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."

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.
