He rapped leftie litanies in "Bulworth," got pink in "Reds" and went up against a vast right-wing conspiracy in "The Parallax View" (not to mention pretty much embodying the shaggy-haired, hard-partying Love Generation for the meat of his career).

At one time, Hillary?s spin doctors may have welcomed Starr?s swansong as an opportunity to revive the image of their candidate as a target of some unending right-wing conspiracy, but a New York electorate fatigued by scandal is unlikely to be particularly sympathetic to the idea of Mrs. Clinton as a victim.
