Oh, Dear. Another Jane Doe.

Title: “Oh, Dear…” -- In the materials turned over to the House of Representatives by Kenneth Starr, there were numerous references to additional women who had been interviewed at various stages of the Clinton-Jones-Lewinsky-Willey matter. These women were referred to as “Jane Does” to protect their identities. “…comeback kid …” -- During the New Hampshire Primary season in 1992, Bill Clinton was beset by, imagine this, rumors and reports of sexual misconduct. He and Hillary went on 60 Minutes and offered, imagine this, misleading and unhelpful answers to the questions posed. In fact, he may have out and out lied about the Jennifer Flowers case. It is not a crime, in America, to lie to the news media. In the actual primary election, Clinton came in second which after which he did a victory lap around the State and proclaimed himself “the comeback kid.”

“That Nackey …” -- The publisher of the Manchester Union-Leader is Nackey Loeb, who carries on the tradition of conservative views of her father William Loeb.

“… $46 million …” -- The AFL-CIO announced at their meeting in Florida they would be spending that amount to support hundreds of political organizers in the field for the next two years doing registration drives and get out the vote programs.

“ … in her infamous NY Times op-ed …” -- After the Kathleen Willey appearance on 60 Minutes, Gloria Steinem – one of the leaders of the feminist movement – wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times suggesting that even if the President had done everything Kathleen Willey said he had done, it was all right because he took “no” for an answer. The suggestion was a man – or at least Bill Clinton – had a free pass to make a pass as long as he stopped when she told him to. This is a theory of sexual harassment which had not previously been made known to the rest of society.
