But to really capture the Clintons' last days in office you'd need sponsers like UHaul ( backing up a truck to the White House to carry off the stuff that was property of the nation but the Clintons felt was swag ) or Sotheby's ( holding a pardons auction - with Mark Rich bidding by phone from the Bahamas or someplace ) <bg>
>I think one of the reasons some people don't like Hillary (and that includes me) is her perceived humorlessness. So in that sense this is a smart campaign move. She may in fact be humorless but at least she is willing to indulge humor in others and even participate in the video. Woodenly, but still.

>Did you ever see this one? It was made in the waning days of Bill Clinton's administration. After seeing the Sopranos video yesterday I found it still online and laughed all over again.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
