    Barack is Caesar's Wife?

    Caesar said, "Caesar's wife must be above suspicion." And then he divorced her, even though she had done noting wrong. It was a trumped-up scandal involving a gangster cross-dresser, much discussed on Salon at the time.

    Anyway, my friends, anybody who moves in interesting circles meets questionable people. I myself sent a letter to a murderer last week, but I am not a murderer. In 1964, this murderer let me ride his motorbike. He was my friend, and I still like him better than silly Salon posters who never have been anywhere or met anybody.

    Barack seems to have come pretty clean about this. That guy was his friend, way back when, but Barck is clean.
