It's unlike you to miss a joke, Doug. But I wouldn't care to overdo the the claim that The Big Creep is a lawyer--I mean, he is, technically, at least until the Arkansas bar chucks him out, and he taught con law yea these many years ago, but he's a pol, not a lawyer. For good or ill, he doesn't as we say, think like a lawyer. Hilary, by contrast, is very lawyerly. That's part of why she's hated. I agree, of course, that El Creepo is a fine and effective public speaker. --jks

That's because he's one of your people, Justin - a lawyer. But when

he's speaking as a politician, he has no rival. As James Farmelant

said, Reagan was great with a script - but Clinton doesn't need a

script. I have to say, as repellent as he is in so many ways, I'm

going to miss the guy.
