...have in mind a bloodbath that is thoroughly bipartisan. Let the Clintons be the first to go. American politics will not be healthy until they are purged from the system. Issue exit visas to Trent Lott and Tom DeLay, to Dick Armey, to the ancient and awful Strom Thurmond and the odious Jesse Helms. Let the ostraca fall upon the bombastic charlatan Jesse Jackson, upon Henry Hyde and Maxine Waters, upon Barbara Boxer and Orrin Hatch...

In that November 1997 fund raiser, gaming executives paid at least $1,000 a person to rub shoulders with Republican leaders Trent Lott and Mitch McConnell, in an event that gaming officials characterized as a "tremendous success." Democrats received similar treatment in July 1999 when House minority leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island and Ways and Means ranking member Charles Rangel of New York attended a Las Vegas luncheon...
