Uncle Scoopy's
News House Extra! Clinton negotiates alternative
punishment.
President
Clinton's lawyers and advisers continue to
negotiate with lawmakers about the possibility of
an alternative to impeachment. Although the first
offer, censure, was rejected, a crack is opening
in the opposing stance. Members of the House of
Representatives have reported off-the-record that
they will drop impeachment proceedings if the
President agrees to some type of castration.
At this point,
the sides are far apart. Representatives have
argued that nothing less than the complete
removal of all the Presidents's sexual organs
will be adequate atonement for his sins, while
lawyers for the President have so far offered
only to hide Mr. Clinton's Viagra. Beltway
pundits seem to feel that a compromise could be
reached somewhere in the area of chemical
castration.
"No
compromises. We have the votes, and we want his
dick", confided House Majority Whip Tom
DeLay, "Chop that puppy. It's what he
deserves. Clinton's a backwater bohunk from a
rube state, and has no business in
Washington". Mr. DeLay formerly ran an pest
exterminating business in Sugarland, Texas.
Conservative
scholar George Will contended that there is
inadequate historical precedent to determine the
precise apropriate degree of multilation, since
"of recent Presidents with impeachable
potential, Lyndon promised not to seek
re-election rather than have his Johnson chopped
off, and President Nixon had to resign since he
had no dick, tricky or otherwise."
Lawyers for
Clinton are also negotiating to retain the
commercial television rights to the event.
Coca-Cola has offered to pay $235 million for
exclusive sponsorship if the President's weed
will be wacked on camera, and if the President
will agree to ask for a Coke when offered a last
request. Clinton's lawyers see this as a way for
the President to attack his mounting pile of
debts, especially debts to them.
