... Highway into town. (or you can take the Low Road. It's all the same.) Make a right hand turn on Ken Starr Street and proceed a couple of miles passing the Monica Mall on your left. At this point, you'll find yourself right smack dab in the Government quarter. On your left, you will see the former Palace of Justice-now the Palace of Perjury. It sits right across from the former Ministry of...

... the need for a special prosecutor to investigate CIA lying to Congress. Schultz even nominated Ken Starr for the job: Now I have to ask the Obama administration. I know you got a lot on your plate and I know you got a lot going on. How much evidence do you need, Mr. Holder? How much evidence do you need before you have the Justice Department decide, you know, where there's smoke there's...

... but you still won’t vote for Alan Keyes. # You have to believe that it was wise to allow Ken Starr to spend $50 million dollars to attack Clinton because no other U.S. presidents have ever been unfaithful to their wives. # You have to believe that a waiting period for purchasing a handgun is bad because quick access to a new firearm is an important concern for all Americans. # You have to...

... investigation into the financial crisis that was as dogged and intense and public as Ken Starr’s investigations of Bill Clinton? Complete with a book like the 9/11 Commission’s? We’ve got Patrick Fitzgerald investigating Blagojevich and… which B-team, exactly, on the global financial crisis? Come on. Let’s get to the bottom of something . Preferably something real .

... questions about subjects ranging from Vincent Foster to Monica Lewinsky would not fit within Ken Starr's subpoena requests. The Daily Beast excerpts from The Clinton Tapes indicate attorneys for Clinton listened to portions of the recordings and provided information found in the tapes to investigators, but the tapes themselves, Smerconish says, were never turned over. Without seeing the...

Bill Clinton never told Ken Starr about his secret Taylor Branch tapes, a source tells Michael Smerconish. Was that legal? Ex-prosecutors will dig through old records to figure that out. The lawyer in me had two recurring questions while reading all...

In spite of this, conservative media outlets such as Fox News, the Washington Times and American Spectator continued to promote them. In fact, Sean Hannity continues to promote the Vince Foster conspiracy theory on his Fox News program. (Read here .) Weiss was...

James Carville skewering Glenn Beck doubtless has less credibility that Lindsay Graham doing the same, but it is an indication of how angry the left is becoming at a man it pretty much ignored till a few months ago. Has Carville been this animated since the days of Ken Starr? Carville calls the Fox talker “nuts,” a “hypocrite,” and, bizarrely, a man who doesn’t “know the difference between a...

I ask because it's now clear that NATO expansion is the Whitewater of the Clinton foreign policy.
