More Parodies

"(Rep. Gary Condit) hasn't been very
 forthcoming with the FBI about his 
involvement with his missing intern.
 Now it's been revealed that when 
Clinton was in trouble in '98 he wrote 
a letter to Newt Gingrich demanding 
that Bill Clinton come forward with 
full disclosure of what he had done. 
... Only in Washington would a man 
alleged to have had an affair with
 an intern, condemn a man who had 
an affair with an intern, by writing
 a letter to a man who had an affair
 with a staffer. God Bless Washington." 
—Jay Leno
