...idea. By rejecting it now, we have, in Clinton's words, "severely harm[ed] the national security of the United States" and "damage[d] our relationship with our allies." Unfortunately, these concerns don't seem to matter as long as Lott and the GOP have a chance to publicly embarrass their arch-nemesis...
...Insiders say the about-face may be an attempt to embarrass Pataki, who is thought to be positioning himself as Bush's running mate and from whom Molinari has long been estranged.

...Porcellian: Not to embarrass this little modest club by bragging on their behalf, but the Porcellian has won the award ten years running of "most democratic use of an endowment that exceeds $100 million." Members of this club can look forward to secret lunchesand secret community service. Other activities involve allowing a homeless woman to beg outside their entrance because of a lack of a viable legal recourse...
