...better things to do, as a Governor's wife, than bake cookies for Chelsea and Bill, she took to compensatory cookie making on an industrial scale. Stung by Whitewater allegations, she did penance by giving a press conference in girlish pink. What can we expect if the Gingrich remark provokes yet another make-over? A floor-length Mother Hubbard gown of handloomed calico...
...been painful to witness. She dishonors her whole sex when she apologizes, runs back to the image molders or threatens to "soften" herself to the consistency of a milk-dipped chocolate-chip cookie.

And now, vaguely similar noises are coming from someone with real power -- inside-the-Beltway power, no less. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who last week spoke at a Washington conference called Democracy in Virtual America, is trying to move Congress toward a "virtual Congress." He envisions a House committee holding "a hearing in five cities by television while the actual committee is sitting here." He's also letting C-SPAN's cameras...
