...McKinney told the court that the chains, fur-lined manacles, rope, chloroform and wedding trousseau complete with "pink feathers and see-through nighties" were all props for the bondage sessions she planned for McKinnon. "We had such a fun time - just like old times," McKinney told the court in her native North Carolina drawl. "I love him so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to," she added. Such sexual frankness rather stuck out in a magistrates court in sedate, suburban Surrey, England, in those days...

...over. In fact, I was rather excited. Think of the outfit that Hillary Clinton will be wearing! I should probably interject that I have never voted and that my idea of civic responsibility is my encyclopedic knowledge of the contents of Jackie Kennedy’s wedding trousseau.

...Bush has made, on the whole, a surprisingly good start, putting distance between himself and 2000's electoral wreckage. He has gotten two unexpected windfalls: 1) the Clintons' shameless Kansas City checkout from the White House (the pardons, the $190,000 trousseau, the most corrupt sale of indulgences since the Reformation) has managed to make Bush look unexpectedly presentable by contrast.
