...waiting at the gate in sweltering heat until she looked "like she went a couple of rounds with Muhammad Ali." It was Gingrich who orchestrated the early stages of the impeachment proceedings and who insisted on maximum dissemination of both the Starr report and the tape of Clinton's grand-jury testimony...
Hyde meanwhile sent the White House a list of 81 questions, asking that the President confirm or deny specific findings in Starr's report. Some of the "requests for admission" ask whether he lied in his deposition in the Paula Jones case or in his testimony before Starr's grand jury.

Which could explain why the independent counsel is not making an official impeachment charge -? and why he released the Willey evidence on a day when the rest of Washington was focused on Iraq.
