...Senate Investigation. Starr's victory has given Alfonse d'Amato's Whitewater committee new life just as the New York Senator was ready to close up shop. Before issuing the obligatory scathing report, he will make one last play--probably by hearing testimony from Hale, the perjurer and fraudster from the McDougal trial...
...first time, a witness took a piece out of Senator Alfonse D'Amato rather than the other way around. The Republican attack dog resumed his Whitewater hearings last week after a two-month hiatus during which the Senate slapped an absolute deadline of June 14 on him. With only seven weeks left to find a smoking gun, D'Amato called fresh prey to the stand: former Clinton chief of staff Betsey Wright.

...even make fun of anyone who tries to change him.

When Senator Al D'Amato of New York urged Dole two weeks ago to attend a debate before the Texas primary--"You gotta go," D'Amato said, "you gotta go"--Dole teased, "Well, if you want...
...mini-series--too much trailer park, too few Gulfstreams jetting to private islands, amounts in the low-six rather than high-seven figures, and a low quotient of hunks. That may explain why Democrats, who last May joined a 96-3 vote authorizing the ethically challenged Senator Alfonse D'Amato to chair the Whitewater Committee, now are holding firm against an open extension of the hearings. After eight months there's no smoking gun, no smoking anything, just a simmering stew of subdivided Ozark property without sewer lines and endless minutiae about closing costs and mortgage points. No one knows...
