Did Clinton Harass Paula Jones?

Dear Stuart,

Is there another word I could say that would convince anyone who isn't already convinced? We're supposed to leave them wanting more, aren't we?
So how about if I just include in my thanksgiving the chance to disagree with someone I respect so much, and even try to do it with integrity and humor. Imagine what the world might be like if this were how people had public discourse.
Thanks to everyone else, too, for all the comments (and even some fan mail).
