...nothing like the well-mannered setting of the courtroom. The hearing could look more like a World Wrestling Federation match, a forum where Starr's words could be drowned out by jousting between, say, Barney Frank, Democratic maestro of the verbal stiletto, and Bob Barr, the humorless but relentless Republican former prosecutor.
