He likened the prosecutors to storm troopers, animals, a "danger to the moral fabric of our society." In this light Monica was in a fight of good vs. evil; cooperating in any way with the investigation would itself be the worst sort of collaboration.

The nation's leading rocketmeister was the boy wonder of Peenemunde, Wernher von Braun, inventor of Hitler's Vengeance Rocket...
...themselves heard in an election season. But a new poll, commissioned the Republican Leadership Council, indicates that the GOP's sensible silent -- the fiscally conservative but socially hands-off moderates -- had better get their turn at the mic if the party expects to win elections. "If Republicans focus on moral issues there is a real chance we will lose the House of Representatives," poll taker Kieran Mahoney told reporters Monday...
