Bush vs. O.J Simpson

O.J is back in jail, a Clinton political donor is in the slammer, and a president named George Bush has U.S. troops camping out in the Persian Gulf. It seems like the 1990’s. Or as Yogi Berra would say, “It’s déjà vu all over again.”

Actually, it would be pretty nice to travel back in time to a period when the White House scandals mostly involved sex. Bush has his Democratic Peace Theory – spreading democracy will lessen the chances for war. But I have what I’m calling the Lusty Peace Theory – spreading sexy young interns throughout the White House will lessen the chances of war. Of course, my theory may not hold up if America elects Hillary.

Too bad I don't have a theory about how to keep O.J. out of trouble, except to lock the guy up and throw away the key this time. After all, the argument his lawyers made at his previous trial -- If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit -- was even less persuasive than the legal rationale that decided Bush vs. Gore. And now look at the trouble we're in.
