Indeed let us not forget that Clinton was literally and figuratively the 
greatest wanker ever to occupy the Oval Office.  I have no idea how much 
time Clinton spends at his renowned office in Harlem, getting down with the 
folks, but I suspect it could be measured in a handful of minutes per annum. 

  On the other hand, I run into ol' Bill constantly in one of my favorite 
escapes, watching TV's Travel Channel; it's a rare reference to a five-star 
hotel anywhere in the world that does not include the proud mention that 
Bill Clinton has stayed there in some suite of Faroukian luxury.  I still 
have hopes, though, that Bill will complete the circle and come to an ending 
as humble as his beginnings.
