"White House administrator David Watkins"

A blast from the past. One of the first Clintonites to fall on his sword for Bill & Hill. A long-time FOB who had his own "wimin problems" was caught using Marine One to scout out some golf courses for Bill and the press raised a stink when they found out.

I remember reading a story about the events as they unfolded. Watkins was a little nervous and anxious in a back corridor before Bill Clinton headed to the podium for a press conference. Clinton told Watkins to relax and that he would take care of everything. When the press started pushing the issue of the helicopter trip, Bill Clinton told them that it was all taken care of, essentially telling them that Watkins was acting on his own, was sorry for what he did and has turned in his resignation. Watkins, watching over CCTV from the back was stunned. I'm sure though, as a long-time friend, he wasn't totally surprised.

I vaguely recall stories about a reckless aide who took a White House chopper for his own personal joyride.

That sounds like America's favorite, middle-aged juvenile delinquent.
