Keep It Short

Mr. Clinton’s advisers warned him to be on guard after he gave a 1995 speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, noting that the question and answer period with that group had gotten him in trouble the year before.

Last year, you delivered a thoughtful speech to the ASNE that was drowned out by your assessment of the press’s coverage of Whitewater in response to a questions… your responses to Q&A should be perfunctory enough to keep attention whereit belongs: on the speech.”

As if the truly incriminating stuff survived.

There’s been over a decade to excise, shred, and delete.

Many trails have gone cold on the Clintoon corruption.

I don’t know whether to be depressed over the coming Hillary presidency or elated that I’ll likely be dead before Chelsea takes over....

Somebody hide Boner’s tanning cream. He’ll turn into a piece of copy paper in a day or so. What an idiot!
