...course, a run-of-the-mill whiner. His whines are of a particularly elevated type. He went to Oxford, after all. At the Prayer Breakfast he took as the text for his complaints a passage from Isaiah: "Thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach." He has used the passage so often lately--it appeared, as well, in his Inaugural speech and the State of the Union--that he may soon attach it to his official title: President of the U.S., Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and Repairer of the Breach...

A decision in her favor would open the President up not to a run-of-the-mill civil lawsuit but a potentially lurid judicial voyage through a world of alleged use of state troopers to procure women, and purported "bimbo eruptions." Clinton would no doubt be questioned about contentions like paragraph 22 of Jones' complaint: that "[t]here were distinguishing characteristics in Clinton's genital area that were obvious to Jones." Even Justices reluctant to extend presidential privilege may feel that...
