So Sue Me . . .

by Mike Jasper


Billy got head and I don't care

I'm feeling jovial, almost jocund.

I love that line. I've used it several times. Stole it from Mark Twain. But you didn't know that till now, did you? Do you forgive me?

Of course you do. Just as you forgive Bill Clinton. And do you know why? It's not because "The Union is strong," although that doesn't hurt. And it's not because you don't believe he got a lip lock in the oval office. You fucking know he did.

It's because this time, finally, he dallied with a woman that didn't look like the runner-up for the Wicked Witch role in the Shady Grove Trailer Park production of Wizard Of Oz.

Then again, maybe it's the economy... stupid.

Or maybe not. Personally, I wouldn't fuck Monica. But I'd pretty much accept a blow job from anyone, if they asked politely.

The president's sexual excursion with an intern just doesn't matter. It's like this. Say you've got two doctors. One of them is a highly competent, award-winning surgeon who also happens to be a certified sex maniac. The other is a rigidly moral but unfortunately inept medical practitioner who couldn't diagnose inbreeding at the Arkansas State Fair. Who do you pick? The first guy, right?

Not necessarily. If the first guy's a gay proctologist, you might want to take your chances with Mr. Fuckup.

The thing is, sometimes sexual proclivities matter and sometimes they don't. Hey, it's not like Billy fondled the neighbor kid and then swallowed the gun. He got a blow-job from an intern (at least according to the video circulating on the internet) so what's the big deal?

It ain't Clinton, I can tell you that.

I've got a confession to make. I was lying about seeing the video of Clinton on the internet. Are you going to stop reading my column? Are you shocked that I would lie in print? Or is this just what you would expect from someone who predicted San Francisco and Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl?

Truth is: you don't care. I didn't cost you your job, I didn't get you involved in a war, I didn't have sex with YOUR old lady (I'm guessing) and I didn't do anything more than what Bill Clinton is doing -- providing us with amusing copy for the daily grind.

But wait! What about Nixon? He lied to us. He covered up. Shouldn't Bill be treated the same as Nixon? Shouldn't Bill be impeached, just like Nixon?

I think not. For two reasons:

1) Nixon looked like a crook and we always wanted to catch him at something.
 
2) As far as I know, Billy didn't tape the damn thing. If he did, you can bet they'd be burning the Memorex in the old James Monroe fireplace about now.

Bill just isn't as stupid as Nixon. Nixon didn't have the experience in cover-ups the way Billy does. Nixon didn't go around fucking women behind Pat's back. He fucked the country in full view.

Can you imagine Nixon having an affair? You can? Eeeewwwwwww. Actually, it's too bad he didn't. Would have given the name Tricky Dick a whole new respect.

I know. Some of you think I'm missing the point. "He lied to us. It's not the blow job in the Oval Office, it's the fact he lied to us."

Get real. If lies bother you than blow jobs scare the living shit out you. I could lie before I could walk. Besides, we WANT a president who lies. George Washington couldn't tell a lie. And then one night he got drunk with Benedict Arnold. Lies are what keep us together, as a nation and as a family.

"You look as good as the day I first met you... honey." Again, it's not the lies, it's Bill living out the things you can only fantasize about that bothers you.

Despite all the coverage of Bill and Monica, the press has failed to follow-up one of the most intriguing angles to the story. To wit, who is Hillary fucking? That's what we really want to know. She's had to have gotten even somewhere down the line. It's not like Bill's meandering hasn't been going on for years. He didn't just wake up one day and say, "Hey, I'm president. Think I'll fuck around." Hell no. He woke up one day and said, "I've been married three fucking months now. Think I'll fuck around."

One thing you can bet on. Whoever Hillary is banging has got to look better in a dress than Paula Jones.

Which brings me back to Monica. When I first got wind of the story, the first thing I thought was, "Well, she's not bad looking. Bill's improving. I see growth. I see a lot of growth there."

This could never happen to someone like me, by the way. First, who would ever elect me? Second, who would ever fuck me? Okay, my girlfriend, but you see (and I mean this only in the most hypothetical way, because I would never, ever fool around on my girlfriend just as I would never, ever run for public office) we all have a chance to learn something from this national soap opera, something meaningful and yet practical.

It's like this: Boys, if you're going to fool around on your wife and you don't want the women to squeal on you, then you've got to lick pussy. Forget fucking, forget head, just... lick... pussy. No jury on earth will ever convict you.

(FEMALE INTERN, FACING A HORDE OF REPORTERS): "I'm here to tell the media and the American people that the President of the United States of America licked my twat."

There's only a couple of follow-ups to that one.

One is: "And?"

The other is: "Did you come?"

Believe it. You've heard many things in the media and the talk shows. You've heard of brothers fucking the same women, only for Jerry Sprenger to later reveal it was their own mother. You've heard about dicks being cut off and taken for joy rides. You heard about rape, incest and O.J. But you've never heard, "It was terrible. He broke into my house, tied me to the bed and licked me for hours."

And unless there's a German Shepherd involved, you ain't never gonna hear that either.

"Women who have been licked against their will: Today's focus on Geraldo.

No... I don't think so.
