Thank you for a good laugh.
"Merely corroborative detail intended to give artistic veresimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing argument."
Mr. Nonymouse:
The Mikado quote brought quite a smile to my face and had me repeating the line aloud to myself, which made me realize that I must regretfully offer a correction:
"...otherwise bald and unconvincing *narrative*."
I'm certainly you didn't know, had no notion, and weren't there.

Why post this nonsense?
What good does it do? If you do not like Ms. Clinton - well get in line plenty conservatives and some liberals can not stand her for actual factual, political or philisophical reasons. If one wants to poke some fun there must be better jokes than this lame story.
Lighten up, Grega. It's clever and funny.
Grega:
In a larger sense, Philip's point may be not about Mrs. Clinton (she IS married, or was last time I checked) but about the tremendous power of dissimulation. Nothing whatsoever in the rewrite is untrue to the letter of the original.
As the truth became, inevitably, known, Senator Clinton's office contacted this reporter and made it clear that the true story remains: Remus Rodham was One Child Left Behind. If only the family planning options available to women now had been available in the mid-19th century, this tragedy might never had occurred.
Dave:
"Lighten up, Grega. It's clever and funny." Point taken - I am not all that serious about it quite frankly.
May the best one win - this bumbling lazy man president certainly continues
to make a case for a smart hard working women.
I take it you and Kathy will vote for her in 2008, right?
After all, look at the bright side: Senator Clinton is not divorced and held onto her marriage in rather difficult times, she also raised a pretty impressive daughter, she might actually do more for struggling middle class persons like you and me than our oh so 'compassionate' guy in office right now who is shifting yours and mine tax dollars towards the Halliburtons of this world.
Perhaps the young Blosser Family even get affordable health care in the mix- oh american utopia?
If Mrs. Clinton runs in 2008 and wins, there will be no need for further evidence that Democracy is a morally bankrupt system of government.
Grega, I may vote for Clinton in '08, and even I laughed, just the way I laughed at the Onion's "scinetific" report on Bush's doulbe digit IQ.
Thank you, Richard, I thought "narrative" was it, but don't trust my memory, since it's been a while since I did Mikado.
With permission, I'll post a link to my version of "I've Got A Little List."

It begins --
1. With the Church in dire need of some liturgical reform
I've got a little list, I've been drawing up a list
Of some dreadful little ditties, that alas, are now the norm
But never would be miss'd, if we banned what's on the list
Those happy-clappy tunes of the self-celebrating kind
By Who'sThatPagan, Thing'ma-Monk, and likewise-- Never mind
