ASHINGTON, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- President Clinton [upon the discovery of the body of Barbara Wise in the Commerce Department offices] briefly interrupted his Thanksgiving holiday weekend at Camp David Friday with a quick trip to the White House to gather data...and then returned to the mountaintop retreat... The president, still suffering from a raspy voice, and ordered by his doctor to rest his vocal chords, carried a briefcase as he strolled to the waiting helicopter to return to Camp David. He wore a leather jacket and was followed by an aide ... Clinton reviewing inaugural plans, Helen Thomas, 29-NOV-1996 |
Rather than admitting to the typo, I suppose I could claim that ASHINGTON is a portmanteau construction of New York and Washington, which would be an especially apt device to use to describe the "Through the Looking-Glass for real" Humpty Dummy clinton years. (Lewis Carroll and Humpty Dumpty were fond of using the device...and Humpty Dummy was fond of using the two cities.) "'O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy." Carroll coined the word chortle (combining 'chuckle' and 'snort') in Through the Looking-Glass. Humpty Dumpty uses portmanteau to describe the word slithy, saying, "It's like a portmanteau--there are two meanings packed up into one word" (the meanings being "lithe" and "slimy").

As a studier of Democratic tactics, this one smells funny. There is more to this than first meets the eye. I think there is a serious Clinton (and or Gore and or DNC) scandal hiding beyond the first chapter. Yes their actions are consistent with an attack on Bush and the Republicans. But the strategy design seems more like their tactics to cover something up by going on the offensive and then using the fall back plan of "both parties are a little dirty" if the real story is discovered.

What will everyone do now that Bill Clinton is no longer there to be the subject of everyone's derision?

Exhume and autopsy Ron Brown's body. Find a bullet wound ... as the military pathologists, military photographer, photos and an x-ray of the skull all seem to suggest ... and the ENRON matter will be a SIDE SHOW.
