...still feel horrible about how indiscreet I was. That was a real betrayal. I betrayed the President in that way. I didn't have the foresight to see what the possible ramifications of this could be. But I also always thought to myself, [the] worst-case scenario was [if] one of these people in whom I confided--aside from Linda Tripp--turned on me. Where would they turn on me? They'd go to the press. What would I do? I'd make a statement and say this is not true. And that's not illegal...
...funny lines kept coming. Radio personality Jim Bohannon wondered how someone could date a woman as indiscreet as Linda Tripp. "You'd think if you unhooked you'd hear a dial tone." Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, the rather whiny Clinton critic from MSNBC, did something unique to the evening: she engaged in self-mockery, with a long riff on television "pundettes"--"someone who says the same thing over and over and over, but never wears the same dress twice"--and then, even more bravely, actually sang a smoky number called The Pundette Blues...

So be sure to wash it all down with a movie or two from Column B. The Senator Was Indiscreet, with 'Thin Man' William Powell, is a still-funny Washington lampoon from 1947, before we knew there was so much to satirize. Throw in star-studded Senate classic Advise and Consent for a briefer on the Weld mess. But if you're a campaign finance junkie, and you need...
...curly hair and pierced tongue; cool, unsmiling Victoria; Mel C., with her dark locks and sassy nose stud; red-haired Geri, of whom old topless photos have turned up in those naughty English tabs; and blond "Baby Spice" Emma, who claimed to be 19 but recently held a rather indiscreet 21st birthday party...
