>>(God I miss John Profumo)

>>>Ah Profumo, if politics here were like politics there, the man whose life after retirement Clinton would now be enjoying... :o)
>>
>>And you look at Mandy Rice Davies and Christine Keeler and then Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones ... Maybe that's why I can't forgive Clinton.

>>Reminds of the line at the end of Man for All Seasons where Thomas More says to Richard Rich who has sold him out to become high commissioner in Wales , "Richard, it profits a man nothing to lose his soul for the whole world. But for *Wales*, Richard ? "

>>(just looked up Profumo's post resignation activities - pretty cool. Of course, there ain't Dubai money in it, but I bet Bill Clinton wouldn't have been invited to join Boodles or to Maggies 70th birthday. Anyway, good for him . Better taste, all the way down the line. RIP John.)

>Christine Keeler was in the Clinton club? I did not know that. At least she doesn't look skanky like the rest.
Nooo, I was comparing classic-Tory-temptresses (Keeler, Davies) with the Clinton Girls. And say what you like about JFK, at least *his* East German Spy, CIA wife, Mafia Mole and murdered discarded movie star were hot !

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.
