    Some of the comments are great, tops at the moment and I agree with all of them:  

    "Call their bluff? Giving the Republicans a special prosecutor is giving them a Christmas present. As for Starr, you must be joking. He turned a nothing event, Whitewater, into an endless witch hunt, and collaborated with the "elves" like Ann Coulter whose sole intent to was to destroy Clinton. He's not a bulldog, he's an inquisitor. And, he was also the second special prosecutor appointed to investigate Whitewater. The first concluded there was no wrongdoing by Clinton, but that was unacceptable to the Republicans in Congress. Do you think today's GOP is more ready to listen to facts and reason than the Republicans of the '90s? If so, I've got a bridge you can buy. "

    "We really do need an investigation!
    I think The New York Times has been hacked by The Onion."

    "Meanwhile, we have some governing to do."

    Just what, exactly, is it that leads you to believe that the Republicans have any interest in governing?"

    Can you imagine Ken Starr being given carte blance again???
