As for the fundamentally contradictory opinions looking through the same warped neoclassical lenses, well for enough money anything is possible or any form of shit is potentially elegantly quantifiable and marketable with sincerity and force as if force "proves" sincereity and real "evidence". By the way, has anyone suggested impeaching Clinton on the grounds that in spaying "presidue" or the presidentiall wad--"DNA Matter", he failed in his duty as a national role model and figure and example for the young in that he did not practice "safe sex". What if Starr had asked the following questions: "Whatever you had/did, if Monica Lewinski were HIV positive, would you or possibly Hillary or possibly someone else be well advised to get an HIV test? or Whatever you and Monica were doing, if Chelsea were doing the same thing with her prof at Stanford for an A, would you have any problem with that? But I just can't wait for the State of the Union. It will be Fellini-cubed or Apocalypse Now tripled in surrealism. I'm just going to love and and record it for posterity.
