptions...
...Specifically, her lawyers hope to present "a pattern and practice" by the President of sexually harassing other women, bolstering Jones' broader claim of sexual discrimination. (The courts have said such patterns are relevant in discrimination cases.) Jones and her lawyers figured that if they could find as yet undetonated "bimbo eruptions" in Clinton's past, they could show this damning pattern: that again and again Clinton hits on women with less power than he. It was this investigation that yielded Monica Lewinsky, not to mention Kathleen Willey and dozens of others tracked down by the Jones team. Today Willey could...
...aide who worked out the deal, Browning says, was White House deputy counsel Bruce Lindsey. Back in Arkansas, it was chief of staff Betsey Wright who quieted the "bimbo eruptions"--a phrase she coined--so the Clinton show could go on. Last week's filings assert that Lindsey has taken on that role in the White House. Independent counsel Ken Starr is so interested in Lindsey that he has called him before the grand jury three times in two months. The relentlessly low-profile Lindsey has always been an enigmatic figure, best known for playing late-night games of hearts...

Since unresolved questions and muddied waters are hallmarks of the Clinton presidency, glossing the indiscretions and lingering over the cover-up feels just right.

Susan Stanton slaps her husband when she hears evidence of his infidelity, yanks...
...knows the meaning of the word confidential, Lindsey is Clinton's one-man inner sanctum, privy to his thinking on everything from Saddam Hussein to the bimbo eruptions that Lindsey helped contain during the '92 campaign. He also helped prepare Clinton's deposition in the Paula Jones case last month and might know something about the talking points that Lewinsky is supposed to have given to Tripp to guide her testimony in the Jones case...
