15 FEBRUARY 1999 - WASHINGTON (AP) - 
The fiercest of foes, President Clinton and congressional Republicans find 
their interests intersecting as the impeachment drama subsides and attention 
shifts to the upcoming legislative session, campaign 2000 and the
president's own legacy. Republicans must pass serious legislation before the 
next elections to accomplish something other than impeaching the president. 
Clinton  may need to sign serious legislation to improve a record stained by 
impeachment. But Democratic lawmakers fear that by helping himself, Clinton 
could cost them a shot at winning back control of the House. A little 
gridlock is better than too much compromise, Democratic leaders say.

In other words, "Screw the country, let's get rid of Republicans before the 
people realize they were right."



15 FEBRUARY 1999 - MERIDA, Mexico (AP) - 
Addressing rampant speculation back home about a "Hillary for Senate"
campaign, President Clinton endorsed the idea today and said his wife would 
be "great if she did it." But Mrs. Clinton has made no decision, he 
cautioned. "First of all I think it's important that everyone understand 
that people in New York started calling her. I don't think it had ever 
occurred to her before a lot of people started calling and asking her to do 
it," Clinton said in exchange with reporters after his private meeting with 
Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo. "I think she would be terrific in the 
Senate.... She would be great if she did it," Clinton said.

The liberals scream about the terrible rich Republicans who buy a Senate 
or House seat in a state where they do not even really live. And now 
they are asking Hillary to do it. Is that a hoot, or what. & just what we 
need -- another Senator from the socialist wing of the Democratic party. 
Maybe she could organize some collectives after she finally gets her 
socialized medicine program in place. And maybe reeducation prorams for 
conservatives who believe in the old American virtues and work ethics.



13 APRIL 1999 - President Clinton faces a new blot on his record and 
thousands of dollars in fresh legal expenses after a federal judge cited 
him for contempt of court. Historians believe he is the first chief 
executive to receive such a penalty. U.S. District Judge Susan Webber 
Wright concluded Monday that the president lied about his relationship 
with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky in a Jan. 17, 1998, deposition 
in the Paula Jones case. "Simply put, the president's 
deposition 
testimony...was intentionally false," Wright wrote. The judge ordered 
Clinton to pay Jones "any reasonable expenses including attorneys' fees 
caused by his willful failure to obey this court's discovery orders" 
and also to pay $1,202 as reimbursement for the judge's travel in the case.

Congratulations, Mr. President, it's a Presidential First. You 
were only the second President to be impeached, (although the first one 
should not have been.) But this a first! The first sitting President to 
be found guilty of contempt of court. And well deserved it is.
Finally, a true first for the Clinton administration.
