There are all kinds of interesting ways to confess. Long ago, Jimmy Carter startled America by admitting, in a Playboy interview, to "lust in my heart"--not a confession at all, really, but coy, juvenile exhibitionism. Playboy would not be a good forum for Clinton. Jimmy Swaggart wept and chewed the furniture on the soundstage of his TV ministry. Without the gnashing of teeth, Clinton might at least entertain the idea of a group format. He is good at the Oprah-type give-and-take. If confession becomes inevitable, best to take control of the drama and stage-manage...
...well with his ex-wife that he has her over for parties. He's still close with ex-girlfriend Ali Dickson, who helped him build his charitable foundation. Last year, at a press conference announcing he'd be giving $1 million a year to child-abuse charities, he wept: he's got that gentle giant thing down. His vision is so bad (20/500) that his 1990 first baseman's Gold Glove award for defensive play sits in the office of his optometrist. He cried during Driving Miss Daisy. You want to hug this guy. Or at least get your arms...
Christensen touted Dobson's endorsement in his ads, but the G.O.P. star tanked at 28% (and wept like a baby), upset by the moderate Johanns, who pointedly criticized Christensen for his homophobia. Could people be seeing that the Christian right is not very Christian? The golden rule doesn't include gay bashing and divisiveness; Nebraskans traditionally had to overlook each others' differences in order to raise each others' barns. And, perhaps, the hundreds of thousands of Cornhuskers who attend the church of their choice found Christensen's passion for the proposed "Religious Freedom Amendment" to the Constitution an exercise...
Upon hearing the news, President Clinton banged a drum to an uneven beat, and strummed a guitar that he cannot play, and chewed a cigar that his wife will not let him smoke. Paula Jones' response was even more typical of the person she is: she wept, we are told, and then announced to reporters gathered at her condo, "I want to go work...
...story of Jesus and Lazarus from the Gospel: "He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes." A promise of resurrection--and an allusion to the deepest of sorrows. For it was over Lazarus that Jesus wept. In a more modern tribute to the girls, Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On was played over and over at the funerals. It is the theme song of Titanic, a favorite movie of the children's, and their most poignant artifact of love after death...
