But plenty of parents were incensed in a nonpartisan way by the thought that the young woman might have been thus debauched in the house of Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt. Could the President truly have divided his time between worrying about his place in history and corrupting an intern? Now he may have a convergence, with the second activity defining the first...

Larenz Tate does his best with the impoverished role of angry young black man Ford Lincoln Mercury. And then, of course, there is Tom Petty, in all of his potheaded glory--a real treat for all Pettyphiles out there...
