\nJefferson Clinton lied about a blow job in the oval office. Cost to the American public:
\nEmbarrassment and wasted millions in federal funds for the Starr
\ninvestigation. Cost to Clinton: He was
\nlicense to practice law.<\/P>
\n
\nshares of Imclone immediately preceding their decline in value. Cost to the American public:
\nDifficult to determine. One could make the case that, if guilty, she undermined faith in the stock
\nmarket. Cost to Stewart: A jury in her upcoming
\n
\nthe American public: Disillusionment. Cost to Rose: He is forever banned
\nfrom the sport (so far), and possibly a spot in the Hall of Fame.<\/P>
\n
\nabout the Al Queda link to Iraq. Cost to the American public: Hundreds of American dead,
\nmore wounded (and uncounted Iraqi dead and wounded), billions of dollars wasted, international
\ncredibility and prestige at an all-time low. Cost to the Maximum Leader: None that I can
\ntell.”<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
