...carnival act of a son rising from the dead - from the Arkansas gubernatorial defeat; from the long-winded disaster of his debut at the 1988 Democratic convention; from Didn't Inhale and Dodged the Draft; from Gennifer Flowers just before the New Hampshire primary in 1992; from the 1994 Gingrich apocalypse; from Whitewater and Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick's plausible accusation of rape; from Monica Lewinsky; from his criminal wag-the-dog attack on the Khartoum pharmaceuticals factory; from impeachment...

He did everything short of arranging sticks of dynamite into the shape of a woman, dropping a wig on it and hiding behind a nearby rock. Clinton made Starr funny and watchable.
