With enemies like Dan Burton, Bill Clinton doesn't need friends. The feisty and sometimes flaky Indiana Republican is slated to chair the House hearings on campaign-finance scandals, but even as he prepares to cast the first stones, he is being hit with allegations of his own fund-raising sins.

What if Rik Smits actually started playing hard? What if the Davis twins learned to shoot? Look what Danny Ainge did with the Phoenix Suns this year. If Larry gets his talent in Indiana to play that well together...yikes...
