...still can't catch a break with suburban women. It isn't only her hunger for the job; she just doesn't come across as genuine. It is hard for people to tell what's true when you can't talk about the things most important to you and have to put a smiley face on one of the toughest political marriages in history. When she says she felt like a newlywed unpacking boxes in Chappaqua, it rings hollow. Does she really relish the prospect of rattling around in the huge empty house on her own? When she says...
...first slip of the lip came when he told his audience, "When we carry Iowa in November, it'll mean the end of four years of Clinton-Gore." (He meant eight years, of course.)

His patter included a mention of the sword of Damocles poised above San Francisco's offensive line, a riff in which he imagined a player whose jersey number was pi, and the observation that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick "blinks about as frequently as Clint Eastwood in a Sergio Leone film." This isn't just wit. This...
...meantime, you can still catch "Action" in reruns on the FX network. It's on Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m., convention prime-time, when its breath of sewer air will make a refreshing antidote to the specious perfume wafting down from the podium...
