What's often been said of Clinton--that the man has a gift for inspiring affection with a word of greeting and a handshake--may be even truer of Lewinsky. By the end of her grand jury testimony, according to the transcripts, the courtroom resembled an Oprah studio taping. The woman who'd used broad smiles and cute pet names to soften up the Commander in Chief had turned the grand jurors to pudding. "We've all fallen short," one assured her. "We sin every...
...many, when even the Queen of Talk is at a loss for words, when her lively brand of armchair wisdom collapses under the weight of personal revelation. Oprah Winfrey calls these her "go there" moments, spiritual episodes of divine guidance that far transcend the chatty exchanges with her studio audiences--about her fiance Stedman, her best friend Gayle or even her dogs Sophie and Solomon--that often masquerade as intimacy.

For Morrissey fans it makes for fascinating listening--his voice has never been as versatile and expressive. It's also quite sexy, as the constantly screaming fans in the background emphasize. The talent is there--but the song itself is crap. A guitar in the background chokes out basic chords with an simple Natalie Imbruglia-esque rhythm as Morrissey churns out such drivel as "I danced myself out of the womb...Is it strange to dance so soon?....What...
