Let me tell you about a temp job I had once... Little more than clerical -- inputting data into a computer; it was for a local schoolboard, who for some reason was meeting in the evening at a local motel...not in a meeting room, no they'd rented two adjacent rooms, I was set up in one where they'd plugged in a laptop next to the bed, and periodically would send someone in to hand me some data to type. The rest of the time I watched TV (at their suggestion). My point is, sometimes legitimate business DOES get conducted in 'off hours' in motel/hotel rooms...and just because I was in a motel room in the evening wouldn't have excused any of the men on that schoolboard trying to force me into having sex with them (none did, BTW, but I still felt pretty uncomfortable with the setup)... But I'm sure that if one of them had done so, you, Aleisha, would call ME a 'floozie' and blame me, the victim, instead of the perp who really would have deserved the blame...

Re: [CTRL] In the Headlines: William J. Clinton Edges Out G.W.B
-Caveat Lector- Did it ever occur to anybody that the ex President is and was mentally disturbed - as though he got caught in a sex trap and did not want out? Still think, remember it was the night Monica delivered the pizza to the President, the famous episode occurred.from that time on it was blackmail with his phone tapped and the sex calls in in the wings this Goldberg with Mark Fuhrman and Linda Tripp - all such ugly people, oh so disloyal and such traitors. >From that day on when Monica delivered the pizza - I believe it was loaded with this drug Ecstasy..from that day on she stalked the President - this fat floosie who was just another prostitute used by I believe, the Mossad? Now Clinton had a weakness but he usually kept it under controlsuddenly all these floosies and loose ladies appear - oh terrible, terrible what he did to me - now how many "ladies: other than ladies of the evening would put themselves in such a compromising position - to be alone in a hotel room or anywhere with someone else's husband - in off hours with no official business. So what is the real story? The real story is Clinton will make more more money now than he ever did in his life; ;he lives in inffamy..but he also I believe, is a very sick man - mentally and spiritually and most of all physically? It all began that day this little fat floosie delivered the pizza to the President - with the Secret Service not checking it for drugs - the fact that she ws permitted to bring food to the President of the United States is highly suspect So Clinton is he Dead Man Walking? His friends now turn against him, if he had any real friends to begin with.give little people a little bit of authority, and see the tyrant.Clinton ws a little man. http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

One month into his tenure, President Bush still manages to get himself on
television and in the papers. But the degree to which a previous White House
occupant is stealing the media spotlight is nothing short of remarkable.
From Monday through Thursday -- as the president was staging events on
military reform -- the network evening newscasts aired 18 pieces on Bill Clinton
(seven of them the lead story) and only 14 about Bush. From Monday through
Friday, the New York Times ran four front-page Clinton stories and two on Bush;
The Washington Post, four apiece.
Bush advisers see a silver lining. "There's some heartburn about the fact the
message is getting stepped on," says Mark McKinnon, Bush's campaign media
strategist. "But it's not getting stepped on with a good message [about
Clinton]; it's getting stepped on with a bad message. For voters it's created
such a stark contrast in appearances that it's enhanced their perception of the
Bush administration."
But as former Clinton spokesman Joe Lockhart observes, "It's hard to govern
from Page A-17. The presidency is about getting the country engaged."
Or, as Jay Leno cracks, "Is it me, or is Clinton in the papers more now than
when he was president?" (Clinton still dominates in late-night jokes as
well.)
From Jan. 20 through Feb. 15, says the Center for Media and Public Affairs,
the ABC, CBS and NBC nightly newscasts have done 135 stories on Bush and 62 on
Clinton -- an eye-popping statistic considering that most former presidents
quickly vanish from the headlines. ("NBC Nightly News" aired the most Clinton
stories, 34, to 32 for Bush.)
"No news is good news for George Bush," says the center's Robert Lichter. "In
every new administration, someone gets clobbered by the media. Usually it's the
incoming president. This time it's the ex-president."
Some of the early Clinton controversies -- over his acceptance of gifts and
rental of pricey New York office space -- have faded, and the initial reports of
vandalism by departing White House aides are now seen as overblown. But
Clinton's pardon of fugitive Marc Rich has mushroomed into a full-blown,
international-intrigue, much-investigated, cable-ready scandal.
But as awful as the pardon looks -- and even Democrats have been denouncing
their former leader -- it's more absorbing for journalists than the latest
maneuvering over Bush's tax-cut plan. For the media, scandal trumps boring
Washington substance.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer says his boss isn't worried about being
overshadowed. "I assure you the president does not have any such frustration,"
Fleischer told reporters. "He's just looking forward and not looking
backward."
Another adviser says of the Clinton avalanche: "I don't think any of us
inside the Bush administration would be out wishing for this." But, this person
says, "George W. Bush has demonstrated great discipline when it comes to the
former president, which is not to rassle with that tar baby. We stick to our
business."
But Lockhart says the president "is running a pretty cynical good cop/bad cop
campaign. The Republican apparatus has been out there pushing these stories, and
Bush says we shouldn't be focusing so much on Clinton."
Lockhart also insists that the media are pumping up some of the Clinton
controversies. "We've seen a real deterioration in the press's ability to
separate a real news story from the chatter that starts on the Internet or in
conservative circles," he says. "There's probably a little bit of withdrawal
from covering Bill Clinton. It's ridiculous."
Democratic strategist Mark Mellman also sees Bush losing out: "There's only
so much news hole for politics. If Bill Clinton's taking it up, that means
George Bush isn't."
Despite the Democratic spin, the media battering of Clinton has given the
party a black eye. Even Clinton's Commerce secretary, William Daley, tells the
New York Times that Clinton's exit has been "devastating." The Newsweek and Time
covers out today are on Clinton. (Time's headline: "Th
