...diversion cost at least $75 million, at a million per cruise missile, for all of an hour's work. No figures available on Clinton's first diversion, that February tango with Saddam, but those battleships sure don't run on solar power. And as overhead, you've got Ken Starr. At $40 million, the taxpayers would certainly have been better entertained by two Brandos and a Jim Carrey...
WASHINGTON: Now that he's confessed, what about the mess on the dress? Sources close to Ken Starr say they have obtained a sample of President Clinton's DNA Thursday, and that it will be sent directly to the FBI crime lab where Monica's infamous blue Gap dress currently resides. Prosecutors most likely obtained the sample -- blood or saliva -- from Bethesda Naval Hospital, where the President has his annual physicals...

As new evidence emerges in the case of the mysterious fund-raising phone calls, the Veep is once again in danger of finding his very own Ken Starr yapping at his heels.

The theme on Capitol Hill Tuesday was "betrayal," as liberal luminaries lined up to wag the finger at their wayward President. "I am very disappointed in his personal conduct," said Dick Gephardt. "My trust in his credibility has been shattered," lamented Senator Dianne Feinstein of California -- previously one of the President's most vocal defenders, now a vituperative detractor. Hell hath no fury like a congresswoman scorned...
