No, I was referring to the various times Clinton operatives treated Paula Jones _et al._. As I recall one quote, it was Carville referring to her as trailer trash or something similar.

My impression is that politics got nastier most noticeably during the Bork hearings. It probably does no good to argue about who started it, but I don’t recall a lot of discussion from the Reagan camp about Gerry Ferraro’s drug dealer son, or her husband defrauding his clients. Or even Chappaquidick.

I don’t think it can be stated enough that a friend of mine has seen the Yale Bush daughter buck naked at a naked party.

Damn, I got nothing.

??? Sorry, I missed that story. What’s the background?

Ermmm . . . Did he happen to have a camera at the time? I guess that would be too much to hope for . . .

No, but he did mention that she’d shaved for the occasion. Racing stripes are all the rage among the abstinence-only crowd these days…
