MEMORY LOSSES

During the recent Senate hearings concerning Whitewater, it was amazing to listen to presumably well-educated individuals with such poor memories.

The memories of Mr. Clinton's staff members testifying when asked questions complimentary to their boss improved remarkably. These individuals probably recalled being in their mother's womb and could cite the very time they first saw the light of day.

The above information is not surprising considering that their boss has a severe case of the very same symptoms - when convenient. Forty-three percent of U.S. voters were deceived by his cleverness.

Perhaps U.S. voters will send many of the Clintonites home for good this fall. And perhaps in 1996 a new president will sit in the White House and his spouse will attend to normal wifely pursuits and not blunder along as second in command.
