According to the Associated Press, it seems that you and President Clinton are still Bosom Buddies, after all. That's too bad. The story of your second thoughts about donating to the President's legal defense fund certainly made quite a Splash. We really thought you were ready to be Big about this.

People who care about the rule of law and the future of this nation are Sleepless in Seattle -- and much of the rest of the country, including The 'Burbs -- over the Clinton scandals. His administration has been like a two-term Bachelor Party.

I know that you and the other Hollywood Volunteers think that you are Saving President Clinton. But you and the rest of the Hollywood elite, particularly Barbra Streisand, are actually proving the old adage, "stupid is as stupid does." In effect, you've said to the President, "we don't care about That Thing You Do!" You're really in A League of Your Own.

When you first voiced your misgivings (which you've since retracted) about donating money to the Clinton defense fund, you transmitted the signal, "Washington, we have a problem." As a Philadelphia lawyer, I can tell you that your initial second thoughts were absolutely correct. The law (5 U.S.C. 7353) prohibits any federal official, including the President, from soliciting, accepting or benefitting from monies from private citizens - the President's legal defense fund is an illegal operation. Perhaps you can explain the facts to your Hollywood friends before they throw any more money onto this Bonfire of the Vanities.

Sincerely,

P.S. Wasn't it nice of me not to mention Joe Vs. the Volcano?
