YOU WANT SCANDAL?


Where, WHERE is the outrage at the latest act of Washington sexual harassment? Where are the pickets? What about a congressional hearing? Let us put it another way: Who put the pubic hair in Bill Clinton’s Coke?

Last week, on a trip to Lansing, Mich., the president of the United States told reporters on Air Force One (according to Paul Bedard of the Washington Times) that he was “doing great” despite the fund-raising flap. “He even joked with photographers who saw him in the jet’s galley with a stewardess,” Bedard reported. “Looking at the cameramen, he said, ‘You want scandal?’ He then hugged the flight attendant and barked: ‘Send for an independent counsel. ‘”

We here at THE WEEKLY STANDARD wish to express our shock at how lightly Bill Clinton is taking the issue of sexual harassment. Clinton told MTV in 1992 that he believed Anita Hill. Now we know why.

By the way, now that Clinton has let us all know who spent the night in the Lincoln Bedroom, isn’t it time he made public the overnight guests at Camp David? We’d love to know how much a night in the Catoctin Mountains costs. More than a cup of coffee, we imagine. But how much more?
