...That's what Mondale told the grand jury on July 16 this year, when Starr called her in to testify. Like the obsessive prosecutor he is, Starr wanted to cover all the angles. And so Mondale ended up contributing a single word to the Starr report: "correctly" -- as in "Ms. Lewinsky correctly surmised that the President was meeting with Ms. Mondale." Was Starr trying to make the proverbial, subtle-as-a-brick inference of a Clinton-Mondale affair? That's certainly the implication of footnote 739 -- Lewinsky's jealous comment to Tripp -- which isn't even referenced in the text...
...timing of this relevation, of course, is extraordinary, given that the 30-year-old adultery came to light the day before Hyde's committee is scheduled to vote on whether to release the President's grand jury testimony. The 71-year-old Hyde put the affair down to "youthful indiscretion" -- even though he was in his forties at the time, not much younger than Clinton is now. Other GOP luminaries cried conspiracy: "The President's attack dogs," said Majority Whip Tom DeLay, "don't know the difference between breaking the law and making a mistake decades ago." For its part...
...week was anything but subtle. Flowers, who nearly derailed President Clinton's bid for the White House in 1992, sang "Who's Got the Last Laugh Now?" and "Why Haven't I Heard From You?" during her performance at the Electronic Retailing Association's annual conference at the MGM Grand Hotel. Flowers declined to comment on Clinton's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky because, she said, she has no interest in generating any more publicity on the issue. "They don't need any of my help on that...
...something more than censure is warranted -- like maybe picking up the tab for the approximately $4 million spent nailing down Clinton's evasions since January. Perhaps more importantly, there's a whole nest of legal ramifications should the President publicly admit that he lied under oath. Ken Starr's grand jury is still in session, for one. Whatever deal Congress makes, Starr could still indict Clinton after he leaves office. Paula Jones, too, would be blissfully happy with an admission of perjury. It could help reopen her lawsuit and pave the way for a hefty out-of-court settlement...
...classic trio: sex, lies and videotape. The first two were revealed in nauseating detail in the Starr report, and if you thought that was embarrassing for the President, wait till you see the third. The tapes of his August 17 grand jury testimony were included in the 36-box CARE package Starr sent to Congress last week; now the House Judiciary Committee has signaled that they may be among the first batch of supporting evidence put in the public domain. Imagine: four to six hours of the leader of the world's last superpower giving slippery answers to questions about...
