...this lasts and how ugly it gets and what our politics will look like when it's all over. The White House was passionately opposed to hearing from anyone; the House prosecutors started the bidding at 15 and threatened to include women with Clinton stories to tell that even Ken Starr didn't think warranted repeating...
