...Jones' lawyers have asked for $1 million and that Clinton's have countered with $500,000 -- roughly equal to Paula Jones' legal costs. Mercifully, Jones seems to have dropped her long-standing demand for a Rose Garden apology. Clinton, of course, has already performed more than his share of mea culpas lately...
Impeachment is as much a political as a legal process. It is where the sacrament of penance becomes politically relevant. Clinton performed miserably in his first public ceremonies of repentance, but then last Friday, at the White House prayer breakfast, delivered at last a persuasive peccavi, mea culpa.

"The President admitted to us that the timing of his speech was probably not the best," Rep. Jim McGovern...
